333pg333 Posted 4April, 2013 Report Share Posted 4April, 2013 This is for mostly road cars that aren't allowed to run under 2:40 around Mt Panorama. For some they have to slow down in parts but for others they can just about go flat out and others can't make that mark. I think under those conditions I'd almost rather be in a slower car.

Mark Bloxham / Modified 2.5L '86 944 turbo (not sure why this isn't embedding?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatSix Posted 5April, 2013 Report Share Posted 5April, 2013 Great vids! Anyone know what the purpose of the rope from shifter to cage in the 964 is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs11 Posted 5April, 2013 Report Share Posted 5April, 2013 Great vids! Anyone know what the purpose of the rope from shifter to cage in the 964 is? My guess is to prevent shifter going across to reverse, not good on Conrod Straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatSix Posted 5April, 2013 Report Share Posted 5April, 2013 So an RSR gearbox uses a different layout to road cars? my reverse is left and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know which box is used in an RSR, but a 915 gearbox has reverse lower right. There's a spring loaded gate to prevent shifting between 5th an R. Maybe this RSR had a problem with that.

FlatSix Posted 5April, 2013 Report Share Posted 5April, 2013 I'm sure it wouldn't have a 915 box in it, as all 964's (even the RS) use the G50. The rope makes sense for a 915 but it should not have one :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
333pg333 Posted 5April, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 5April, 2013 It's a 1994 car so it would definitely be a G50 of some sorts. If I remember I'll ask him when I see him next. Think he'll be down at Wakefield this weekend with the PCNSW but not in this car. He runs a modified 944 S2 which now has a trick 968 motor installed. Should be quite quick. This car did a 1:43 around Eastern Creek on slicks with the old motor in it so it's no slouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasserkuhl Posted 5April, 2013 Report Share Posted 5April, 2013 The Gearbox is definitely a G50, the cord is a small washing line to dry your pants out on after you have soiled them on cold rubber(first corner). Wicked cars. Thanks for the upload! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

333pg333 Posted 5April, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 5April, 2013 I think there is a bit of fishing line that we can't see on the end of that string. It's attached to Chris' wallet so it doesn't get lost under race pace. He's got a lot of nice cars in his collection. The other thing that I found noticeable is that due to the 2:40sec cuttoff time for this event the faster cars are having to slow down to make sure they don't go under this curfew. Apparently you get 1 or 2 warnings and then black flagged for the weekend. In the video that I can't seem to embed of Mark Bloxam's laps, he could go quite a few seconds faster but is close to that time. Whereas Tim in his '83 SC is just about flat out and to be honest, it looks more fun. It would be very frustrating to be getting into your groove each lap and having to watch the clock for fear of penalty. Shame they can't lower that time even just 5 or 10 seconds.
