The farm was never built to be world class. Just as MDTC is not world class, and is also narrow. Should they be forced to rip it up? Their neighbors don't like it either if it makes it any different.

I feel we should support all of these race tracks and push for as many as possible before our government and other groups kill the sport at a club level.

I am with you on this one John. We have a distinct lack of tracks around the place, if a very gracious private property owner decides to open his personal gates and let people onto it then good on him. It's after all his property and his money built the driveway to enjoy his own cars on. Neighbours always complain about change to other people's properties, but perhaps they should consider whether they would rather someone racing up their road instead. Casar Park is a great idea and hopefully it doesn't lose momentum like the Warnervale proposal of years gone by did.

they need more funding, basically they are looking for car enthusiasts to donate funds to get it going...

Ive been speaking to Brad, who is part of the exec committee for CASAR Park and whilst they are working hard to make it happen, fundraising is a large part of it..

I personally am wanting to make it common knowledge to all motoring enthusiasts that the track is there to be built if, and I stress if, the enthusiasts are willing to basically do something to make it happen... funding...!!

If every enthusiast donated $10 ea, this track would be getting built RIGHT NOW!!!!

lets make dreams become reality, lets not let this development become one of the ones that didnt go anywhere!!!

I'm happy to send my $10, even happy to organize a cruise and have everyone donate $10 each to go towards the project, but!! If the project doesn't go ahead what happens to said $10

Where are the funds to be deposited? How do we know who controls the bank account? Don't mind losing the cash at this price, but I do mind if the funds are going to some Richard Cranium Scammer pulling a development project swifty.

exactly...?

this is what Im trying to get across to the execs, they think people dont want to donate, I feel people dont want to donate because:

A. the exec committe are not reputable

B. there is no reason why this effort will succeed

C. they (the enthusiasts) have seen track ideas come and go previously

The exec committee have a good community based thought to the idea, but they really need to include the motor enthusiast in their plans, I would love to show them that enthusiasts are ready and willing to support but they (the enthusiasts) need some reassurance that the development isnt half hearted and that the funds will go towards what is intended, building a track!

What if I got some very reputable motoring legends to endorse the this development, would that help??

This development has a donation page if you want to donate.

http://gogetfunding.com/project/casar-park-community-motor-sport-facility

I would like to see every car club and forum have a dedicated CASAR park representative spouting the efforts of the committee and also answering questions that need be answered, like what would a track day cost at the proposed venue, what types of motorsport would they allow, would their be timing available, how many pit garages would be available?...

I have these answers, and Im working with them to have these answers meet the expectation of the proposed users of the venue, YOU the enthusiast.

Crowdfunding site is here: http://gogetfunding.com/project/casar-park-community-motor-sport-facility. I've just booked into their first track day.

Motor racing legend Dick Johnson's race team got shorted millions follow the collapse of sponsor Westpoint. Westpoint collapsed owing mum and dad investors millions. Busted being dodgy with their funding. Anyhow, if you could convince him to come on Board after scrutinising the deal and appoint him to the Board. Then you'd get a fountain of funding.

The donation options start at $30 to show support; $60 to be first to see and walk the track; options continue as you increase donation amount, the next one was 6 x 20 min laps of track and so on. You have to search a bit after following Duncan's link. I donated $60 and according to tally was the 18th donator. There are a couple of caveats, but they are explained on gogetfunding Casar page. Seems like someone is finally making an effort to get a track built.

If you are still concerned, the payment is made via Paypal link and use your credit card to make the payment through this as its the safest option.

It appears to be legitimate.

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
