i am definately keen on this......maybe you could do a 3 or 4 per team doing a total of 300 or so laps......and trust me it gets to ya....specially when your body is warning up and then cooling down.....not so good......but last time I did a endurance go kart race it was awesome.....gota love the driver changes makes things very interesting and also you can make so many mistakes during that bit as well....those guys at richmond run all of their grand prix's really well.....I have held a total of about 5 or 6 grand prix at richmond and everyone involved really enjoyed it....

so I am in!!!!

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!

hahaha

like you were saying on AE the biggest weight advantage is getting it off the line, once its going its up to the driver to keep the speed.

its also in the luck of the go karts. last time we were lucky enough to get a good one, whilst one of the other had a accelerator cable snap on lap 3

I'd be keen seeing as i live around the corner from it! From memory the people that weighed more were flying.... the light people had no proper grip

Yeh cos the tyres they use are from about 2 years old!! :)

I really does come down to which Kart you get, if its got a shit tune then its gonna be shit!!

hah haaaaaaa!! victory for us big dudes!

(I'm in) heh

you know I am up for it mate!

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.

haha yes, as Nick reiterated I have suggest this before. Little runty fellas like Nick and MattR get in and rape us fat blokes - those little engines don't produce enough torque to get us fatties going again when we slow down.

Yep agree on the 3 driver change Grand Prix format at Richmond - it is heaps of fun!

yeah im in for sure, me and Flick was going to organise this but we got slack was going to be SAU vs CSA but yeah ....:erm:

how about we all submit our weight via PM to nick and he can calculate teams to have and average weight of 200- 280kgs

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.

beat me to it also nick, was looking at planning one soon. Im definately in for this, never done the richmond track so should be fun. Isnt it only 3 drivers to a kart if you have over 20? or something like that.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
