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.

+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.

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?

      To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.

      Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
