Explains why they're trying to kill off the 12 hour.

Typical suprecrap form, kill off all forms of motorsport other than their own sh!t show.

re the GTR, there was an article a month or so back, where heads of Nissan pretty much said that they have no interest in cheapening the GTR's image, by having it race in this category.

Completely agree with them to, Its currently running across the globe against supercars, and having it in this series against commodores would be a huge step backwards for it image wise.

+1.

Good to hear that.

Didn't know they were against the 12 hour?

V8 Supercars? Definitely are. They are against anything competing with them and have done everything they can to stop any form of motorsport thats not part of their show.

Its why next year they have the Eastern Creek test, scheduled on the same day as the 12hour weekend, and due to contracts with Supercars, drivers like Rick Kelly must be at the test, and now cannot drive in the 12hr.

The fact that they're moving to a multi car type / engine grid now makes sense why they're doing this, as it will compete directly with the 12hour, will just be for cheaper cars and shitterer (yes its a word :) )

Does that mean no more live streaming of the 12hr? Sounds like if you want to watch any motorsport, you'll have to get pay TV if V8's have their say.

It'll be streamed and channel 7 will be broadcasting the whole event on 7mate for 2015. Cool eh?

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.

      Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds

      Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.

      Wheel refurb?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
