But it also why I don;t watch it anymore.

look at LMP1

you can have petrol, diesel, different forms of hybrids, different driven wheels, (yes we still love you NIsmo no matter how much crack you smoking)

and technology from it trickles down into road cars most recently the laser lighting system from AUDI.

either that for the FIA GT3 championship where the cars are still based on the factory ones.

oh and bathurst...cos beer.

yeah its much more exciting.

the 2 national level sports sedan series are 2-3 seconds faster at sandown than Carrera GT3 and V8 SC. and theyre basically budget motorsport compared to those teams (well, not budget, but almost grassroots really)

what are the national level sports sedan series?

Thought CAMSpulled their national standing?

i dunno anymore. theres the Kerrick National Sports Sedans Series and used to be another one, Victorian Sports Sedan Series. which is basically the sandown and winton rounds im pretty sure.

Sports sedans is stilla series but not a championship (no idea difference) but for the rest Yeah they all been given the flick as a "national series"

http://autoaction.com.au/cams-announcement/

cams basiclly Fked every-one who did not have a million to run a team.

they now to be State championships not national but all linked.

confusing and stupid really.

good comments here:

hmmmm.

im not sure how it should be done. but it seems that other than time attack and drifting, motorsport doesnt seem to be increasing in popularity or exposure or participation. its nice to see some new cars and victorian track backs in the V8 SC calendar though.

Fined because he breached "Safety" protocol by doing a burnout on the track in front of the grand stand...

Are they forgetting that he was on the track, the spot that 5 minutes earlier he drove over the same patch of asphalt at 250km/h?

I can somewhat see the logic.

there are still ppl racing for places so travelling at 200+ km over that patch, add in a heap of smoke and an unknown car, could go bad.

BUT..

considering every fan wants to see that, and that the only time he in front of the main crowd, plus I'm sure he pulled to the side and did it not just doing donuts in the middle, a quiet reminder that it is to be done after turn 1 would be more than enough.

ideally they should be encouraging a bit of showmanship after the finish to keep the human in the sport, every-one is on radios anyhow.

eg more of this...(NSFW comments)

and less PR planned stuff.

its not like he stopped on the finishline and did a skid... he would have passed the line as fast as everyone else and then slowed down/stopped. he was pulled over to the racecourse side of the track (not on the race line). and its not like he was sitting there doing an easternats level of smoke.

Bring back the land of "she'll be right"

Sick of bureaucratic safety and OH&S generally f**king up more lives than it saves

To quote Krusty I think the survivors would envy the dead

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
