Why don`t you do something!!!:):D:D

Write them (Bunbury Council, F-Nippon etc), get your friends to write them... make it happen.

My Question is: What's going to happen to the venue once that "round of f-nippon" is finished. Who's to say it will get used again ?

Could just be another perry lakes/homebush sydney deal...purpose built for a few months then left as a ghost town..

i hope it goes ahead as well ...... these things usually take years to eventuate tho.

Perth needs more big events and the Government is starting to realise this and putting their branding behind it e.g Rugby World Cup. So its more than possible that the Government has given its ok to it ..... seeing as it means millions in tourism ..... growth in Bunbury etc.

Anyway shant count my chickens before they hatch - my parents have a holiday house in Bunbury and Bunbury Council is forever changing its mind about what it proposes to do ...... just a couple of months ago it was a world class resort along the beach front .... but that aint happening either.

I don't know about homebush, but perry lakes gets used.

there have been plans to knock it down because it's getting old and run-down (and dangerous, frankly)....but if you ever had to park there on a sunday when the rugby and athletics are on - you know it gets used!!

the reason that hasnt been flattenned and used as residential development site up till now is the government and the LGA havent been able to fund the shortfall between what the land is worth and what it will cost to build another stadium and basketball facility - and the community groups have been to vocal to let the place shutdown without an appropriate alternative!

Don`t you think it`s a good proposal?

If I was in Perth now, I`d be following this up and trying to get as much support as possible. If 10,000 people all registered their support, you watch how much capital gets thrown at it, and before you know it bloody NISMO is building a factory three doors down from your house.

This kind of stuff HAPPENS. Look at the US for christs sake, they`ve got a round of D1 drift!

The Japanese want to expand overseas and build up new market potential in any way thats viable. If have an F-Nippon round in Perth makes money, they`re in.

Don't get me wrong, the idea behind it is fantastic, waneroo is ageing baddly and needs a lot of work done to it, which is slowly bit by bit happening, and another track would be tops, especially an international standards one, but the guy behind it doesn't have a hope in hell, has no money and really, i seriously doubt he has any of the backing he claims to

the idea is great, the person pushing for it, is bad

Aren't there like 1 and a half million people in Perth? Surely there must be some other respectable entrepenuer that could get it off the ground?

If you guys have ever been to Suzuka Circuit, you'd know that the whole town of Suzuka is run on motorsport factories and shops and things. The same would happen to Bunbury, and knowing Nismo, Impul and Autobacs, once theres a legitimate reason to go to WA (namely for support of the F-Nippon teams) they'll see that Australia needs an Offical Aussie Head Office... and build one...

yeah theres a few blokes with cash, but the other issue with building it, who the heck is gunna use it, being an international track it'll be farking expensive to hire, and really 1.5 million people here equals bugger all when it comes to motorsport fans, especially something not powered by a ford or holden/chev v8, or doesn't involve footy, drinking beer and pounding the crap out of each other..

no one would really give a toss, heck, they put the farkin football semi final on at rally australia, the ONLY international rally event in the country, so they stick the farking football on the super screen..

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
