I headed up to Mount Panorama today to watch a bit of this years 12 hour, thought I would post up some photos that I took up there. The race is still going at the moment, can watch it on a livestream here: http://new.livestrea.../bathurst12hour

Got home not long ago and was an awesome weekend. Camping behind the pits in last nights storms was, well, interesting to say the least, but all part of the fun :)

Can't wait till next year.

Heaps more people this year compared to last, especially on the Friday so hopefully it just gets bigger and bigger each year.

The sounds those 458's make are truly unbelievable and the Merc's sound so effortless.

Hopefully we'll get an R35 GT3 car next year.

The only down side was the support races need to lift their game. Way to many incidents and at one stage yesterday went through 3 categories and a few hours without a lap being run in anger. All under safety car.

Yeah it gets a bit wild up there during the storms.

The Mercs and the 458's sounded insane! I'll post up some more pics soon, including some from standing on the GWS Motorsports (the BMW 335 and the 2 130's) pit wall.

is it me or the promotion of the event was a little low key? There was nothing on OS websites....not a lot of local talk. I really only knew as my housemate was up their doing photography for a few sites/magazines.

This should be one of the biggest things on the Aus calendar. Great cars, range of teams and budgets...good racing. Various classes. Looking forward to watching the highlights on SBS

Rumors are a guy in W.A. has purchased one. Not sure if the plan is to do B12 in it however or what his plans are but it does bring hope.

I spent most of Sunday watching the stream and it's confirmed my desire to do it.

One day....

Yeah, I didn't see any advertisement for it at all. Although, from what the commentators on the day were saying, they had close to 10k spectators this year, which is more than last year, so I guess people are finding out about it. It would be nice for at least a few hours of it to be aired live on one of the major networks though, rather than having to wait a few weeks for highlights to be televised

  • 2 weeks later...

there was a fair bit of TV promotion in country NSW when I was up there for the event, and a solid crowd over the three days. The Radio Le Mans guys as well as Richard Craill did a great job commentating the action between the safety cars too. Snowy, 2014/15 campaign in the 35? All you need to do is keep the wheels from falling off like Alfords car and your in with a chance.

I did a write up for Speedhunters you can check out here.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
