I went up to Katoomba to take a couple of pics of the old Catalina track yesterday incase it gets torn up before I return from the UK. It seems to be doing a fairly good job of tearing itself up... bit of a shame I think.

So for those who know of it here's a couple of pics

Well i'll be damned, didn't have a clue their was an old track up in that section of Katoomba but then again it took me 6mths to realise where the swimming/gym complex was :laugh:

By the looks of those pics that track actually has a better road surface than half the side streets in the area :D

That was said too be an awsome track from the people I've spoken too about it. I think it was used last by the NSW Mini Club about 3 years ago.

We can all thank the do-gooder environmentalists for that track being closed down.

Yeah, what is the planned exact date for Oran being demolished?
i have NFI, people have been saying 1-2 years for about 3 years now.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I heard correctly from one of the boys at Ian Luff.

Lets just pray for more time!

In for SAU pocket bike championships :P

Poor Amaroo raceway - my earliest motorsport memories were from there, Dad used to take me once a month when I was a little fella :O

awwww... I wish my dad was into cars :(

I wouldn't mind a trip up there to have a look at this raceway!!!

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
