Yeh, really looking forward to seeing what the AMGs look like. Combination of Kelly Racing not having Murphy in their ranks. rather horrible looking cars with ho-hum drivers well ... its no Farmer Fury in a DR30!

Sad panda :(

The DVS ride of casey stonner's has arrived. It's actually an ex lowdnes chassis though it was originally said to be an ex whincup chassis.

Roland sold the chassis about 12 months ago and bought it back to run stonner in this season.

Good to see Aaron Tebbs running at the test in an ex Kelly racing VE, the car his testing arrived at the workshop literally in milk crates and on pallets only 5-6 weeks ago, credit to him to get the car assembled so quickly. Hopefully he can step up from national touring cars into DVS this year.

Old mate policina has netted himself a current spec car too Duncan. Running it from armourmotorsport in DVS, his come along way from the old combined touring days with virag and loscapio.

I'm not a v8's guy. Was horrified to learn of Stoner joining the series - a rider of his quality joining an (in my opinion) horribly boring series.

BUT then I remembered the new cars joining, Nissan's entry and next year (I think) the AMG's joining and my interest has been re-invigorated. So, I will watch for the first time in a long time this year, hoping, praying to jeebus that we finally have a decent world-class race series.

God knows, the MotoGP will not be the same this year. :( :(

You do realise that in the DVS there are no Nissans or AMG's dont you?

Not sure quite what Stoner will get out of a year in the development series - their cars are fundamentally different to drive than the COTF.

Hmmm, didn't realise he was only joining the dev series. :(

Been a long time coming for me, but here is the 2013 E63 AMG from Erebus Motorsports. Started working with Erebus early last year in developing the initial concept behind the AMG V8 Supercar, and the early development of the aero package.

^ congrats dude, the cars look stunning. Really hope they and Nissan mix it with Ford and Holden. I'm actually quite pumped for this year and will def get out to races in NSW.

Haven't watched a race on telly for years let alone been out to one, but can't wait now.

Cheers has been great working with the team and the cars, been nearly 12 months since i started on the designs!! and has been quite fun watching all the debate on will they wont they ect :-D

good luck this year, you must be stoked with what the team are doing. I understand there's some senior guys with a mile of experience in the category coming on board too.

and while I'm at it, well done with the B12H victory last weekend too...great way to start the year

Unfortunately i don't work full time with the team so was sitting in Adelaide watching the race online, was a great result to see, good for the team to step up and get the good result prior to starting in V8's... the base team has had success over the years, Betty's first team won the Aussie F3 series and competed in Asia as well

so.... Bernd Schneider for Enduro driver after B12 hr stints?

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
