yea 8 million is good but i would have thought a proper track would cost more than that ??? could be wrong though and i would be giving it 2 - 3 years before any thing starts to happen with it... planning will take them forever as no matter were they put it someone will bitch about the nature problems or noise pollution etc etc

hope it gets up though.

Gezz, finally !!

They have been crapping on about it for so long...

Hmmm, 8 million...  Will that build a 1/8 mile or a 1/4 mile strip.  I hope that they will build a 1/4 mile strip...

OMG - surely they wouldn't be so STUPID as to put another 1/8 mile in????-- :D

Nah - no way will organisers let that happen again!!!!

It'd be really nice, but I wonder how good an $8million dollar 1/4 mile would be, (not being scarcastic) because I remember hearing that WSID cost the govt close to $30 million. WSID is a world class facility though..... so a not so awesome venue in Canberra may scrape in a little cheaper..... any thoughts.... even better.... anyone out there built a dragway before? :)

It'd be really nice, but I wonder how good an $8million dollar 1/4 mile would be

I'd be happy with a flat 1/4 bit of tar, staging lights, and a finish line... Oh, and a sand trap at the end :)

I reckon we could the boys together and knock one up in a weekend for a couple of hundred bucks :D

:)

:headspin:

man dont believe the stanhope government ive heard that they have basically said yeah will put the money up but stall for as long as it takes on giving land over so basically its election games o they look good to the public, however that said im dark on the liberals as well as they promised a dragway when they had power and renigged your pushing s.hit uphill trying to believe a polly.

I'll believe it when I see it, and believe me I'd like to see it

I remember reading something on Performance Forums the other day about someone picking up on a loophole to do with the lease that the farmers are on out at Majura, which would allow the government to say "Oh, bugger, can do it there. And now we have to find another suitable venue. Which is too hard. Oh well."

Ha, they'll say anything to get into power, but they rarely follow through. I remain unconvinced. They may go about finding a site, but like eveyone said, it'll just fall through or something and the government won't talk about doing anything again till the next election.

I agree guys - my initial excitement has died down a bit - the more I think about it and the more I read about it and hear their broken promises from the past, I am firmly convinced it is just an election furphy as well..... Unless they can commit to a site (and the greenies don't find that two toed pink frog) then there is no way I am going to vote for em this election....

:);):P

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
