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.

      Garrett G Series

      Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.

      Sweet, yeah hoping stock gears will hold up. May use the transbrake feature on hill climb starts so that will test it.

      Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
