MEDIA RELEASE 13 January 2011

Street Machines set to shine at the Mountain

Mount Panorama is fast becoming a major events’ Mecca with Bathurst Regional Council announcing a new event to be staged at the facility in early 2012.

Council is set to sign a five year agreement with Springnats Pty Ltd for the staging of the Valvoline Bathurst Autofest. The festival will give Street Machine enthusiasts from Bathurst and beyond an opportunity to enjoy their passion, outside of a capital city.

Springnats currently runs similar events at Murray Bridge SA, Corowa NSW, Mount Gambier SA, and Shepparton VIC.

It’s expected the Valvoline Bathurst Autofest will prove very popular with car enthusiasts and further cement Mount Panorama’s reputation as the home of Australian motorsport.

“Council is always looking to attract new events to our region and we are very happy to partner with Springnats Pty Ltd for this exciting new festival,” said Bathurst Mayor, Paul Toole.

“This will be a different kind of event for the mountain and I’m sure it will prove to be very popular with Street Machine enthusiasts everywhere.”

Les Adams from the Springnats organisation added: “This is a major decision and a huge step forward for our sport, and shows the growing strength of Street Machining.”

The dates and program for the Valvoline Bathurst Autofest will be confirmed in the coming weeks. More information will be available at the Autofest website:

    • 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!
