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!

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   :D   LOL!  J/K

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

I vote for Sunshine and try to do it short notice, say 4-5 days in advance to determine weather conditions. I have raced there in the wet though and it was awesome. Also taken the race kart out in the wet and discovered spin that politicians would lust after.

Great Idea, but I think the first rule should be who's allowed to race & who's not.

I say, the following people should be on the Banned from racing list.

a) Kev - Anyone that's seen him handle a car will understand, how he'll make a mockery out of ALL of us.

B) Ben - Coz, he just wins everything anyway, and he has laaaaaunch control :(

But Meshmesh my kart is not all that fast, anyone who knows about Karts will tell you that a Formula A Rotax Rotary Valve is slow compared to a hire Kart. :bs!:

Hire Kart 5 - 8 HP (Now that's some serious power !!)

Rotax Rotary Valve 32 HP, it only revs to 20,000 rpm (Gutless !!)

:P

Kev, I rekon even if we gave you the Hire Kart, and we had the Rotax, you'd still ripp something out of your hat, and blow us away. So give up... You're officially banned from racing :( OK! Unless offcourse Parliment change the legislation.

Kev mate - if you let me have a go in your kart Im there for sure. 20,000rpm sounds hella fun

It's also friggin expensive when the carby mixtures aren't set right !!

It's a little bit prone to seizing :P

BTW I just reminded Scott to get in contact with you

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
