lol 100km/hr speed limit

just like perth :(

I did lol a bit. there was like 5 blokes there to watch and they looked like they just stumbled into it on their way somewhere. melbourne or sydney and it's packed 5 rows deep from the fence. i love perth. gold.

I'm sitting at Bathurst right now in a hotel room with a bunch of other skyline guys waiting for the laps to happen tomorrow.

Bring it button

nice. :) hope you get a good view mate. it will be pretty cool to see an F1 car on the track at bathurst. definitely once in a lifetime. wish I had known earlier and made a little road trip!

Webbers problem on the Bolte is that the FIA brought in a new rule this year that allows for the removal of a drivers super license for non sporting related issues, so if Mark had exceeded the speed limit, and the police decided to prosecute him (using Victoria's draconian regs) then Mark would have most likely ended up losing his super license.

If the bogans got upset about a gtr handing it to them they're gonna go rank over this.

yeah one of my mates was getting SMS's from a bogan friend saying "let me know when the F1 crashes". honestly what a f**kwit.

I wonder how they went with the F1 through the dipper. I really want to see the helicopter footage!

+1 for heli footage. i reckon voda are making an ad to coincide with melbourne F1 race.

the F1 would be fine through the dipper. People forget that supercars race there all the time and their front bar is an inch off the ground and they are low slung too. maybe a slightly different line but i don't think it would be an issue.

The v8's have 'some' suspension, f1 cars drag their asses along the ground. They find bumps an shiz.

+ 11ttyy bAjillion on footage of the 5 laps each in the f1 car. I promise not to bust my nut and make a mess until they are parking her back in the pits.

I have to say, bloody good effort from lowndes. he has not forgotten all his open wheel work in europe after all. just to be able to hop in and at least drive the thing at 8/10ths is a bloody good effort.

and kinks, awesome photos. :)

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
