Queensland Raceway or Lakeside. You can do a lot of stuff on an AASA Clubman License (Sprints, Drift, etc). $55 a year and you don't even have to do a test. There's also drags at willowbank, I don't think you need any licence for that.

Keep it off the streets, nobody likes a street racer.

I am thinking of buying my first sportscar an old skyline. Where can you learn to drive fast in brisbane? Do you need a special license? What about "open roads" with no cops?

you're a dickhead, fcuk off to another forum

rofl IBTC

Take it to a track, lakeside or QR... Straight line use Willowbank drag strip...

Anywhere else and you risking your life and more importantly the life of others...

Skyline drivers are not snobs, they just get sick of being pulled over cause there are a few "hoons" who like to drive them and taint the whole image...

Wow! What nice people we have on this forum!!!!! Perhaps I will fcuk off!

Everyone has to start somewhere. Are skyline owners snobs??

start at a track, or even a skidpan, where there is plenty of room for you to spin out with no telephone poles, gutters, police and let alone innocent people

Thanks sorry I see. I was thinking more like a piece of totally open road with no other traffic, i guess in the old days you could go bush and drive fast out there. So there are racetracks? How much do you pay for insurance and use of a racetrack?

I was kinda hoping this would be a friendly scene.. I used to be involved in classic car racing and hill climbs in the UK and this was a very friendly scene, although i didnt own my own car my uncles had old racers from the 30s and 40s! Im just looking for a new hobby, ive given up on motorbikes since a nasty accident.

This is a friendly scene and we are friendly people.

Some people have lost their licence due to speeding, or getting defects, others have lost loved ones due to other people speeding etc.

When you post about racing or whatever down "open roads" with no cops you can't expect anything different from what has been posted above. It's foolish and idiotic.

Keep your racing to the track, the links have been provided at the top for you so visit their websites, give them a call and they will be able to answer your questions on costs etc.

Racing down an 'open road' is just as stupid as racing down the middle of town. Your life is just as valuable as the person next to you, even if you don't believe it yourself.

I hear that these>>http://www.police.qld.gov.au/ got the BEST hook up for great public roads where you can drive FAST!

Couldn't have said it better. On ya dan!

No, but some of them on this forum are the biggest nazis ever, its mainly the old farts. Just ignore them. Just find yourself an industrial area and have yourself a ball. Willowbank is in the middle of no-where and you have to drive ages to get there from anywhere in brisbane and plus you gotta get licence and entry fee, and pretty similar story to qld raceway.

Tristan is like 12, he is not old he is just not fully sick.

Some places where you can have a good drive but not break the speed limit include Nt Nebo, Mt Mee, Esk-Hampton Road and Gold - Coast Springbrook road

As far as going to an industrial estate that is neither fun nor safe fail ++

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
