Why don`t you do something!!!:):D:D

Write them (Bunbury Council, F-Nippon etc), get your friends to write them... make it happen.

My Question is: What's going to happen to the venue once that "round of f-nippon" is finished. Who's to say it will get used again ?

Could just be another perry lakes/homebush sydney deal...purpose built for a few months then left as a ghost town..

i hope it goes ahead as well ...... these things usually take years to eventuate tho.

Perth needs more big events and the Government is starting to realise this and putting their branding behind it e.g Rugby World Cup. So its more than possible that the Government has given its ok to it ..... seeing as it means millions in tourism ..... growth in Bunbury etc.

Anyway shant count my chickens before they hatch - my parents have a holiday house in Bunbury and Bunbury Council is forever changing its mind about what it proposes to do ...... just a couple of months ago it was a world class resort along the beach front .... but that aint happening either.

I don't know about homebush, but perry lakes gets used.

there have been plans to knock it down because it's getting old and run-down (and dangerous, frankly)....but if you ever had to park there on a sunday when the rugby and athletics are on - you know it gets used!!

the reason that hasnt been flattenned and used as residential development site up till now is the government and the LGA havent been able to fund the shortfall between what the land is worth and what it will cost to build another stadium and basketball facility - and the community groups have been to vocal to let the place shutdown without an appropriate alternative!

Don`t you think it`s a good proposal?

If I was in Perth now, I`d be following this up and trying to get as much support as possible. If 10,000 people all registered their support, you watch how much capital gets thrown at it, and before you know it bloody NISMO is building a factory three doors down from your house.

This kind of stuff HAPPENS. Look at the US for christs sake, they`ve got a round of D1 drift!

The Japanese want to expand overseas and build up new market potential in any way thats viable. If have an F-Nippon round in Perth makes money, they`re in.

Don't get me wrong, the idea behind it is fantastic, waneroo is ageing baddly and needs a lot of work done to it, which is slowly bit by bit happening, and another track would be tops, especially an international standards one, but the guy behind it doesn't have a hope in hell, has no money and really, i seriously doubt he has any of the backing he claims to

the idea is great, the person pushing for it, is bad

Aren't there like 1 and a half million people in Perth? Surely there must be some other respectable entrepenuer that could get it off the ground?

If you guys have ever been to Suzuka Circuit, you'd know that the whole town of Suzuka is run on motorsport factories and shops and things. The same would happen to Bunbury, and knowing Nismo, Impul and Autobacs, once theres a legitimate reason to go to WA (namely for support of the F-Nippon teams) they'll see that Australia needs an Offical Aussie Head Office... and build one...

yeah theres a few blokes with cash, but the other issue with building it, who the heck is gunna use it, being an international track it'll be farking expensive to hire, and really 1.5 million people here equals bugger all when it comes to motorsport fans, especially something not powered by a ford or holden/chev v8, or doesn't involve footy, drinking beer and pounding the crap out of each other..

no one would really give a toss, heck, they put the farkin football semi final on at rally australia, the ONLY international rally event in the country, so they stick the farking football on the super screen..

    • Honda's hybrid system can be easily scaled up to PHEVs. Series hybrid at low speeds, at higher speeds the engine directly drives the wheels but there can still be some power bled off to charge the battery + the electric motor can still provide parallel assistance too. It's really only a question of will at that point. Toyota's PHEVs are selling incredibly well at the moment because of the flexibility. You can run on EV mode when it makes sense, but if you're planning on doing a long highway drive you can still fire up the gas engine and not have to worry about dealing with the rather miserable state of public charging infrastructure.
    • Only reason to keep a MAF on your RB25 is to be able to easily calculate true VE if you know what the factory voltage curve represents in grams per second of flow. Also allows you to do things like pull the original OEM ignition + AFR target tables and use those as a starting point for your base map. Once you're well and truly done tuning though there's no need to retain the MAF.
    • Do you think they'll merge there performance divisions and we'll end up HoMo?
    • Very true, if buying new, I would not get an PP either. Minimum is an Elite 2500, which is also considered outdated. Get something that supports DBW, delete that cable throttle. Best thing I've ever done to the Skyline, next best is refreshing the A/C with a new condenser. It's cold, but not as cold as modern car, but colder than most 90s JDM shit boxes imported into Australia.
    • Haltech have a nice comparison table between the Elite and Nexus models -  https://www.haltech.com/ecu-buyers-guide/ In general, the Nexus is better. Haltech have some nice product videos on their YouTube page, I'd have a look at those and if you're still not confident what way to go, I'd give them a call. They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I'm sure they'll be able to help you out.
