Yesterday the nissans on the new fuel smashed qualifying. Today they are back to their usual mid pack results and the Kelly boys were comparable on times. Maybe there was something in the claims of performance from the new fuel. Have to wait and see how they go in the race. But I certainly find it a bit suss....

yeah agreed....although they went to the trouble yesterday to point out they were still 1-2% down on top speed compared to the falcodores yesterday (a lot on a small track). But that doesn't mean there wasn't a gain in the midrange somewhere.



ultimately supercars is a parity formula, so there will be adjustments to different cars at times. And the cars that get the adjustments will be happy, and the ones that don't will have a sook

lame dancer is lame.

BTW they were 5th and 8th again this afternoon until about 3 laps to go (they didn't pit for tyres and lost a few spots to the cars that did). So the speed poorer today, but not by an order of magnitude

Since when does E70 make more power than E85? It is an economy argument, not a power argument. The data traces showed no gain anyway. Aside from that the rest of the teams signed off on it so what are they whinging about?

Anyway was nice seeing Moffat junior taking the piss out of his choked up old man on the tv on Sunday.

Good on them for

A: Winning

B: Hosing the Kelly's.

Yeah the traces didn't show much, but they were both from quali laps, which doesn't show as much of the story as the race data. But if the economy was better then they could've gotten gains from running less fuel at the start of the lap.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
