Came across this website today.

http://www.bunburyic.com.au/

the circuit section says the track is going to be starting in late 05 - funny enough nothing has happened there. The FIA GT has now been added to the tracks list of categories that will be running. This is the first thing i have heard about the track and am trying to figure out why Stephan Ratel would be sigining his GT's up to a track that doesn't exist yet? Also the Super GT's are listed as a category coming to the track.

Is this still track still being built or is the website being update to "keep the dream alive?"

sorry if this is old news

There is thread on the subject in the WA section. The short answer to your questions are as follows (to the best of my knowledge):

The circuit promoters have actually bought the land.

They are supposedly developing a business park to generate the cashflow/capital to build the circuit.

The periodic announcements that a race will be held this year (there have been atleast three such announcements) are complete rubbish.

Work on the circuit has not progressed in any meaningful way.

The website will be updated very infrequently (the haven't even fixed the spelling mistake on the front page FFS)

Any linkage between the circuit & the race series listed is, overwhelmingly, in the minds of the promoters. CAMS recently tipped an absolute bucket on them for telling people formula Nippon was happening this year. Not without CAMS/FIA approval, boys.

Most people in Bunbury have developed a healthy degree of cynicism regarding the circuit.

In short, there is a small chance it may get up, but don't hold your breath.

Allegedly, apparently, in my opinion......

for a small fee and an expense account and a can of poison I'll come and sort this donkey orchid problem once and for all.

You don't think that the department of whatever are dumb enough to tell people exactly where they are do you?

Nice website update too.

I am pretty confident that there is more to the story than the PIMM utterings.

well they know that if they tell PIMM where they are PIMM might want to engage the services of an environmetalist such as my good self to ensure that these donkey orchids are (to use a New York mafia expression) "taken care of".....

shame it's not going anywhere, it certainly sounds like an ambitious project.

oh, and my thoughts are circuit racing in this country is near dead. I was sitting back watching some races of the 1990 ATCC the other night. and saw the Oran park round (last round 1990, won by richards in a GTR :) ). and my god, the place was packed to the rafters! and this was in 1990. These days at a 8 meet there wouldn't even be that many there.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
