Nascar rules! (already wearing my flame suit!) rather watch super taxi's and nascar over F1.... =D

and I think V8's in the states seems like a ok idea, but the fact its going to be taken away from tassie, uhh they are talking what, singapore, texas, already in the middle east, china? NZ. its almost not australian touring cars anymore is it? or am i wrong?

and I know they have stickers for headlamps etc, and they are made from sheet metal, much like a letterbox, but atleast nascar has more than 2 manafacturers! chevrolet, Ford, dodge, toyota. sticker or not, would love to see more than poxy holden and ford.

they have completely different cars for 'road racing' than ovals. they turn equally well (or equaly badly?) both directions.

They have different cars for the short & long ovals aswell.

The technology in Nascar is actually right up there. People look at the cars & sneer but the workshop engineering and preparation is every bit as good & beeter than our local stuff. Shaker rigs, predictive software the whole lot. They just cant get feedback from car sensors so there is no closing of the loop.

Dont you wish V8sc would just invest money here and race? sick of this company sucking the money out of the aussie racing scene..

Lets just read that again! Whilst we have lost a few fixed tracks, it seems all the growth of V8s has meant street races or OS races. Shame it hasnt resulted in any local tracks being built.

Wasnt Wakefield talking major developments a whiel back that would make it longer etc?

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
