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?

race teams backing you?

little more info if you want our support.

else we could just create a

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!

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
