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...

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
