The extent of the existing track

I like how a combination of tracks can be used at anyone time - except the international of course.

Though I don't like how the drift bowl will be part of the international track...........

Drifting by nature, tends to ruin the surface, especially when they drag all the dirt onto the track. Else I like.

That is one of the nicest, most balanced and ingenious layouts of any track...

Would've like to have seen a tighter last corner, aside from that though, looks really technical, and the long main and back straights allow for great passing spots! :P

Send THAT BLOKE TO BARBAGALLOS!!!! :P

"John Cotter, the President of the ARDC, announced that the master plan would be a way to cover for the impending closure of Oran Park, as well as provide world-class facilities to hold world class events, such as Japanese Super GT, FIA GT World Championship and GP2 Asia."

Super GT....super!

Actually, to me, it looks overly tight with only one potential overtaking place. Loads of mickey mouse stuff & only one even remotely high speed corner in sight. :P To be a good circuit it needs a couple things - namely elevation change combined with high speed turns.

On the upside it looks to have flexible layouts. Does anyone see the resemblance of the National Track to AIR? They have packed alot of tarmac into a small space - maybe too much?

Hopefully there will be something in it for the paying spectator, not just the bloody corporates.

So please keep this sort of thing away from Wanneroo.

yeah I'm a bit of a sceptic too. and it's as shame where we once had a nice, fast, open turn 1 we'll now have a hairpin instead. d'oh.

there are a lot of positives though. :P and it does make good use of the space.

my only other gripe is the drift track should be seperate from the main circuit and they should build another, BIG skid pan and actually let clubs use it for khana events and even drift practice etc.

Looks fun.......but!!!!

I'm with djr81. It also doesn't look like it has the same high speed flowing as the current layout.

No more high speed turn one!......I'll miss her :google:

Drift track defiantly needs to be bigger and separate to the main circuit.

Personally i don't like it and I definatley don't like the implications of making it happen. The current track is great as it is,,,there's plenty of overtaking spots unlike most other tracks in skippy land.

My only bug-bear with the current setup is you can't see shit as a spectator.

Why not bulldoze coporate hill and turn 2's hill flat,,,build some simple covered grandstands and heaps of stepped seating like next door.

    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
    • The consult isn't even OBD1. It's a Nissan Consult. Proprietary.   Re read everything I've said. I specifically say, put down the laptop/tablet. Understand, and review the issue first. Logging voltages is the same as logging the converted value. Things like O2 that you say to log, is unusable for this, whether it be the voltage, or the value the ECU thinks.   The fact you don't know how to diagnose without looking at the computer, is exactly what I've said multiple times is the issue for why techs these days can't diagnose the fun issues with cars.
    • Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.
