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!

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
