Didn't Canberra used to have a dragway near the airport?

Anyhow, if they are going to open a venue I'd like to see it as a 1/4 mile (not 1/8 please) track than can run any type of drag event.

MMMM Summernats drags :P

The old dragway was next to the airport, but it was an 1/8 mile instead of a 1/4 mile strip.

It's still there, though now it's used for stuff like engineering tests, brake/acceleration/handling etc

Where is it currently planned to be situated and is 8 million enough to build something like WSID.

I'd like to see it just outside the Prison near Jerra :P

Although it'd be cheaper just to have no traffic lights or speed limit down Northbourne

EDIT: Oooops the link above to the newsletter says Mount Majura is the proposed site.

WSID cost closer to $14 mill or 24? one or the other, but didnt the government put $8 mil now, another 8 next budget? surely $16 mil's enough to build something that can be improved upon?

Also, word on the street is that some of the "big boys" have said they'd rather come to canberra then syd

Wakefield isn't to far away for Track work.

To which I could retort with "WSID isn't too far away for a quick drag."

Explain to me why it is a tiny town like Goulburn gets a race track while we don't.....oh wait....we're the city of middle aged Public Servants. Can't have the GMC 400 now can we!

Sorry, I'm tired and cranky.

I agree - Canberra will die bcos of the narrow dull view of Canberrans.

We could host all major Australian events in all categories of sport and be the best city in this country. Instead we have boretown.

The Capital - between Sydney and Melbourne, Snow and Surf where in Australia could you find a better city to host events and draw big crowds.

Farkin Floriade - Wooot!! what a blast!

No

Because that's what people want.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
