Gokarting Now Booked For Fri 8 Aug 8pm Gepps Cross $50 Pay Bunny By 31 July


Recommended Posts

I'm looking at setting up a go karting towards the end of next month if there is enough interest,

It will be at the Richmond track as its most central and if we can get enough numbers (approx 30 people) we can look at doing one of the 180Lap races with driver changes. 3 drivers doing 3X20 Lap stints

Last time i went (and Ash) it was $45 a head (from memory)

Just sorting out work ect at the moment and will be able to set it up properly soon.

Once i know if there is some interest i will contact them and get more information like maximum and minimum numbers, cost and some available dates

cheers, Nick

if its teams of 3, can i suggest trying to get equal weight for each team, big fat bastards like me are at a real disadvantage in carts, so equal weight would make it a fair competition.

this was brought up by nightcrawler back when we were doing his turbo (so i have been thinking about this for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time)

i was going to suggest organizing team on the night to try and make an even playing field through out the carts.

I haven't found that to be true over the course of a race - I went last night and I was 10-15kg over most of my competitors and much less fit, off the grid they get away off the line quicker which pisses me off, but somehow I hold momentum and speed through the corners and maintained a podium position through it all.

thats called skill, just cause they are lighter doesn't make them better drivers

I'd like to think so but there's no need for the pillow talk!

The races can become very long and I had a lot of time to compare my lines to someone I was trying to overtake - there's a lot more to it, much of which is likely a series of minor misadjustments on a competitors kart, but there were 3 or 4 corners where I was always massively faster than anyone else that I thought there must be something else at work - like my love of steak!

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
