Did anyone go? Anyone watch it?

I just got back from spending a couple of days up there and it was awesome.....

Gotta love the yobbos on the top of the hill..... pitty no women took them up on their "magic Carpet Ride" which consisted of a piece of carpet with a hole in it :P

The weather is ever changing.... sunny bottom, freezing top.... some good grid girls to look at and the new pits are awesome.....

I think ive set a new record... Cracked open a burbon and coke at 5AM.... was sitting with my mate in about -10 degrees in our good position on the main straight and it had to be done..... trust me at 5am the place was reasonably packed.....

Pitty about the result.. i was looking forward to seeing lowndsie up the top... it was a feat in itself getting that car to finish with missing front windscreen, rear windscreen and drivers window......(sports tonight to find out why)...

Sorry about the lack of layout in my post..... ive just got home after driving since 5 and had maybe 2hrs sleep last night.....

The bogans were blowing up stuff all night which shook cars and set off alarms in the surrounding streets :)

The "heated exchange" between Ambrose and Murphy was interesting....

I was half hoping that Murph would deck Ambrose when they had their little standoff after their incident. It would have served Ambrose right as he is the most arrogant piece of work going around in the series...can't say I felt sorry to see his car on the back of a tow truck either :)

Was a fairly good race overall, but I couldn't believe the amount of incidents that happened during the first half of the race. You would have thought it was a sprint race they way some of the drivers were acting.

Good to see the red car back at the front where it belongs :P

pff red car :P dont get me started.......

Everyone was yelling for them to deck each other it was awesome.....

This was a ford year..... i saw so many FPV cars on the way there, parked and way back and saw maybe 2 hsv's.. weird huh.....

Channel 10 missed both lowndes incidents... you would think that with so many cameras they would have captured it all.

How unlucky was lowndes and how luck was not to be hurt.... can be pretty nasty when a wheel goes through your window

Yea I was down there :D I had a seat just on the end of the main straight...looking up Mountain straight....was there at 4am....loads of people there too!

Great race...Good to see Skaife back on top

But damn! No bloody sleep....I was camped the back of a Volvo XC70 next to some bloody piromaniacs from Blacktown....Didnt sleep at all :P

But overall....top few days :blink:

it's a pity about Jim Richards and James Courtney... I was looking forward to seeing how Courtney would go.. he's a top driver

Top driver or not, I don't think Courtney will be getting a start in another AUS enduro any time soon - there's no excuse for fcking it up by trying to hard that early on in a 6 hour race. Plus he deprived us of the chance to see Jimmy on the track!

I would have liked to see Lowndes win (yep, I'm a secret Ford Fan from way back). The first mistake was his fault, but the tyre through the windscreen was the worst bit of bad luck I've seen since Jimmy's visit from Skippy last Bathurst!

Also nice to see Ambrose come unstuck - I used to be a fan but his arrogance this year has been astounding! Murphy's not much further up that food chain, so I guess it couldn't have happened to two more deserving blokes!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
