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.

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

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.

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.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
