Hi All,

Who wants an international standard race track and motorsports facility at Avalon? :banana:

The debate is hotting up and the more public support this gets, the more likely the Government and private business is to fund it.

Some potential plans for the track and complex have been drawn up and they look awesome - check them out at this Facebook page and be sure to 'Like it' to show your support.

Cheers

Dave

Where is the debate exactly?

I only ask as the FB page has only "7" likes... Not much of a debate.

Umm, I didn't say anything about the debate being on the Facebook page - I just said this was where the information on the track was. The general 'public debate' is what I was referring to.

Go easy on me - I'm just trying to create a bit of public support and a space for people to share ideas - the page has only been live for two hours, so 7 likes isn't bad so far! :thumbsup:

is this the new Motorvate melbourne crowd?

ie wanting to build a track/drag strip at avalon either with gov support, bobjane/lindsay fox or combo?

ie the one that has been going for 5-6 years now???

admittedly they are more drag orientated now but yeah?

this "new" one who is behind it?

sponsors, major players/organizers?

lets make prinny highway a street circuit...

don't get me wrong I'm all for more tracks in vic and the better quality, but want a bit more info b4 I throw my support

Also curious the link SAU has with this??

Yeah, fair enough.

To be clear, SAU has no links with this page and nor does any other organization - it's just an attempt to draw together the information that is out there and create some awareness about the proposals for the circuit. Nothing more than that.

Have a look and if you like it, 'Like' it, if you don't then don't.

Cheers

(Apologies that the SAU logo image was left over from developing the page: it has been removed now. The SAU track images were an idea that the club could sell/give as decals to people who participated in track days and were not related to that page)

i reckon something on the motorkhana scale would be a good thing to try and get off the ground. Small enough that it would be feasible, and then once that is shown to be a sucess, you leverage that to push for a more comprehensive facility closer to urban centres.

Sounds like another Motorvate..... i.e. fail

I dunno though, with the backing of CAMS this one may have a bit more behind it, but I'd imagine the $200m might be a problem given that the state Government are broke. It just needs someone in there who can visualise the potential and realise that there is a gap in the list of world class sporting venues in Melbourne.

We live in hope!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
