You've got to love this Stanhope Government, he let our city burn down and then "didn't accept" the Coroners findings when they were handed down, slaughtered more than a thousand kangaroos at Googong to placate a few whinging farmers and then couldn't comment because he told the officials not to tell him anything about what was going on so he couldn't be questioned about it, promised a drag strip if they were voted in at the last election and then spent millions to try and find a way not to build it and then announce that they wont a couple of days before Christmas hoping that people will forget about it by the time next year comes around.. the blokes a f**kwit. :)

I knew there was a reason I moved to Queanbeyan.

I'm with G.

We were ALWAYS getting a dragstrip,in the same way we were ALWAYS going to get a truthful Government that is actually there for our best interests(not just car stuff,either...). They don't give a toss about the minority in anything,and will only bend over to the affluent and impressionable. F**k 'em.

And it those same people who complain about the noise that also complain about 'hoons'.

Give us some where to have fun with our cars, then we have no excuse to do it on the roads!

exactly mate,people complain about fast cars on streets,give them a place to have fun in a controled place....

That sux so much!!!! They are trying to stop street drag racing, Burnouts, and P Plate accidents. I am a P Plater with a modified skyline, who like most skyline owners is always interested to know how their car matches up against other makes ect in a straight line. Vote the LIBS i say, and lets get that 3am cruise on the way.

I don't think it matters which way you vote;we're a minority,and considered an antisocial one at that. We were promised that the dragstrip would be built if the last lot got voted in;they did,and it wont be built. The next lot will tell us what we want to hear just to get into power. I don't believe for one minute that they'll build us a strip just because the outgoing idiots didn't. We'd be mugs to believe it for a second time....and I believe we're here,driving superior cars to most,because we're not fools. So,it's off to WSID for me,unfortunately.

Dragstrip, F1 Grandprix, Superbikes, V8 super cars...what promise hasnt been broken. They will never wake up to the profits and tourism by having a gr8 Nations Capital hosting the events that every Ausie loves.

FFS the capital was placed between Sydney and Melbourne to be more than to have the piss taken as the seat of government.

I'm tired having cheap shots by other states for the government of Aus that doesn't even live here and runs the flamin mongrelry from afar.

Bad sex toy shops, shite gambling casino and fireworks...wooohooo! yeah gr8 thanks'..... ya bunch of parlimentry shmucks. FU2

Yeh when i have friends come in from out of state i STRUGGLE to find things to do that

a) arent the lame touristy things (ie, nat museum. carillion etc)

b) arent going to civic coz thats teh c00l3st!!

c) arent sitting around fapping from the pr0n shops... never mind :nyaanyaa:

Sweet, by the ACT Gov saying no to the drag way, that means yes to racing on the streets right???? Well thats how I see it, especially around hackett and north canberra.

Ohh and btw the 2 long black strips past the Hackett shops were done by me at 5am.

THE CRISIS IS OVER!

NO ONE NEEDS TO WORRY ABOUT MOTORSPORT IN THE ACT ANY MORE!

Look what I just found......

Residents of Spence please note - Much sponsorship dollars to be gained by offering advertising space on your land.

Mate, all this project needed was a greater percentage of the community that likes motorsport to know about it. Think about this:

ALL of the whinging greenies knew about the proposal, hated it, said so.

FEW of the potential supporters of the proposal knew of its existance and so, said nothing.

When a group fighting for a cause like this is asked repeatedly for information to print to help support their proposal and don't even return a simple email, they shouldn't expect any support from the motorsport fan community because, simply, they don't know the cause exists.

I'm sad the ACT track has been hit on the head. It would give me another track to race at just 2 hours away from me - believe me, i'd make the trip - but if it did get off the ground, i'm afraid the people running it would be so arse-backwards that it'd fall over under its own steam soon enough.

I used to race at the old track here and it was brilliantly run, Jeff Develin worked incredibly hard to get the last track up and running and invested a lot of his own time and money to do it. If running the track was left up to him and the group that ran the last track it would do very well.

    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
    • Yes, but no. I wouldn't want an IC7, because I think they are ugly, cramped and most of the displays I've seen are garish (and granted the last bit can probably be avoided). I wouldn't want to pay for the UC10. Probably wouldn't want to pay for the IC7, for that matter. And, it's an R32. I have cable drive speedo. Although, thinking about it, that's not a big obstacle, because at least I can throw the electronic sender back into the R33 box and then find a way to emulate the original (R32 or R33) speedo head's conversion of the saw-tooth AC speed signal into the square wave that the ECU wants, without the 1990s approach of hiding a gutted speedo head behind the dash. (another Arduino project, no doubt). I like the technical aspects of the big digital dashes, but I aesthetically and just general originality and feel-wise, like the original dash enough. More? Yes, more. If I had a UC10 I'd want to make the dash look as close to the original one as possible most of the time, and only flash up "DANGER TO MANIFOLD" when it needed to. But the other aspect of the 3-DIN slot digi gauge that I'm contemplating is that I'm a tinkerer and can barely resist a project, even if I don't need to add another to the list of unfinished ones. And I think there's enough precedent of others out there that have proven which equipment works (ie, is not washed out, or slow, or prone to failure, or all the other problems that can afflict such a project). I'm not quite enough of a micro-controller tech head that I know the best way to approach all of these decisions, and so striking out on my own to achieve it years ago would have led to unhappiness. But now, it seems like a project that I can actually achieve on the first or second go, with only a few sleepless nights. And that's why I'm actively thinking about it now. I would much rather have a thing in my car that I made from more-or-less scratch that does what I want, rather than something that someone else made that does some of what I want, not other stuff I want, and/or annoys me in some fashion. If I'm going to be annoyed, I need it to be my fault, so I know who to blame, and who needs to fix it. As an example of that - I have surveillance cameras at home. No, I did not go buy a kit with a DVR and 4 or 8 or 16 off-the-shelf cameras in a kit. No, I did not want to use any sort of could service to record or access the feeds and recordings from outside the house. No, I bought my chosen cameras directly (from China, lol) and built the DVR myself using a couple of different (ie, this was attempt 1 and attempt 2 to get a system I liked) software packages, running on Linux, with the server being a virtual machine running Proxmox. I found a way to offload the image recognition part of the system to a dedicated AI processing board (a Coral TPU, for anyone who cares) with the hardware passed through to the server on the VM, motion detection offloaded to the GPU, all storage is local in the home network, accessible from outside via my own self-hosted VPN). All done so that I could seal off the Chinese cameras in their own network where they can't access the internet and dial home to the CCP and backdoor my network. All things that you can't have if you do what is commercially available. And even with all the f**king around it has still cost a fraction of what it would cost to buy commercially.
    • ..could be worse... but out here, renting private affords some luxuries ...we've even been told the Sept dateline isn't critical, and I'd rather move stuff in the cool of winter, than slogging it out in the heat. Recall we were talking about the million dollar view this place has?...that's what he got for it... (won't be so nice when the quarry happens at the back in the future...lol..)... ...cool, I'll stick the wiper motor in a wee box...umm.... the pinny is GLX trim ~ I think that's about as close as it gets to Silo spec when it comes to the S2 pinny...ie; electric mirrors etc etc...dunno about the trip computer/wiring...I do electronics repair, I'd be willing to take a look at it for you. As you saw, all the dash is there in that car..and thinking about it, it'd be easier to pull the whole center section out, rather than just the ashtray and rails, but your call...
