The way council, cops, rta, neighbours are to these sorts of sites and urban sprawl nowadays, you would have to consider having a track somewhere between cessnock and singleton or southwest past central mangrove. Newcastle is way too small to accommadate such a facility nowadays. Too many objections from too many negative people im afraid. :happy:

Exactly what I thought..............

Council wouldnt approve it, they'd rather see all us 'car hoon' off the road rather than give us a facility to use.

I'm so depressed at the whole car scene at the moment, it feels like your constantly trying to get blood from a stone.

I think it has come time that someone need's to say that Newcastle is just a SH&T hole and there will never be any driving parks or facilities to accomodate the racing enthusiast.

Going of past dealing's with necknock council and the motorplex plans, a driving park will never happen in newcastle no matter how many people are behind it.

There probably is only 1 way to do it and that is to buy private land somewhere and build a dedicated " Driveway" with no consideration for the neighbours and noise complaints. HEHE.

Look what happened to the doughnut pad up at the newcastle speedway went bye bye. Obviously the poeple of newcastle and outer region's do not want any thing of this nature to be any where near there city cause they will constantly be complaining of the nuisance that us driving enthusiast will be creating and that's is why all the majour track's are in sydney.

Why am i so negitave??

Pics please :)

Suit a texi style event?

For the most part it would, problem is it's still classed as a public road and there's nearly always boaties down there launching boats off trailers, i'll have a chat to a mate of mine who works for the RTA and see how we can go about it. :(

The only pictures i've got are ones i've taken of cars down at the site so bear with me on this one...

    • From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.
    • Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.  
    • I don't know what globes/headlight connector they run, but I'd be looking for a female adapter to plug into the existing headlight on one side. Something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256017245989 Then I'd use a pair of single input, double output relays (one for low, one for high), mount them in a spare space in the fuse box if you want to to look more original (and be easier to maintain). Then 2 new power sources from the main stud in the fuse box via a fuse to each relay. Low from the headlight adapter pin triggers low relay and high from the high headlight adapter pin triggers high and low. Earth the relays and new headlight sockets and off you go. Because it triggers off the original headlight all of the dipping/hi on/high flash all still works
    • I reached 10 posts and wanted to make my build thread too but still can't add pictures to posts so I have no idea how it works 😂
