If Rick wins Bathurst, I wanna see if He can call VB-sozzled bogans a 'pack of arseholes' with as much vitriol as Jim Richards could.

doubt it. for starters there's his girly little voice. i reckon he'd probably just wet his pants and run off

First up, Not a diehard fan of V8SC, but will watch it because racecar. I don't get all punchy over some driver I watch and long to become. I have no brand allegiance.

The V8SC brand is designed to entertain it's target Audience and it does so very well. Middle income Australians with families. What do people what to watch? Things that they can relate to. So having an Australian built car to base your racer from that resembles the car in the driveway is a smart move by the series promoter.

V8SC is already heavily regulated to what they can and cant do with the car they choose to run. Control tyres, brakes, aero, basic cage design and layout, tank sizing and power. If you think a manufacture has a signifcant advantage over another due to any of the above, you are mistaken. A while back there was an uproar as the falcons (i believe) had a better aero package, to which The Holden brigade were aloud modifications to theirs to render similar results. This is all in an attempt to keep Jim Public interested with closer racing.

The other thing that everyone has forgotten, doesn't care for or has their head up their 10-20y/o import backsides, is that the Falcon as we know it know will be no longer. Ford are going to an international platform that is most likely to be FWD/AWD, with rumours of v6 and turbo 4's. To Keep a Falcon in the running, the rules must change to accomodate this, otherwise it becomes a 1 make series. This in itself looks to be a big factor to how the ruling and plans for COTF has developed, which also means that it opens the doors to other manufacturers.

Just my 2 cents.

What's all this talk of GTR this and GTR that?

The only 4 door sedan that Nissan sell in Australia is the Maxima.

and it's not even RWD....but it's the only one with the right body.

I forced myself to watch V8Extra on saturday to see if any info was forthcoming re the body shape or engine. As expected, they're on a slow-release of info. skaife (who would know), said he knows what the details are, but it will all come out in due course.

The body style is "a car that is not available yet".

That would have been my next guess, a car that is already overseas or to be launched overseas soon and will be launched here in time for the 2013 V8SC series.

were you expecting better? i wasn't. unless they really pick up their act, there's going to be a lot of extremely upset nissan fanbois (not refering to the average nissan fan, just the ones who think that nissan is going to dominate like it did 20 years, as if that somehow has an effect on how they will do next year)

I wouldn't be expecting 888 dominance next year.

COTF is going to level the grid. Any single team or driver could shine. There is a dew guys who have driven specific tube chassis touring cars who could be well up the front next year.

Look at the french dude cutting his teeth at the moment. Driven DTM and done very well, could be a real threat.....

Doesn't seem like such a stupid idea giving him a drive when the cars of next year are right up his ally.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
