Anyone know of any dedicated rally tracks in Victoria? Closer to Melbourne would be good but anything would be nice. Somewhere I can go up and use anytime or make a booking or that has a run whatcha brung day. There are too few rally events and I'm not always available when they're on. Just want somewhere I can go when it suits me.

Any locations would be greatly appreciated.

Probably better to talk to your local rally clubs. While rallies are generally run on public roads, there are usually a couple of autocross tracks available for use, but normally only if you know the property owners well. You'll probably find that there are a number of rallysprint / autocross events run each year, and may use 2 or 3 different venues.

Not knowing your area, I can't really comment, but for example, there are about 4 different venues within 15 minutes drive from me (Gold Coast) that are used for rally type competition throughout the year (probably 8-10 events a year across those venues). I know that one of these venues is available for private practice, if you know the owners well. most of the others are temporary venues, so you can only access them when there's an event on.

If I go further afield (up to 2 hours drive) there would be at least a dozen gravel sprints / khanacross type events each year, possibly up to 20 if I added them all up.

Hope that helps you a bit.

Prob the most dirt involved club in vic. Randy at Nissco www.nissco.com.au is involved in prepping rally cars if you need a hand getting your car sorted...

+1 John Roberts from the Nissan Car Club is heavily involved in the rally side of the house. He works full time at Autobarn in Ringwood if your ever down that way and want to have a chat.

      FWIW, I've always found Toyota A/Cs to be much colder than Nissan ones. Even that 2024 Nissan X-Trail (that VW Australia lent to me), the A/C isn't as cold as other base model Toyota Corollas/Camrys, etc. Maybe Toyota A/C compressors are superior?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      It's not that at all....I just love the R chassis too much to keep racing it! Absolutely impossible to fix the damn thing if I bend it.... That last off I had (when I neglected to do what Kel said), we removed a gum tree with the side of the boot....needed a new rear quarter, boot lid, floor straighten, rear bar, front bar, both front guards, radiator, bov return and I still haven't got it back for a proper alignment to check it is actually straight again). There are just too many ways in tarmac rally to do significant damage to a car that you can't really get parts for.

      Now I'd said earlier I'd checked the fuses, and per @Stick180's suggestion I checked them all again. The check was to use the multimeter in continuity mode on the top of each fuse where the little metal tabs are available for that purpose. All good....except that very "A/T Control" fuse was actually blown when I pulled it out and looked at it. Put it back in, tested it again, there is continuity to both sides even though the fuse is blown. I'll need someone smarter than me, but my suspicion is that I was getting a circuit through a power supply, through an incandescent globe somewhere, to earth, to the shorted wire and back to the other side of the fuse, making it look like the fuse was OK when it wasn't....please anyone that understands this f**kery explain it to me. Bottom line....that suspicious purple/white wire, in an undamaged factory loom, that goes to the the wrong place in the fuse box has a dead short to earth, confirmed from both ends.  How a single wire in a factory loom can be shorted, especially the best protected loom in the whole car (underneath the top of the dash) is going to keep me awake at night because surely whatever caused the damage has (or will) damaged other wires in that loom too. So, to finish this long and sad story....cut the purple/white wire where it exits the fuse box, ran a new wire from there to the ECU loom pin 31, fired it up and drove happily into the sunset. Only 4 days of head scratching and peering into footwells to get me there. Another collection of wire removed (in addition to the earlier photo) and a bunch of 10a fuses that gave their lives for the trouble shooting....thank you for their service.  And, since the car was in the shed I resealed the cam cover (first time I've ever had a new seal leak on an RB, but the Stagea is that kind of lucky), and I put in the boost doc cam splash plates to try and turn down the blow by a bit while I was there. Which, was all good because it also let me find the slow coolant leak, turns out it was from the turbo water supply which I nipped up again (the banjo bolt got new washers, and I tightened the hose end and hose to banjo fitting while I was there)
