The missus is keen to get up that way for family - we're currently in Albury/Wodonga and about an hour from Winton, Wilby, and 10misn from the new Logic track.

I have a track car that I have a feeling I won't be able to do anything with in Coffs Harbour?

I've had a look around and can't see anything besides a Go Kart track, surely that's not the only motor sport that goes on up there?

Newcastle and The Farm are both 3-4 hours away, Eastern Creek is further and any of the QLD tracks are also miles away.

They drift here http://www.raleighraceway.com.au/drift.html not far from coffs. I've go karted there back in the day, would be mad to drift.

Also north of coffs drag racing on a airstrip at casino https://www.summerlanddrags.com.au

That's about all I've heard of

Hmm that's not the track I drove Go Karts on up there last time.

Do you know if they do any grip driving there? Probably not if it's setup for karts, too narrow, no proper run off/safety etc.

Go karts starting to look like the only option.

Is there any Rally around that way?

I see Hillclimbs on that event list!

Why you decided to post the same question in 2 different sections is beyond me. I had started a reply in the motorsport section but in between me starting it and having dinner it has been deleted and rightly so. So heres my abridged version. Hope it helps.

I beleive you have 4 options Dan, none really that close but it is what it is.

Grafton has a go-kart track that also doubles as a bloody great hillclimb. It's a round of the NSW state hillclimbs.

Tamworth has a go kart track that is used for hillclimbs and supersprints. Now the hillclimb is not really a hillclimb as it's mostly flat but apparently it has enough elevation to make it a legal NSW state hillclimb champ event. I love going there,,,they would have to be the most friendly go out of their way club that I have ever come across. I have been known to drift the Skyline there on a number of occasions in practice and not got into trouble at all,,,actually they all loved it.

Gunnedah has a hillclimb apparently which was trying to become a state round. Funny enough we drove up this road to a lookout and I said to the wifey that this would make a great hillclimb and months later I got an invite to run up it. We couldn't go but it did look good. Sorry no link but it could be another option.

Kempsey also has a hillclimb that is a round of the NSW state champs. I've only ever been there once,,,it's a simple looking track that is quick and has bitten lots of drivers who underestimate it. The dickhead who bought my old sports sedan rolled it there.

Obviously for max exposure, not everyone frequents the Motorsport section and given I basically never see discussion in the MS section about events on the Central Coast, I thought it couldn't hurt to widen the net.

Thanks for the suggestions. Raleigh seems an OK option to get a fix, had a good chat with Bob from Coffs Harbour Car Club, nice guy.

Or I could swap my Silvia for a Rally car...

Raeligh don't do any grip days, you will understand why if you visit. It's far far too small for it I think, would hardly get out first gear. The track has been vastly upgraded in the last 2 years and is now pretty good condition. I drift there semi regularly and it's great fun, tight and technical :) also it's very relaxed as long as you are sensible.

They are also currently extending the track and making it rallycross, haven't got too much info on that at the moment though.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
