That is good news!!!

As much as I hate the mexicans, I'm glad that Winton picked up the property!!!

At least we can be semi sure it's going to remain a race track!

don't be so sure......u never know, the gay mexicans might wanna build up some housing development for their empoverished people

I am quite happy to speak on behalf of Winton, the race track will stay a race track. It will be business as usual, Winton and WP have shared the same racing philosophies for years.

Winton (and now WP) is owned by Benalla Auto Club, just an ordinary fairly conservative RURAL car club like many others around Australia, this is not a bunch of corporate raiders

Their belief is to bring AFFORDABLE motorsport back to the people, to take control of their own destiny.

You wil be happy with the ownership and the way the place is managed.

Oran Park has already been sold from what I've heard.

It's in the contract to leave them there for another 2 years I think it is, and he's basically being forced out by the government, due to complaints.

Ahhh, the Government. Close racetracks across Australia, then complain and take knee-jerk measurements to curb the road-toll and number of injuries suffered on our roads...

Maybe if they implemented COMPULSORY DRIVER TRAINING and utilised the facilities already available to us, then we would have better drivers (in general), lower the road-toll of injuries and fatalities, and (OK, it's a long shot, but here it goes) reduced insurance premiums!

Oh well, at least Wakefield is staying with us for some time...

One of the upgrades at Wakefield Park in the next 12 months will be the resurfacing of the 2.2km track with a hotmix surface which will be beneficial to the many different motor sport disciplines which compete at Wakefield Park.

Thats allways good to hear.ive allways thought,as i suppose allot of people have,that wakefield could do with a resurface.

thats so true...

They should do what the americans do.and that is make driver training compulsory in high school.

Yeah I love how they build houses near OP and then the people move in there, knowing full well there is a racetrack next door, then they complain about the noise and it gets shut down.

It's the same thing with live music in the city. People move in next door to a pub that has been open for 100 years and playing live music for 30 then have the hide to complain about the noise and drunk people. Then crazily the governments place massive restrictions on the pubs and they are forced out.

grumble grumble

Someone correct me if I'm wrong,,,,but I don't remember OP being closed because of noise. From my understanding OP was sold for no other reason than housing.

Why resurface WP,,,that would only take all the caracter(spelling?) out of the place. If you can't handle the bumps going into the lead-on then learn to sort your car out better. Please leave the track as it is.

Hot mix the southern and northern pit areas instead. Another idea would be to roof the pit lane crew area,,, it gets bloody hot and cold for the poor fools pitting.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
