Thanks,

I've been to a few club day meets down at Henderson and looking at getting a 30/32mm chassis with a Rotax/Leopard. Which catergory did you race..?

I wanted to go the 100S but it seems too troublesome needing a push start all the time, I want to be able to go out on my own and do a few laps when I want without needing someone to push start me all the time. Thats why I'm going the 125's.

Cheers,

I dont know wheter clubs in your area are mostly aka affiliated but next year i know the aka is enforcing that 125 drivers have a b grade licence which means you need to have 10 races under your belt other wise you cannot drive the rotax or leopard it is a high possibiltiy of this being put into motion so watch yourself you could have a kart but not be able to drive

Senior classes.....lots of unhappy 125 owners out there and this is creating lots of debate. 125 class for juniors is experimental and B class. As for push starting....trial and error and easier at Cockburn as its downhill...other tracks not so easy! Clutched versions of the 100 cc engines are availaable but at a cost. Drop me a PM if you need any further advise.

Cheers,

Michael

I am looking at selling my BMax with rebuilt 125 leopard as I just don't have time to use it anymore. Also have a 3 Kart side opening trailer but the setup will not be cheap.

Comes with Kart stand,Mychron 4 with data logging, spare rims, sprockets etc.

Send me a PM if you want to discuss prices.

Cheers

Ken

karting is great fun. best tip is to start out in the mid range karts and work your way up. the 125's are pretty punishing to start off with but it all depends on your size and background.

but give kartmart a buzz.. my parter Megan is the one behind the counter and she should be able to help you with your karting needs.

hurricane kart club is a good club to join as they dont charge members for practice use (except club runs etc) unlike the others.

also, for those with 125's, shifters and opens once every three months or so there will be meetings down at collie, contact kartmart or cockburn kart hire regarding this, the next one is at the start of december from memory. This is great fun as you get to max your kart out around most of the track :)

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
