Go-Karting went well last Friday night at Hume 'SuperKarts' along with J-Racing. Disappointingly, the man who was in charge was a complete A$$H^$# to us. All the feedback that I have received were all the same, I mean we all had a good night and all especially in the wet but this guy certainly made the night a low. He was rude, hot tempered, and was evident that he showed no respect towards his customers. Considering the amounts of times I have visited in the past, I am very disappointed along with many other people and do not recommend 'Superkarts' in Hume to anybody else. But, I do thank the staff who were very helpful & friendly and I hope their employer do learn from his employees.

Does anyone else know any other Go-Karting places around Canberra as we want this to be a regular event. I know there is one in Fyshwick and I look forward to visit there in the very near future along with people who are interested to join us.

I've been going to Hume for ages too, and I've never had a bad experience with them. Maybe you just got him on an off day?

There used to be a place in Mitchell but it went bust many years ago. There is a dirt go-karting place down the sth. coast which is pretty cool, but a long way to drive! :D

I'm disappointed to hear your experience was so bad at Hume, but did anyone tell you that the day after your bad experience, the business went under new ownership?

I recall that exact evening - I was one of the new owners and we arrived to finalise all of the paperwork for our takeover of the business on 22 February.......

Give us, the new owners, a chance. If you have reason to not believe me about the new ownership, please feel free to ask any number of regulars - most of them are familiar with us now and are aware of it, and although coincidental, took place the day after your bad experience.

Director, Superkarts

I like hume coz its got more space, the fyshwick carts are good, but its cramped and a lap only takes 26-28secs at the very most, its fun, but hume is definately a less repetitive track, i must go there again, i never have any cash lol

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
