Yeah it was mentioned at the last Berri Car Show - tho even if it goes ahead you do realize its a 3-4 hour drive from Adelaide ;\

And a 3-4 hour drive to any decent hospital for the more serious drag entrants attending :)

on the bright side you could visit the big orange while ya there

Jess your kidding right

no one in there right mind will take there car up there what if you break something

not to mention its a 1/4 the drive to melboure take half a tank of juice to get there just to watch some drags screw that for a joke them if drags finish at 11 you still have a 2-3hr drive home not cool when your already tired

Well could go camping or something there make a weekend of it, but deff not as a regular thing people would go to.

could you imagine the drive home though, 50 odd drag cars cruising along hmmmz

well theyd prob have enough of it and be tired

Hey Jess when i was working in one of the pub i used to work in i was speaking to a family about this (would be at least 3 years ago). there is already an 1/8th mile track up there and they are trying to get it extended to a full 1/4 miletrack. The father of the family was part of the drag racing commitee up there and he said that it was going to cost around the $750,000 to get it extended.

I also have heard some VERY good information about the proposed motorsport park from the brother of one of the members of the consortium, there will be an anouncement in the not to distant furture, AND WE ARE GOING TO LIKE IT.

riverland is a joke

elaborate a lil for us :(

i heard from my sisters cousins mother that lives out there (who all happen to be the same person) that it was going to be a tractor/ride on mower draggin facility.

just messing :P 1/8 mile, how much would 4wd's spank competition there

I was just passing on info :(

It is nice to have choice and maybe SA is finally stepping in the right direction...Like his interstate brothers

See what happens..

I have traveled 8 hrs to do an event from Sydney to Shepparton just for the thrill and fun of it for a weekend away...Loved every minute of it

I have also emailed AMC again as I am trying to get information on a tentative date for AIR opening..

AND WE ARE GOING TO LIKE IT.

c'mon Dale, you tell us, make the neccesary phone calls!

lol Dan, does she play a banjo and howl at the moon too

Just because we love all new information, and no I don't have the pictures mentioned in this passage or writing lol...

Stolen from calaisturbo.com.au which stole it from some other forum I don't know.

the new billboard has been installed due to the new bridge that is being constructed as part of the northern expressway project. that road will become a dead end and the houses that are there have been purchased to be demolished, aswell as a large portion of land around the scrutineering area inside the track. the new entrance will actually be from the opposite side of the raceway with larger improved parking facilities??

i have walked the entire circuit today and snapped some pics on the phone camera. with the approval of the track manager of course who was extremely friendly and quite informative to me. we spent a good 20 mins chatting about when the likely date will be to re-open (yes the million dollar question!!) i can tell you there is a fresh 1340 feet of asphalt which looks a treat! relatively flat with no major cracks through it as was posted a few months back. however that is all that has been done! there is a step up of around 2" from the burnout pad onto the track itself and the same at the deep end. the area from the finish line on has sections missing and the return track has been completely dug up (rubble down waiting for asphalt).

it is anticipated that within the next 2-3 months work will re-commence inside the track once the expressway work is done and racing WILL return shortly after. they are sick to death of doing nothing out there and yes they all read the internet forums and know what's being said about them so action is underway.

Thanks.

Pictures like these by chance. Taken about a month ago by a good mate.

All this talk makes me angry, if I dont think about it then I don't get mad... Easier to just let that fat cvnt do what hes going to do and see how it goes, no point speculating.

Yeah Blob Jane will just sit on it till he drops off the perch, then it'll get sold off and turned into housing or something.

Obviously he doesn't see it as being very profitable hence the taking the time getting it ready. I would be a bit hesitant to dump s loads of money into it as well. I'm under the impression it wasn't a gold mine previously, if it was it would be finished by now. who would be saying no take ya time fixing that guys i dont want to make money. There weren't that many people there the few times I went maybe enough to make a small profit but nothing spectacular.

do you single handed hold bob lame responsible for a whole buisness shutting the doors, id say attendance was an issue along with other factors.

but i dont attend there board meetings so i wouldnt know

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
