no need to sign it nemore guys, it has been confirmed lakeside is beeing re-opened as a historic and club racing circuit....

Where can I read about this re-opening ???

I have read the EOI and it looked to me like just another step in the process of closing it down, the existing site reports contained in the document indicated to me that sh*tloads of money would need to be spent to make it a viable option to re-open

I want it open .. only 10 minutes up the road from my place

I didn't know the EOI was part of the condition of an agreement with QLD Heritage Council to have Lakeside's Heritage protection removed until I looked into it further. I thought the EOI was as Council stated - looking for interested parties to run the facility for the communities use.

This is the actual state of affairs at the moment, and it's not terribly promising:

The QHC (QLD Heritage Council) made an agreement with PRSC (Pine Rivers Shire Council) in the Planning and Environment Court of QLD, to deregister Lakeside Raceway from the Heritage Listing in order to help PRSC find a suitable use for this site with the community.

There were a number of conditions to this agreement, including a deadline for PRSC to seek expressions of interest from the comunity as to its future use. That has happened now, and PRSC have until the 29th of March to advise QHC in writing of the outcome of the EOI process. So we will soon hear more about it from QHC and/or LMRE (lakeside MOtor Racing Enthusiasts).

There is unfortunately no commitment in the agreement from PRSC to actually take any action after the EOI, to actually give the community the use of the facility as per the spirit of the agreement. And the site is only protected until May 2010 at this stage.

So any re-opening is by no means guaranteed, and wether it would include motorsport use if it does re-open is also not guaranteed.

:P

ill stand by my comment im sorry you guys dont believe me but there is no reason y i would lie or post up bs information.

They are in the final stages and all they basically have left to do is decide on a tender to run the track. I have my sources take what u like from that.

maybe you should have a read of the agreement PRSC signed with QHC in the Planning and Environment Court. This was the outcome of PRSC appealing the heritage listing of Lakeside.http://www.lakesideraceway.com/p&e_court_agreement.htm

Yes there was an EOI which just closed, but that was a requirement of this agreement PRSC signed to get Lakeside off the Heritage Register. They HAD to do it to achieve their goal of getting the protection lifted from the site. Now that they have done that, there is absolutely nothing binding PRSC to do anything more than that, apart from advise the QHC of the outcome of the EOI process by 29th of March.

I hope you are right and that it is about to re-open, but the fact is PRSC bought the place to shut it down, and have never even showed any interest, let alone made any commitment, to re-opening it for motorsport.

Call me a cynic, but I think now that PRSC have completed their obligations under the agreement, and have won their appeal to have Lakeside removed from the Heritage register, they can get on withthe business of closing the place down. And in 4 years time they can take the bulldozers in.

I know a few people around the place on CAMS State Council, in PRSC, in the Historic Racing Car Club etc, and I haven't heard any rumours of this re-opening being imminent.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
