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.

Damn how can yas pay soooo much for go Karts? Ace Karts in sunshine are having a 10th Birthday celebration $50 all u want to ride all day!! Sunday 23rd may

www.acekarts.com.au

Theyre races are alot cheaper also has an outdoor track meaning its bigger and faster!!

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.

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.

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...

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
