the local paper said it was announced earlier in the week that the management rights to Lakeside Raceway has been given to QR. So while I don't think that's the best result for club motorsport in the reigon - QR have basically priced their track out of the reach of Sporting Car Clubs to run events on Weekends so they can run Sprints themselves and pocket the profits - it will at least mean we'll get access to the circuit again, and state level racing should be back on the calendar for Lakeside. I can't believe it after all the years its been closed! Best news I've heard in a long time! But the track and the facilities are only protected until 2010 under the deal done by PRSC and the QLD Heritage Council, so we may not have all that long to enjoy it - once May 2010 comes around, council can move in with the bulldozers if they want to.

I shouldn't have sold my IPRA Datsun... may have to build another car to get out there and race while the opportunity is there. and there is a HR30 coupe in the carport doing nothing...

Yeh tetley told us about it a few weeks ago at the last Top gear at QR. Said hopefully by may next year we will be racing there doing sprints and proper racing again. Im not fussed over who got the rights to it, the fact that there is now another track going to be available to race on is awesome and so close to. Running at just QR and MP can get abit mundane unless you want to travel further. All in all its excellent news.

Im looking forward to it. Its only 10 mins away from work here at Brendale.....hooray :)

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
