Sweet, will keep an eye out for you! Be careful around Newcastle itself if your car is modified, the boys in blue had ruined the car scene up here due to the minority that spoilt it for all of us!

every time i fix something, something else breaks. every time i take it to the mechanic they find another 50 problems. however i havent really gotten my way with the car yet.

Haha maybe your car and mine were friends back in J land, sounds like the way mine was...... BUT its more because i modified the kent outta mine and kept breaking stock bits lol

would like to try formula Ford's.

How much for those?

and I doubt I'd fit in the cockpit.

its through those 'adrenalin' deals online. $350 gets you 10 laps around a small section of eastern creek (takes ~ less then 1min to complete a lap). because someone cancelled in our group we got 15 laps each, i would reccomend 20laps, as you do that in two parts.

its not the best thing ever, but is alot of fun. they are proper formula fords, but they put used wet tyres on?... and they may be detuned slightly?... but still went pretty hard and cornered well.

i think you would be fine fitting in. they have limits of like 120kg and 200cm or something like that.

sounds like a good day ant!

Paul has a go kart he takes to Cameron park.

looks alright but wakie is cheaper all day in something much faster ;)

really, i might need to hit him up... im heaps keen to give them a go.

i wouldnt say wakie is cheaper?... (i dont know the full costs of go karts yet though) but wear and tear on cars, even setting them up for track is very expensive. and karting you can actually enter races and be competitive as far as i understand, instead of just beating your own times etc..

not to say if i do get into karting i will never take the gtr on the track, there just two different things..

im guessing you could race all year in a go kart for maybe 5k or under including buying a kart?..

Alex races a kart too. loves it! He has the Evo but is converting that back from Time Attack spec back to a streetable nugget and just using the kart for fun as its so cheap!

Wakie isnt cheaper when you factor fuel, accomodation and track time, last time i went there it cost me $6500 :P lolz

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
