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.

    • 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).
