Anyone for some Karting tomorrow nite?

Ok - heres the scoop.

A group of us have book at go-karting night tomorrow night at Go KartSports in Moorabin (the tricky indoor place). Unfortunately today a number of the guys have pulled out which has left us right on the minimum numbers - but another guy is away today ill so Im a little concerned.

So I am seeing if there are 2 people out there interested in coming Karting tomorrow night. Basically it is people from my work that are doing it - however both Ash and Noof will be doing it as well.

The details are as follows:

Where - Go KartSports - Chesterville Rd Moorabin

When - Friday 14th starting at 7:30pm

What - 3 races - 10lap qualifying - 2 x 15lap races

Cost - $92.

I'm really only looking for 2 people at this stage as the place has a minimum of 12 but a maximum of 16. We have 12 now but I dont want to fill all spots incase some of the pull outs changes their mind.

We'll all be having a drink at the venue afterwards. If you havent seen this place its pretty amazing! They video the races and then you watch them on large screens afterwards over a few beers for a laugh. The karts are quick (200cc) and the track is tuff (none of this foot to the floor all the way around shite) More details can be found at:

Mate there is apparently off street parking for the place.

Having said thay my GTR wont be coming - if only for the reason I have a NO Beer and Drive the GTR rule. Way too dangerous! Doubly so after a night of Karting! lol

Simon mate that can be done. I was asking for 2 knowing there was room for 3. So yeah - all sorted.

No I didnt ask Gerald cause he'll kick my ass! lol

Great stuff guys - all sorted. Its going to be a lot of fun. We'll probably organise another full SAU one later in the year.

Just want to say on behalf me & my bro inlaw, a big thanks to the snowman it was a great fun night. To Snowy, DJ, Ben & R31 you are really some nice guys and hope we can organise another one this time for the SAU boys.

A couple of things I noticed about tonight, Snowman is a real hustler pretending he "was" trying his best... Ash & Nathan, you guys were awesome showing off your rear wheel drive skills applying pressure on the GTR drivers, and as for that bloke what's his face.... aaah yeh! Ben, all I can say is you win some & you lose some, but did you have to win everything!!!! I thought a yellow meant slooooooow down, why was it that your car was the only one with Laaaaaaunch Control??? or is that a GTR driver's tactic. Then you go and aniliate the lap record for the day.. not fair :D.

As for me... at least us fat blokes weighing 100kg having some advantages I think it's called traction, something Ash & Nathan wouldn't know about.

Ok - Im still hurting from Friday night! LOL

But otherwise a big thanks to all that came along on the night. Ben it was great to meet you and you certainly kicked ass on the go kart track. Now I look forwards to moving the challenge to the race track mate (will send you PM today regarding Sandown)

If anyone has never been to this Karting track I'd have to recommend it. The facilities were by far and away the best I have seen for a karting venue even if the karts werent the fastest. The track made up for it by being very technical (11 turns in all) - oh and the karts were awesome for drifting. We were saying afterwards we'd be keen to have another SAU night there (its great cause its indoors with a good bar so it makes a great social venue) and maybe do something a little different like on of their endurance team races.

Will keep you posted on any plans. And after discovering the weight advantage at this place I'd better go eat some hamburgers in preparation!

Having a few extra kg to haul I never touch the low power indoor karts, but seriously recommend ACE in sunshine for races/timed laps and Somerton for the quickest hire karts in Melbourne. These are almost as quick as the old clubman kart I raced, just with a centrifugal clutch. Last time out I completely destroyed a left rear and was wrecked afterward. About $40 for 10 min (or was it 30-35) but a serious test if your are a little unfit as I have been with ruptured disc troubles for 8 months.

It was a sensational night wasnt it??!?!? :)

Well worth the $90 without a doubt. I dont care if some places are cheaper, the facilities and track at this place is wicked fun. The track is much more technical the Sunshine

LOL, i loved the dorifto, first time i've got sideways in anything for months!

I remember passing comment Nath said to me when we got out after qualifying.

Man, your just sideways all the time :)

So true lol! It's sensational fun, and an SAU day will have to be organised for SURE!

As for me... at least us fat blokes weighing 100kg having some advantages I think it's called traction, something Ash & Nathan wouldn't know about.

I told ya that weight made a difference. I just kept sliding all over the place till the tyres got warm lol!

And Ben, your banned from coming next time, your too good :) LOL! J/K

So stay tuned... SAU Karting championship will be coming...

    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
