Heya

I have been a motorsport enthusiast for quite a long time, however, one of the aspects that has recently taken my attention is karting, and is something i would really like to become involved with. I live in Adelaide, SA and i'm not quite sure if there are any clubs around adelaide, i haven't been able to find any on the yellowpages, any help with what i will need, (kart, helmet, etc?) where i will need to go to get them and where to go for training, lessons, clubs and that sort of thing would be very much appreciated.

Cheers.

Arky.

Here's a list of clubs in SA - http://www.iwt.com.au/SAclubs.htm

Dont think its on the list but, theres also Angas Go Kart Club near Strathalbyn.

Recommend you look at Southern Sprint Kart Club's website, has all the basics you need to know to get started :). Hope you dont mind travelling long distances coz, theres plenty of it at club comp level.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I am probably calling this too early but I think I found what part of my problem is. I have a couple of dents that are fairly close to each other and I tried to fix them individually. Recently I put one larger coat across all the dents and sanded it and for the first time ever it's all even except for the edge where the bare metal is, I just need to put some putty there. I'm ordering some better longer blocks that are more flexible. Other good news is that the other repairs on my panel are flat even with the guidecoat. It's these 2 dents which are an absolute c*nt l lol.

      Murray will have better input, but I'd be going with less filler, and aimed at the low spots mainly, and hence won't need as much sanding, which then means get the guide coat on earlier. That's how I'd do it, BUT, I'm not a pro, I'm a DIY hack who will then get the shits halfway through, and have one spot awesomely repaired, and the other spots look like a 3 year old was left unsupervised with workshop tools...

      GTX2867R GEN 2 NO OUTPUT FOR BOOST SOLENOID

      Where is the most common place to locate it? Disappointing that Garrett won’t make a fitting for it since they know everyone will use it

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
