Bought a video of the 1992 Bathurst Race off ebay, and got it in the mail today. I Just finished watching it (2 Hours of highlights). What a race! The 2 Winfield GTR's and the GIO GTR hammered along the track along with the Sierras! Poor old Falcons and Commodores got well left behind. That race is truly the best I've seen yet, especially when you see the rain bucketing down and the GTR driving on through it unharmed while the rear wheel drive Commo's lose it in the wet. Probably the best part is the ending when the storm comes through. Jim Richards hits the wall in his No. 1 Winfield Gibson GTR, and ends up in a pile up with a Sierra, a Commo and a Corolla. You can even get a glimpse of an HR31 Skyline GTS-R hooning past! Skaife and Richards definitely deserved being awarded 1st after the race was called off prematurely because of the torrential rain. Shame the V8 fans didnt like it, but as Richards said, "You're a pack of arseholes"

cheers, MARK

DivX??? Hey Ronin, where'd u find that??? cos i'm pretty new to Skylines, and all the models, i didn't even realise that they had the GTR's running all those years back...

anyways, Ronin, if you would be so kind to point me in the direction where these DivX's are at, i would really appreciate it. I got cable, so it shouldn't be too bad.

get in contact with my via ICQ: 46693635 and I'll be happy to send them to you :)

I'll be on ICQ tonight but make sure that when you request authorisation you tell me who you are cause I automatically ignore the standard message one's (too much spam man sorry) :P

4WD's, turbo's and Rotaries, all too competitve to the V8's so they are now banned from racing.

As much as I enjoy watching bathurst I think a two make racing series is a bit boring.... I'd like to see other manufacurers in the race, doesn't mean they have to allow turbos etc back they can still all run V8's but allow other body shells and manufacturers to enter...

There have been rumours of both Mitsubishi and Toyota looking at running is supercars, but I don't see them making the sort of investment you need to catch up with Holden. Would be interesting if Ford pulled out due to lack of results though.

The Future Tourer series run common v8s in pretty much any bodyshell - the v8 magna is doing well, there are also commodores and falcons running around. I think BMW were also considering this one.

this sort of thing really $HIT$ me. bl##dy stupid V8 fans and the like being put in there place by a jap car. so what do they do?? ban them from the race and stop them from competing. if they were allowed to compete imagine what would have happened. Batherst would have been dominated by the GTRs decimating the dunnydores and Falcons. Every one would see that V8s are dinosours and that forced induction is the future. people start buying these amazing totaly revolutionaty performence cars.

Suddenly nissan australia sees what everyone else has seen on this fourm, and its like they were born again! the CEO cancels all the shippments of pulsars and patrols and orders a million GTRs!!!

they all sell in the frist day of there relese, so he orders another million then another million until 8/10 cars in australia is a GTR.

aahhhh *cough* excuse me i started day dreaming again. back to the topic - V8s SUCK:D :P

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
