just a word of caution it will be organised at richmond kartmania

and the boys dont like when people are crashing and bashing their karts...

if you are deliberatly seen doing that they will kick you off their karts

What about drifting them? :P Last time I was there I was chucking it into the corner just after the straight as quick as I could and sliding the whole thing as it tightened up :(

Giving the brakes a huge stab coming into the corner after the back straight is a bit of fun too :D

Yeah I can imagine that'd be grounds for a talking to :P

It was only 2 karts on the track when I was doing so even if I lost all momentum (which is often in the slow Kart Mania rigs) then it wasn't a big deal :D I was just trying to get angles :(

Speaking of Go Karting, anyone been to Greenhills lately?

yeah ive been there older than that youngsta :( do they still have the big bouncy thing? it used to be a lil diff with a harder top making it better for getting crazy air

and yes dont bother with their go karts

spose its a good thing i was planning on pulling my engine out sometime soon. went down to the local bp to fill up, walking back to the 200 i noticed something dripping, so popped the hood, had a poke around, seem to be weeping coolant from around the turbo.

also had some old codger mumble to me (with my head in the engine bay) on his way past; "stupid hoons, hope your cars broken". :( stupid old codger doesnt even know me...

doesnt seem like much of a big deal though, just need to keep a couple litres of demineralised water in the car just in case.

And here's my "Holy Shit that's a pretty decent car that Uncle Daniel would love to have in his shed" links for the day:

A what?! http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul...hp?StockID=4727

pantera with a bodykit. would love a pantera, but the 'devil' seems a bit silly, really.

Love the Cosmo: http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul...hp?StockID=4719

much love for the cosmo. but daily fuel consumption to rival a C-17 globemaster on take off puts me off a little.

Did you hav ethe aircon on while you were going to the servo? If you did i think i know where the water was comming from.

oh, ive bought a set of pads for the s14 as i can hear the current ones squealing, nothing special, just something to keep my brakes going til i get my qfm's and rda's, but uh... ive never changed pads on 4 pot brakes before, so would anyone be willing be help out?

was going to buy a cosmo prior to the stagea

but couldnt even get behind the wheel - made for small people

tune tomorrow, just a quick little one. cant afford anything atm, bills to pay but no money

so, probably just an hour on the dyno mapping 2nd and 3rd gears, for air:fuel ratios and slight fuel/timing adjustments

got a set of 3-guages to go into a din slot, and the injector setup but no moolah to pay for install, yet

anyone interested in ecu eprom tunes?

eventually want to get a wideband sensor, rom tuner and muck around with mine, learn etc, then offer a service to remap r33's on a local dyno?

theyre pretty awesome... if you happen to own a petrol refinery. if you dont, well, youre screwed.

yeah, the fastest car I've been in was a Turbo rotary with 320rwkw. Awesome engines if you don't break apex seals!

i seriously think a decent 20B on idle would go toe-to-toe with a C17 on fuel consumption. ive driven a cosmo with a full exhaust, front mount, couple more pounds of boost, and i could see the fuel gauge dropping in peak traffic. its f**king crazy.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
