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 :)

      If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?

      Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.
