I just worry about yhe existing easement and proposed rail loop.

runs straight through the middle.

and those can come into effect at any given moment, now or in 15yrs.

Sydney Motorsport Park has those huge power lines (easement running across it) - No dramas there. Not to mention water supply and sewerage easements. On the bright side... proposed rail loop could be underground and mean more spectators, more money and better facilities... Here's hoping it gets built.

water, sewerage are underground.

power lines, over the top.

rail is generally on ground level, where the track would lie.

being not in suburbia, I highly doubt they would spend the cash on a tunnel, when they can lay straight over the top.

Technically the power company owns all the land underneath the lines too, or at the very least has a right of way to repair the lines any old time - even mid race.

More over the nsw govt would have to justly compensate for the land to be used. The track board could then approve to build a bridge over the rail line with the funds received and have an even more exciting track. I've seen plenty of bridges over rail lines that work well enough. That bridge at the old Oran Park was awesome too.

No Development Application (DA) means no project. They need to get approval of the project plan (and the rail bridge :) ) before anything goes ahead. I am surprised that they knocked back someone with marketing experience though - perhaps the plan is a stealth communications strategy! Ironically, such a strategy worked for the Farm driveway at Peats Ridge :)

Far from world class, its very narrow and i think council should make him tear it up, it seems just because he has money he can get away with lying and bullshitting the council to now charge people to use his track, exactly what council didnt want there was a track used by groups, i bet the neighbours love it, yes he has neighbours, ive been there and seen the track, from his fence anyway, a mate is a local up there, this was atleast 4yrs ago...

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
