Public Skidpan...

This afternoon I was just tossing some ideas around with a mate that works for a council and we came up with the idea of a public skidpan... ...It was mainly because we were sitting on his back fence and watching the kids wipe out on the skate ramp in the park... ...Such a good laugh...

Anyway... ...We noticed that just near the ramps was a public emergency phone... ...I guess if some kid really hurts himself then his mates could get some help coming before they piss off...

And this phone got us talking about how this kids are here at their own risk and that if they really needed help they could get it... ...So we thought that if there was a public skidpan somewhere it could also be set up with emergency phones and fire equipment and the public could use the skidpan at their own risk... ...But away from residential... ...Maybe in an industrial park...

The phones and emergency equipment could be stored around the skidpan behind glass that once broken alerted police/fire/paramedics... ...maybe even with cameras setup that started recording what was going on... ...with something like a 10 min back record... ...(I know the risk of vandalism)...

Of course this would all be "Use at Your Own Risk"... ...but it is being done in a semi-supervised environment...

I'm sure there would be heaps of legal issues... ...and councils wouldn't want the costs... ...But skate parks have got some kids to stop pestering people around shopping centres... ...Maybe this could work for cars...

Thoughts???...

The government do not want the 'hoon' problem eliminated. It brings in massive $ for them.

Skate parks are built to stop skaters skating in public places where they're not supposed to. They spend money building skate parks to get the skaters to skate there, because they're not going to make shit off them if they skate in public anyway.

end of story.

Could potentially be a winner if it was owned / run by a private operator. It would come down to the zoning of the land as well as any overlay controls, as such a use / development may be prohibited depending on these provisions.

Dragtag stopped being open to the public because they are concentrating on getting there TAG driving systems ready for export, primarily to Dubai, but other markets are on the horizon.

It was nothing to do with the cops as the owners of dragtag had the support of the local epping rttu and fawkner tmu.

Or at least that is what Neville the owner of dragtag told me last time we talked.

Lindsay Fox went to the same school as me. If only I was 30 years older and his good mate. I'm sure he wouldn't mind building a half-decent race track. Heck, he already owns the Phillip Island track.

+1 for private operator though. Me and my mates have often talked about privately operated tracks open to the public. Could be cool.

if the money the government make off hoons was invested into race tracks,

we would have at least 10 race tracks in Vic alone,

and it would cost half what it does now to race coz the gov would have money to subsidise it.

but thats not the world that we live in, and we have to live with what we have

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
