Change the front of the car so that it resembles a falcodore more so than an Altima?

it seems the Kelly boys might have done the smart thing and picked a 'slippery' car and the aussie cars having a sook as they shaped like bricks. Commodone and falcon should be trying to make the new model cars more sleek

No one is sooking yet

It's always been known that supercars would be doing CFD parity testing.

I believe from people I speak to regularly that the large teams who have fallen away this year will be the front runners come next year. They have put their best engineers forward into the COtF instead of running current cars

Tekno apparently had revised 888 uprights at the 600 and move up the field, still developing an old platform, relying on 888 for their COTF chassis.

888 have concentrated on the title this year, question will be have they sacrificed some COTF development to be at the front in 2012....

No doubt Roland's juggernaut will be at the top of the tree in no time come 2013 but you do wonder if the COTF program suffers at all due to current events.

HRT have sucked arse all year, have they shifted focus from 2012 to 2013.......

Current VE and FG's are far from bricks. They have very strict splitter angles and undertray designs that must be adhered to. No doubt the Kelly cars will be assisted or hindered depending on CFD results.

It was put out there right at the start of the COTF announcement that all new cars / body's will be independently aero tested for parity prior to the 2013 season.

Clipsal Launch at Vic Park next friday from 12 - 1.30pm

Itis not like 888 have any shortage of resources. The joy of having bazillions of dollars in sponsorship is you dont have to chose between development paths. You just do all of them and see which works better.

well given that the commodore gets cut in half and widened by 10cm or so to make it meet current regulations, yeah.

Troubles in the T888 camp

The Red Bull Racing team for next year has one of its drivers in a contract to Monster!!

Was at the Clipsal Launch yesterday with the Erebus boys, whose role was rather disappointing with the SLS doing 1/2 a lap of the temporary track where no spectators were only to park.

Ken Block for on track entertainment every day, KISS & Motley Crue in concert on the Friday night

I was surprised to see they let Courtney and Davidson do some laps with each other around the temporary circuit ( at a reasonable speed) in just shorts T Shirt and no Helmet. If anything had happened that would have been a legal nightmare! All stemming from Courtney having to fill in for a sick Tander at the last minute and Courtney refusing to wear someone elses helmet and racing suit, which is understandable but Shit hapens

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
