well, here's your chance.

If you think re-opening Wakefield is a vote changing reason, here you go:

Personally, I don't see that it outweighs their choice to keep money laundering alive through pokies, but that's the great thing about democracy, everyone gets one opinion and 1 vote :)

The $1 million pledge would be used for noise mitigation work, and the Department of Planning, Goulburn Mulwaree Council, and Office of Sport would be directed to develop a plan for reopening the circuit. Minns cited the race track's use for driver training for the state's police academy, which is based in Goul

Thanks for sneaky link addition in the quote Bot

@Duncan or @PranK the post above from Emporer Gill has had a sneaky edit of Duncan's post to include an extra link in it that wasn't there in Duncan's original post. I'm guessing scam, spam, or malicious content :)

Ahh I didn't realise. I'm sure they would want a PDF of the story posted to promote regional businesses

Isn’t that the one in katoomba that pretty much gets used as a bicycle track now?

SAU NSW had it as one of the "historic" scenic stops on a cruise that I went on years ago

To say it was overgrown with vegetation at the time would have been an understatement

Did walk the track and reminisce about times gone by

Now

Before.....looks very unforgiving

 Oh yes the good old days !

I remember that track in the day an thinking this is unforgiving with no room for any errors as you'd be like the ball in a pinball machine.

To dive it at speed beforehand, you'd have to go down to your local fruit shop and buy a couple of coconuts and shove them down your pants ! !

Following the video Wakefield Park (One Raceway) posted on youtube of the track going in both directions, I'm intrigued to see what they do for running the track in the counter clock wise direction.

Based purely from the track being made and put into a racing game, I can forsee some issues going backwards.

They've also changed quite a few of the corners too. It's pretty much just vaguely shaped like Wakefield Park used to be.

The track looks great in both directions and seems to be a few small changes in the old area's. I have never been there but seen old footage and google earth pic's.

They shouldn't have to do anything as they would have created longer/deeper run off area's and placed tyre wall to allow for both directions. May have to turn the safety light boards around but you would think they would have bought more to allow it.
Having done a few track layouts with some considerable safety concerns and mitigating this would be fine, the small kinks and chicanes as part of the redesign allow for cars to slow down  before the bigger corners.

My main issue I can see a problem with, is in reverse direction, turn one.

 

From the video simulation (the pics they've uploaded previously don't show the changes fully to Final turn normal direction/turn one in reverse).

Watch the simulation they've made, and in reverse, as you get to the first turn, you need to kink right, but until your right there, the old track for straight to the old turn is fully visible, and looks to be where to go.

They've then dug DOWN, and made that turn heavily cambered as it goes back the "180 degrees" to the left.

From old to new, if you went straight ahead, is a hefty drop. Or more so, a wild airborne ride...

As I said, I rather waited to see what it REALLY ends up like, and how they actually do things at the track. But I can see potential on track days for someone to do a straight ahead, get airborne, and be T Boning a car that was previously in front of them.

 

Basically, I'd think they'll have to put some heft tyre barriers there, but that's going to make for one hell of a brutal stop, especially for a bike rider...

Interesting how sports always have their hands out for grants. $1M was promised to Wakie by state government (and not yet paid last I saw).

Now $9.5M being given to short people who whip horses in Goulburn....I'm really not sure why my taxes should fund stables.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
