Really depends on price and whats involved in the package for me......

I am interested, but I'm not driving 2 hours for an hours worth of expensive karting, when I could go 30mins down the road here and race around in a cheap kart.

So yeah, interested, but depends on package details.

speaking out of experience...

Eastern Creek Karts your looking at paying around $170-190 per person for a 3 hour "mini grand prix" session.

on the other hand....

you can go to Fastlane @ Minto [where i held the ns.com go kart day] and it ended up being like $45 per person, for the same sort of event.

I think the general thought of paying the EC price is that for that sort of money you could attend a track day / wsid day etc and use your own car.

everyone had fun, everyone thought it was value for money which was also important!

i think they do max 50 pple at a time there though.

here is the thread if you want any info...

as you can see from the general response everyone enjoyed themselves which i mean for $45 is pretty damn good :P

oh here are some pics also for those who have never seen the track before.

Whats the quality of the Minto Karts/track like though?

I did an SAU Corporate day about 18mths ago and the day was very good. From memory it was 3 heat runs and a final grand prix all with decent karts and the timing system.

Possible interest here.

Im interested in $50,

But certianly not $175

What karts do they have at minto?

2-Stroke racing?

The best karts i have ever been on where on the way to Port Macquarie, they were raching 125cc 2-stroke cars the ones i use to race on and they were awsome...

Have the minto ones got a speed limiter?

Id be keen... just about any evening Mon-Sun.

Minto is crap. Its slow and you do not even need you brakes. $50 is good value but id prefer to spend the $150. (Although the trophy i got from the last corporate day there is pretty good -heheh).

I was going to go to a 4 hour (or was i 6 hour?) enduro at easterncreek with another club last year. Im pretty sure it was $150 each for 4 hours of action. However you had to be in teams of 4 and you divided your time between the 4. Full pits stops, qualifying.

You need a minimum of 30 people.

You also had to pay like $15 for your license (which include 5 minutes in the slower karts). Then you can drive the faster karts on the day.

i am keen on a team enduro session. would be awesome fun, and then you can share the cost amongst a couple of mates (say 3 man or 4 man teams).

Dan tried to organise this last year but everyone said yeah i'll come, then bailed when it was time to pony up the dough.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
