just got given some info from the gold coast bulletin about the future of the V8s' at indy..

they need to upgrade the pit area to allow enough room for the number of cars in the championship now! if this upgrade is not done then the V8s will have to be removed from the bill...

they are asking poeple to answer this question:

"Do you support a new pit area on Macintosh island to keep the V8 Supercars at indy?"

All you have to do is SMS yes or no, or provide a comment under 25 words,and SMS it to: 0416905147

you can email your opinion to [email protected]

the problem they are facing is its a park and they need to remove trees (2%) 30 trees in total, it will mean more parking for the area and the V8s' will run at indy in the future.

if you like to go to indy and see the V8s' then let them know!!

Thanks, Matt....

i think they should scrap the V8's and get the amature race/cruise community of the gold coast to replace them..............

the pit stop can be any macca's carpark and bonus points are awarded to neon's and all maner of rice. bonus points for chrome should be awarded on a 'per meter squared' basis. also, however many people you have in your car acts as a points multiplyer. ie, 2 people in the car means 2X points, 4 people means 4X points..............

hell i'll buy a ticket to watch that................at least they'll still drive like nutter in the rain :cheers:

lol you might be onto something there paladin.

But on a serious note there are more then enough hi-powered import/v8/exotics around here to put on a few good races and would compliment the indy cars nicely.

Inexperianced drivers with no race licenses in performance cars racing eachother would make for good spectator/tv viewing but I’m not sure whoever runs the show would like it :cheers:

maybe some time trials?

PS v8's should be there but only if they race after the indycars so they get rained on for a change :ghost:

Well I would have to say I enjoy the V8 supercars more than the Indys... Having been to both Indy and Bathurst numerous times, I can say the V8's provide a much more physical and interesting race... They are nowhere near as fast as the Indy's but definately more involving...

IMO

I'm with strutto, i'm a dedicated V8 supercar fan and watch every race and always attend the QLD 500 (or 300 now). I go to indy for the V8's, the champ cars are pretty cool but if there was no V8's i wouldn't go.

SMS sent!

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
