Ahh Bathurst, the 1 weekend of the year that I don't answer phone calls or the front door and have missed numerous family things over the years! Actually I think it's my mothers birthday, but she can wait too!

I think Skaife and Lowndes have the winning combination but i'd really like to see my #1 team HRT do well they need it badly.

lowndes and skaife are a winning combo (and i'd love to seem them win it), but it's a long race and anything could happen. there have been plenty of "johnny on the spot" wins and podiums where teams have been mid pack for the whole race and then a safety car at the right time has fitted in perfectly with their strategy and put them up the front.

expected weather conditions at Mount Panorama today.

A top temperature of 18 degrees is expected today with morning fog and isolated showers and the chance of thunderstorms in the late afternoon.

lowndes and skaife must be even bigger favorites now...

greg murphy will be a favorite to.

that said he doesn't have the best wet Bathurst record does he....

Well looks like SBR are stepping up to the plate. All three cars in the top ten in P5 with Cheeseburger fastest. Whincup put his thing in the wall trying to keep up. So the 888 lads will be busy before qualifying this arvo.

mmmm bathurst = beer

one of these each, should be a good day

not sure if I will get to watch all 4 rwc games as well as the jap gp, but I will do my best. might even extend the weekend into monday if I need to...

one of their cars got bumped 5 spots down the grid because they didnt hear the call to get their cars weighed.

then the general manager of the supercabs pretty much called the GRM team incopetant etc

Garry wears his heart on his sleeve and I can understand how he would have been insulted.

Always been a fan of people that call it how they see it and don't worry about upsetting the world.

for the 2nd year in a row will be supporting a HOLDEN :yucky: so watch out for the Fair Dinkum Sheds car to come from 27th

An old rule I go by is...

1 by 11, or else 11 by 1... :cheers:

I like this moto!!!

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
