weather is even worse at wakefield remember.....

300 days hired per year * $2k = 600k per year income. Then consider operating costs - multiple staff, maintenance each year (track and grounds), insurance. The business is not worth $8mil to my eyes

You need to add the revenue from;

the CAMS State rounds 2 per year = $80K

the CAMS National rounds = $50K

the Historic State rounds 3 per year = $60K

the Historic National rounds 1 per year = $40K

the V8 development series round =$100K

You would want at least a 3% return on your investment after interest and tax (+ property always has capital gains)

$8M X 3% = $240K - Maybe

$12M X 3% = $360K - No chance

$15M X 3% = $450K - I don't think so Tim.

:laugh: cheers :)

I'm a definite!!!!

Won't be able to give the car a good thrashing at this stage... but will be able to putt around for a few laps.

dunno about overnight yet..... got some pretty festive Melbourne Cup happenings on the tuesday :happy: but we will see.

theres a open practice day at wakefield on the 21st of october (saturday) if anyone is interested..? me and some of the ACT boys are going for a blat. just thought i'd let you all know incase you wanna 'brush up' for the day of battle!!! HA!

He he - state of origin... funny

Can any of you guys actually drive? Put your hand up if your faster than Troy!

:hand up:

troy couldn't drive a greasy stick up a dog's ar$e. and besides that he is a NSW boy through and through, dont you hombres try and rob him off his roots.

at least scotsman has a real car not like those other southern belles with their pansy a55 R34s etc.

disclaimer: all my above comments may be completely untrue. it may in fact be me that can't drive.

Can't wait, JP tells me all GTR's in NSW are bling cars..

Is there anyone in NSW with a GTR attending this 'state of origin'?

I here that only GTS-T's go to these track days....

Is JP talking crap? Apparently nothing comes close to the Zed!! :ninja:

yeah hopefully we can drag Jason along his car goes OK. But it is a long standing and well known rule that gtrs lose their powers in NSW and get beaten by GTSts.

BTW Liz drives like a girl.

*shugs* could be the magnetic lines of the earth?

You coming along Chris? There are some great spots to spin out at high speeds in NSW like turn 11 at Wakefield and turn 6/7 at Eastern Creek :angry:

How can you spin at turn 11 if the track only has 10 turns you weirdo?

I was known to spin at turn 9 once or twice (or even 7 times) on my only visit there. :angry:

Infact Scotsman and I are the Spin Kings. Here's our efforts in the recent Dutton Vic at Winton. We'll be sure to bring these skillz up with us to NSW.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
