Hey guys just a heads up the v8s are racing at eastern creek for the first time this year on the 16th. Entry is free and it will sport the Nissans showing what they can do.

Im heading up with a few mates. Keen to see them in action.

rofl at all the v8 supercar haters that now all of a sudden show an interest because a couple of the cars have a nissan badge and motor :)

Think you'll find the majority of us love watching the V8 Supercars :thumbsup:

Was an alright morning of track time. Took about 45mins just to get from the GWH to the parking area and i'm very surprised that it is free (even a gold coin donation for a local charity would be good).

888 - pretty calm, apart from the redbull livery you wouldn't think it was any different to 2012.

Erebus - look and sound amazing, they have a very different sound to the Holden/Fords and from a distance actually sound like a superbike riding around, under heavy downshifting they sound hot!!

Kellys - Well it has a Nissan badge....ugly looking frontend had an engine problem coming out of the last corner and the crowd cheered.

BJR - Fastest laps of the morning, probably just actually doing more of a fast lap than actually doing testing so wouldn't take much notice of it.

HRT - same as 888 just rolling around doing laps, no real different to 2012.

Plenty of cars and transporters without livery (guessing they havent secured sponsors because it doesn't take long to vinyl wrap a transporter). I'm very surprised that almost no 2013 merchandise was available (nissan had a small stand, bought a shirt and cap) but the other teams were just hocking off last years stuff. Teams really need to step up on the merchandise and corporate type area of the pit paddock like the F1/Nascar series do.

head to sydney.

then come on putty rd cruise.

meeting at windsolr at 9:30.

should be a good day.

its in nsw events section.

much more exciting than watching cars go round and round.

    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all. 
    • Ok. What is the go to transmission upgrade that can handle some abuse with around 700nm at the hubs? Must be quiet gears as the car is being street used.
