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.

also, miguele:

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

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
