With week 7 now gone, and a shock double-elimination taking two contestants out of the running, only three people remain in the Shannons Supercar Showdown!

This week’s reward challenge focuses on reaction time, and the ability to process visual information. V8 Supercar drivers need keen eyes in order to spot potential collisions, obstacles, and be able to react quick enough to avoid disaster.

The last three have to test their skills on a state of the art reaction tester. Not just once however, but twice. After they’ve completed the first task on the reaction tester, the competitor has to take part in a quick exercise circuit before heading back to the machine and giving it another go. Attempting to use the reaction tester whilst fatigued will show who can remain steady whilst under the pump.

Oil lubrication specialist Fuchs have provided a $500 dollar cash reward for the man with the speediest hands. Who has the stamina keep up their response times during the challenge and earn a quick buck in the process?

Also, this week’s task is something that’ll really step up the game. The contestants are no longer competing in the Renault RS250. They’re stepping things up to the Shannons V8 Supercar this week!

Each contestant will have three timed laps around Winton Raceway, then pit for a chat with the engineer to overlook the data logging and receive general feedback. From there, they are allowed another three timed laps to hopefully better their previous time.

The judges will be looking for communication between engineer and driver. This is a vital part of any motorsport team, as the engineers need to gain an understanding of how the car currently feels in order to alter the setup to suit different race tracks or weather conditions.

Will anyone put the fresh V8 Supercar off the track? Do you think that the young 17 year old can handle the 550 plus horsepower from the V8? Check out the episode below to find out!

why is it that there are only australians and new zealanders taking part in this show? No africans, indians , asians , lebs or any other part of multicultural Australia. Just true blue aussies. Ive always found this weird...

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
