Nismo_Boy,

Put me down, I live 5 mins away from the BKT so I will be there. If we can organise it, a wet day or a night race is best. More fun.

I think we can organise something if we have a group of 8 or more, but I can check.

**Update - I just rang BKT - Price is $44 an hour, with 12 or more it is 10% off, so $40 an hour with 12 or more people**

I can also bring a fair few guys (not all have Skylines, but doesn't matter on a kart day does it??).

Anyway excellent idea dude, us Sunny Coast boys and girls got to get some more events going.

To everyone who doesn't know The Big Kart Track is on the Glasshouse Mountains Tourist Drive, 2 mins out of Landsborough, 12 mins north of Australia Zoo (Steve the Croc Hunter)

From North Brisbane, probably about 50mins drive with medium to light traffic.

Cheers.

Tim

Guys, i think you are much better off going to a kart track in brissy. Yeah the big kart track is fun, but F*CK its SLOW! You can get some slides happening, but with the lawnmower pull start jobbies they use, you go nowhere fast. Its REALLY good in the rain though....slicks.

i strongly recomment some fast brissy karts, archerfield have some i think, a ring around would be a good idea.

(been on big kart track many times)

Hi guys/girls,

I have to agree with you, BKT is definately slow. I think Nismo was planning something so we could have it up here, since it would take him about 50mis just to get to BKT let alone Brissy.

However I'm willing to go just about anywhere (except Goldie, a bit far on a Friday night), Archerfield would be sweet.

Let us know what you guys want, I'm open.

yeah that was the plan, but if my mates want to go to bris (there my left there) i'll still be in.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
