Sign the Victoria Park Support Petition

The rejection of the proposed Victoria Park grandstand by the Adelaide City Council as a result of a vocal campaign by nostalgic minorities is a backwards step for Adelaide and South Australia as a whole. It is a short-sighted decision based on fear and not reason.

The Victoria Park grandstand is a visionary project designed to provide permanent and superior facilities for the award winning Clipsal 500 event. Such a project would enhance our competitiveness in being able to retain if not bid for more world class events, which add to the vitality but also to the economy of our state.

Furthermore the proposed grandstand would facilitate the renaissance of Victoria Park into a premier horse racing venue, something which the under-utilized and tired facilities of today are incapable of achieving. The Victoria Park grandstand would allow Adelaide to put its best foot forward.

A permanent structure on the parklands is not a threat to our unique parklands, but rather an enhancement. Had it not been for similar visionary projects, we would not have Adelaide Oval, the zoo, Adelaide University, the Museum and Art Gallery amongst many other structures built on the parklands, which have become valued additions to our city. The proposed Victoria Park grandstand is no different.

As such, I as a progress-loving citizen of Adelaide or to the state of South Australia hereby declare my full and un-wavering support for the Victoria Park re-development in its full and original form.

Good work Howie!

Having worked on both the initial proposal that was rejected by ACC and the demountable structure that is now proposed, it is such a shame that this development has been stopped. There's no other city in the world that has the potential to access so many major events from within 10mins from the CBD. To have the ability to walk to the cricket, tennis, festival centre, convention centre, and what would have been the horse racing and motor racing, would have given such a boost to the life to the city. It is of upmost importance that Adelaide is city centric to keep moving forward. Thing is, the SAJC will probably end up moving out of Vic Park altogether which means the eye-sores that are the dilapidated buildings along Fullarton and Wakefield Rds that are there will be there to stay.

All this because of the very influential East End residences that consider Vic Park as their own personal back yard.

p.s. jeez that's a pretty old image you have there Howie! i'll post up a slightly more updated image if interested.

Also Nick. Would love an updated render if you have one mate!

Btw, so far we've got 100 sigs on our first day!.. our aim is now 1000 signatures before the 23rd December (weekend), it'll be going in the Sunday Mail - hopefully this will give the gov a mandate from the people.

No worries. I've forwarded the petition to the entire office so wait for the ball to start rolling. Unfortunately it looks like the online petition is limited to the single IP address so they'll have to sign in from their home computer since i've already signed it.

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.

      That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.

      interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
