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...

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
