Ok

Time to start the annual Bathurst thread!

Who is going to the mountain?

Who is doing what?

Me - stonkered drunk as per usual.

Now, the real question...

Who are your top 3 teams? You can also have a wild card team too.

Me - haven't thought that far but always have Murph!

Lowndes and Richo are in my 3. Just need 2 more lol

so you are expecting most of the first 10 cars to crash out with the 2 Volvos only suffering minor suspension damage, where they can continue racing, but with reduced pace?

I second that.

How well did the Frenchy go! I think some time away and this new car suits him.

If I was to go for a Holden it would be jamie and if I had to go for a ford it would be lost-it haha

And for the Merc's I just hope they make the top ten and finish for Betty.

For the actual day I will be in front of a TV somewhere, heavily with beer :-)

Hard to think anyone other than Whincup will win. In fact I think I will put the rent money on it. The odds of them having a better car set up than anyone else are unbackable.

Which is not to say that I want 888 to win anything ever again.

Of the other hopes it all depends if they can get their cars tuned to be quick late in the day
McLaughlin, Giz and Frosty are all in the same boat. FPR may be the best chance of beating the 888 team but they have all lost their way lately.

HRT have come good but Sandown isn't Bathurst although they have loads of horse powers judging from the last time out which never hurts. If Murph can keep it of the wall and Courtney not screw up maybe - but it is less likely than Tander driving well and pulling a result out of nothing.

Nissan, Benz - forget it. Same for anyone else too.

Can the co driver compete in the top ten shoot out? If so I wonder if Murf will steer?

Yes a co-driver can but he has to be the one thats puts the car in the top 10 in the 1st place from memory.

I'm hoping Wincup and Coldarse fight it out at the end again like last year.

Jamie is by far the best tin top driver in Australia at the moment and he loves R32 GTR's so he's cool in my books. Davy Reynolds would have to be my 3rd pick,,,he's a great driver a smartarse and who doesn't like a smartarse in racing. Taking the piss out of dirt-bag Lowndes was some funny shit.

Mandatory pit stops will kill any hope of Nissan/Betty's/Vulva's hopes,,,all 3's bad fuel economy will make their lives a misery all day.

Cheers

Neil.

Thought the Volvos were ok for fuel? Would not be unhappy if Gary Rogers pulled it off.

And yes Reynolds actually has a personality, unlike most of the others. Although when Moffat channels his old mans rage he is good value in front of the camera.

Watching that Legends series reminded why Mezera is one of my all time fav tin top drivers. Such a shame I couldnt care less about 98% of the grid as it stands as they are all hollow pieces of media trained fluff. Murphy is about the only guy I will support.... and what Nissan and co are doing for next years test day clash with the 12hr gives me more reason to dislike the series and the teams

Must have been 91 which has him (on Wikipedia) in a Perkins build Mobil 1 Commodore DNFing on lap 61.

Found it on youtube. Wasn't a slap just Larry trying to rip his helmet off because he couldn't hear. 1.08.30 in.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
