Depending on the date, I should be down for this.

I did some looking into with these two activities (ie. paintballing & go-karting) when I was considering what we could do for the next SAU social event but, seems you beat me to it Nick :wave:

Thought I'd share some of the places on offer:

> Paintball Sports - Has several locations down south. I've been to the Kuitpo Field & played several of their scenarios & had a blast.

> Paintball Park - in Elizabeth West - Tried out one with joint fields. Has modern layout & facilities.

> Paintball Adventures - in Gawler. Haven't been yet.

There are others (eg. Indoor Paintball, Pt Adelaide & Skirmish SA) but, didn't find them that great. To make it worthwhile would have to make a full day out of it - skirmish & BBQ.

Go-Karting:

> Kart Mania, Richmond

Kart Mania, Gepps Cross - Fairly booked out if planning a Grand Prix format in April. Apparently no longer has the bridge to drift on :kiss:

> Ports Elliot Pits - Fast track, not a fan of the pot holes but, the 2 strokes are fun. Hopefully they've forgotten my little incident where we were booted off the track :glare::kiss:

:wave: i just noyiced you said "poor OLD Amanda" damn it, i'm not OLD yet :glare:

> Paintball Adventures - in Gawler. Haven't been yet.

There are others (eg. Indoor Paintball, Pt Adelaide & Skirmish SA, Henley Beach) but, didn't find them that great. To make it worthwhile would have to make at least half a day out of it - skirmish & BBQ.

oh wow I didn't know there was a paintball thing just out of Gawler

i think choose Gawler for paintballing coz then i don't have far to travel :kiss: :kiss:

paintball sounds good to me.

id recommend the field in eliz, it isnt huge, but the prices are pretty decent, cant remember exactly how much, but it was stupidly cheap compared to say, pt adelaide.

but then, ive never been go karting before... so im pretty keen on that, lol.

yeah i spoke to andrew about this over the weekend and he kindly pointed out the issues he has had in the past with trying to set up a paintball session.

A - price

B - Deposit (going on past experience there is always a large list and only a handfull turn up)

but then again go karting has its issue due to the karts being so uneven it not funny then theres the weight problem. I remeber that lonsdale used to do 80lap races where you pair up and do 20 lap stints which helped to even out the wieght issue as you can pair up accordingly.

so i'll still look into a few things before anything is sorted out (may just try and take advantage of the good weather and have a BBQ at victor ect before winter sets in )

As stated in my other post.

I can get cheaper prices then listed on the site.

My ex gf works with the part owner of this paintball place.

Have a look see.

Paintball Fever

I will need numbers in who is keen to come. And a deposit from everyone that is keen.

I also understand that its going to be a long and expensive day again. Im more worried about the driveway to the area as it is all dirty roads. :rofl:

i thought you said your friend was down south..

that site is out past the other end of the world....

the trouble with that place tho is its all flat man made field's.

the places down south are all hilly with natural courses with creeks etc.

it makes it a lot more fun when you not only have to look left and right but up and down also.

for people that havent been before, camo clothing is all provided within the initial startup cost.

and for those that dont want to stick there head up i might have to get a few paint grenades...

there allways fun...

cheers

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
