This has been in discussion for over 6 months now. 3 corporations are getting together to build the venue for circuit racing (another Mallala), with a drag strip, and other hardstand areas for training etc. Work is meant to begin in 6-9 months and will take 15 months to complete. Location is not yet definite, but will be located in the north, north-western suburbs of Adelaide. I am aware of this project, but thats all I can disclose right now.

As far as getting the hoons of the streets ... it won't be cheap. Circuit racing doesn't come cheap and night shifts at Maccas won't get them far. The hoons will still be on the streets, but its the sensible drivers who will take to the track.

It won't be more affordable. Do you really think a brand newly laid track closer to the city population will be any cheaper than a rundown shit hole like Mallala? Still, give me Mallala any day. I know all the lines and bumps and cambers and can do 1m17s all day.

Its just as easy to turn on your TV dude. :laughing-smiley-014:

hey mate, as far as the hoons go, well, thats life. i can tell you me and many other people are more than happy to pay a reasonable fee for practice days, around the $100 mark. as far as spectators i think its fair to charge a touch more if the facilities are decent.

as i mentioned before, drift is becoming very big in motorsport, and its only going up, i think it would be very beneficial for the designers to really take into account the sport. are you aware of any plans to consult the drift community as far as track design goes? i know it sounds like a big ask, but if they were to secure some of the big rounds of drift competitions im sure it could help out the track a lot, as i mentioned with the massive crowds drift already pulls at places like mallala.

Not sure if 'drifting' is on the cards. EPA approval for that form of noise above ambient noise levels will need to be considered.

And as far as I know the owner of Mallala has a contract with the drift organisers. So long as they don't renew their contract in the next 2 years, it could be applied for at this new track. Keep in mind too that CAMS will have a say in the matter.

I won't even hazard a guess to what the entry fee will be for a 'practice day' type event, but my "gut feeling" says it could be over $150 for the obvious facilities/CAMS licensing/insurance reasons. But I'm only guessing here.

are you for real if to be a spectator its going to cost $100 you'll get no one come to watch :cheers::D:)

If drift isnt on the cards, then the organisers havent done their home work. Mallala may be contracted to DA but that wouldnt stop the organisers starting their own state round like G1, and holding drift prac nights and what not, The demand is there and they would be silly not to take in account of the large drift scene in Adelaide.

drift cars are not going to be any noiser then other planned cars on the track... if theres a drag strip ui can tell you no drift car on the face of the earth is going to come close to making the same noise as a top fuel drag car lol.

it was in relation to mallala, i was saying it would be fair to ask for a bit more than what mallala charges.

well that was a really good report said THOUSANDS turned up to the rally in 40DEGEREE heat

woohooo its only a mater of time really

you didnt make your self very clear.. i didnt wonder if you ment that

last time i went to AIR i think it was like $15 for non national event im happy to pay $20 for a track like WSID but i think they still only pay about $15 entry

just saw the channel 7 news and it does look definate.... they just need to find the land...... only thing was only a 1/4 mile was mentioned.... no track so to speak

but the lady rep said Stage 1 was $25,000,000 and then Stage 2 would be later down the track

yeh sorry, when i read it again it didnt seem very clear.

i think garden island would be a huge mistake for the complex and the reason been .

noise travels really well over water and garden island is too close to all the new housing developments on the docks at port adeliade . people who have just paid a shitload of money to live there in there new apartments ect ect will kick up something fierce about the noise the very reason rowly park speedway was shut down and the very same reason speedway city now has a curfew on it .

last thing we need as motor sport fans dosent matter drags/drift/circuit racing or speedway is a new complex thats cost millions and have bloody time curfews put on it right from the start

we need a new complex thats all in one no argument there but the location has to be right so we can all enjoy it without restrictions

cheers mid life crisis

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
