mmmmmmmm, well i saw this as only positive but i may be naive.

When i read it last night i looked at it as an extra and still presumed/hoped the gillman complex would be going ahead (thinking 3 track options eventually would be awesome like all the eastern states have.)

now i live in seaford rise so i'm a southerner, it takes me 1 hr and 15 mins to get to mallala and it would be the same time to tailem bend as i wakeboard at wellington (which takes just under an hour to get to) and tailem bend is only another 10 mins further.

you southerners whinging about how far away it is needs to come for a hills run with me so i can show you the back way to get to murray bridge/tailem bend, there are some great roads which you guys clearly don't know about!

I can see this complex wouldn't attract full on drag cars but for the everyday modded street car who wants to have fun legally i think this is a great option, i'm all for it but still want to see an andra drag strip down the track

It takes me longer to drive to Mallala than to Tailem Bend - or rather I should say it takes me longer to get home from Mallala (due to peak hour traffic all the way) than it does to get home from Tailem Bend. But likewise I am known to use the back roads instead of the Freeway.

The way I see it two venues are better than 1 and it seems we have been holding out/hoping for the Gillman complex for a several years now and the government will NOT approve it.

cross roads isnt south though

lol, im talking norlunga/willunga/mclaren vale etc where main south road is our main traffic way. we would have a hour drive into the city, 20 minutes to navigate through the city (anzac underpass, road works, city traffic, speed camera's etc etc) then a hour to get out to TB.

lol Gary Glitter....do you know where TB is?

Why do you need to come into town?

Willunga - Mt Compass - Strathalbyn - Wellington - TB

and Cross Road must be north I suppose then :D

lol pete, i dont count much of anything past flagstaff 'true' south either :D

from then on, its yuppy town till you hit the true northern ghetto, holden hill onwards haha :(

still a smartass i see :(

yes, it must be north then..... like was mentioned above, true south is from basically the victoria hotel through to the far south of victor harbour. cross roads is still flatlands, once you climb the hill you hit the start of "south".

the reason i mentioned town aswell was if im hauling a trailer with a car on it i dont want to be taking the windy tight hills way as you have to slow alot more for corners and any short term gain disapears. i want to come up to the foot of town and go via the sth eastern freeway where i can just gas it up to 110 and sit there. if you have traveled that route with a trailer you would know that it is actually quicker :P

I've said it once, and I'll say it again

Rhys... you're a dick.

-D

Rhys you're a complete cockstain. How you find it amusing to call yourself Bevan Spencer is beyond me.

Have you even considered that someone on this forum might be related or know one of the many victims?

Not funny at all really and to put it into your own terminology it = EPIC FAIL

this thread is now getting interesting

Not really, it's the same old shit with this forum. A few members aren't quite fond of the way a few other members have conducted themselves in the past so any time the latter post, the former feel the need to post up their disdain for those members, even if it has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Then a few others get on the hatin' wagon and there are some personal and general attacks thrown around then the offending posts get deleted and all parties silently vow to continue their epic struggle the next time they see their forum enemy post.

On a side note u suck andrew :( o yeah i said that

ur interupting krishys ep of "sau days of our lives"

so what its the same old story, all soap oprahs repeat the same issues over and over anyway

My mum won't be there, she'll be racing on this track they're thinking of building down at Tailem Bend. I haven't really heard much about it, is there a thread on it somewhere I can read?

/offtopic.

Ignore Petes suggestion. why head south from willunga to mt compass, then head north east to Strath?

its 10 kays longer and should only be done in a prime mover when your oversize.

how about

morphett vale crew , clarendon, meadows, strathabyn,wellington,TB

Further south, Willuga, Meadows, Strahalbyn, Wellington,TB

deap south victor harbour, goolwa by pass, strathabyn, wellington,TB

all take 1:15 - 1:30

no traffic and no cops.

Mallala and Gilman.

at least the same time and lots of cops and lots of traffic.

how about

morphett vale crew , clarendon, meadows, strathabyn,wellington,TB

Further south, Willuga, Meadows, Strahalbyn, Wellington,TB

deap south victor harbour, goolwa by pass, strathabyn, wellington,TB

yeah that's probably a better route.....just trying to tell him that coming into town is a waste of time

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
