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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
