Brisby I will be amazed if this other track ever gets built. I've been in the know about it for a while now and I just can't see it happening. It's supposed to be part of a full motorsport complex complete with track and skidpan but they always said the drag strip would be built first. But they also said the drag strip was going to be read LAST Xmas. So...

I've seen the plans and they were dated 2000.

It's a bit like the track being built in Bunbury W.A. that was supposed to host a round of the JGTC in Dec 2005. It still hasn't been built either.

I beleive all the complexes are lacking here, except for Phillip Island. I feel it's due to the amount of international coverage and income it brings to the state.

I like the DECA complex, as the roughness about it adds to it's enjoyment. Having said that, it's nowehere as bad as Calder.

that return road at Calder is a joke... need a 4wd to get back after a run

geez they would make a lot of money if they had the balls to make a motorsport superpark... stop messing around with dyno video games and do it for real...

Isn't it Izumida (D1 driver) who has his own track over in JP? imagine having a mate who owned his own motorsport park... I need to lie down now

Well

I hope they make something. Calder realllllly shits me.

If they make something like the Kwinana Motorplex, which I beleive is the best Dragstrip for both competitor and spectator- it will be a huge success.

Wednesday night off street racing, Friday night Drifting.

Ill be DOWN for that!

I was told the same thing over 12 months ago mate. As I said I was told It's going ahead and will be ready before Xmas - and that was last year. And yet you will not find a single scrap of media about this place. if it was really going ahead you would think there would be some form of media somewhere about it. Next time we catch up I'll tell you all the stuff I know.

just out of curiousity...how much would it cost to set up a motorsport park and wat sort of legalities need to be gotten out of the way?

Is it as simple as finding appopriate location, gaining permits and laying down the concrete/ashphalt?

cant wait till they start building it and then ppl start to complain so it gets put on hold and it just gets screwed around, then it gets finished, ten they start building housing near it, then the new residents complain about it then it ends up like calder :)

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.
