Legal Drag Racing at Kooralbyn


Recommended Posts

Guest BOOSTIN_180

If anyone is interested i was thinkin of organising a cruise in the upcoming weeks. We would head out west towards Kooralbyn, there are some very nice long roads out there, and at the end we would stop at a runway, where they would let us have some runs if anyone wanted to, it all legal cause it is privately owned and i know the ppl that own it.

To save everyone from reading the whole thing I'll let you all know that this is no longer happening.

Here is the reason from Mattson

"Ok first of all before ya all take this the wrong way I thought I'd give you a few facts:

There is no way, repeat NO WAY you'll race two cars side by side down the kooralbyn air strip, it is NOT wide enough!

secondly, the surface of the air strip is SHITE, it's like a cheap d-grade rock and tar road, and very un-even.

third, there is a BIG **** off river on one side and a drop onto the road on the other side and at the end of the run-way the same river.

now the reason I know this is I went to school at Kooralbyn for 9 years, I worked at the Golf Course for two years, my sisters boyfriend is a Sky-Diver & does all the filming for the Jump crew out there, my sister works as a part-time receptionist for the Kooralbyn Air-Stripe so I Also know Brad Turned personally.

and myself & BoostedS15 were just out at Kooralbyn on the weekend for a Golfing adventure and after seeing this thread and seeing the air strip there is no way it could work.

And the last thing, Public Liability, if you have any more then 6 cars out there then in the eyes of the law you are classed as Group/Club therefore requiring public liability insurance, and in this sort of event where the public and others could be in SERIOUS danger you will be in all sorts of problems if something does happen

But, by all means go ahead to conitinue to orginise it, this is just my two cents worth...

Cheers,"

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
