racing with good parity is good racing. racing without parity is "the person with the biggest wallet wins", AKA group A from the early 90's, which ends up with 1 team coming first and second, with daylight coming 3rd.

the whole purpose of the COTF is to control the costs of the sport to keep it viable for the future, and keep the racing close. for all the crap nascar cops, from a specator point of view it is probably the most exciting, close racing on the planet. there is always lots of carnage, and you often don't really know who is going to win until the last lap. by comparison, F1 would be one of the most boring racing categories there is, with little overtaking on the track with most of it being done in the pits with the undercut. you don't even really get close racing in the pits like you do with the v8's, where cars may even trade paint in the pit lane (and often do when entering pit lane)

Skaife will get the job. He would have hung up his enduro helmet knowing exactly what was coming.

Tony isn't that bad, what his done for the sport of V8 supercars over the two decades is admirable. Granted his done nothing for lower forms of Motorsport but people don't realize that there is an entire committee making the decissions not just cochrane.

The homebush circuit was the brain fart of skaife, then put to the board who made the choice to run with it giving skaife the task of making it happen.

I say best of luck to cochrane, his been the spear head for the sport, taking all of the good and bad press over a long period of time. I admire what his done, hats off to him.

    • The title should have posted "EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26" I can seem to edit thr title on my Android.
    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
