Depending on the date, I should be down for this.

I did some looking into with these two activities (ie. paintballing & go-karting) when I was considering what we could do for the next SAU social event but, seems you beat me to it Nick :wave:

Thought I'd share some of the places on offer:

> Paintball Sports - Has several locations down south. I've been to the Kuitpo Field & played several of their scenarios & had a blast.

> Paintball Park - in Elizabeth West - Tried out one with joint fields. Has modern layout & facilities.

> Paintball Adventures - in Gawler. Haven't been yet.

There are others (eg. Indoor Paintball, Pt Adelaide & Skirmish SA) but, didn't find them that great. To make it worthwhile would have to make a full day out of it - skirmish & BBQ.

Go-Karting:

> Kart Mania, Richmond

Kart Mania, Gepps Cross - Fairly booked out if planning a Grand Prix format in April. Apparently no longer has the bridge to drift on :kiss:

> Ports Elliot Pits - Fast track, not a fan of the pot holes but, the 2 strokes are fun. Hopefully they've forgotten my little incident where we were booted off the track :glare::kiss:

:wave: i just noyiced you said "poor OLD Amanda" damn it, i'm not OLD yet :glare:

> Paintball Adventures - in Gawler. Haven't been yet.

There are others (eg. Indoor Paintball, Pt Adelaide & Skirmish SA, Henley Beach) but, didn't find them that great. To make it worthwhile would have to make at least half a day out of it - skirmish & BBQ.

oh wow I didn't know there was a paintball thing just out of Gawler

i think choose Gawler for paintballing coz then i don't have far to travel :kiss: :kiss:

paintball sounds good to me.

id recommend the field in eliz, it isnt huge, but the prices are pretty decent, cant remember exactly how much, but it was stupidly cheap compared to say, pt adelaide.

but then, ive never been go karting before... so im pretty keen on that, lol.

yeah i spoke to andrew about this over the weekend and he kindly pointed out the issues he has had in the past with trying to set up a paintball session.

A - price

B - Deposit (going on past experience there is always a large list and only a handfull turn up)

but then again go karting has its issue due to the karts being so uneven it not funny then theres the weight problem. I remeber that lonsdale used to do 80lap races where you pair up and do 20 lap stints which helped to even out the wieght issue as you can pair up accordingly.

so i'll still look into a few things before anything is sorted out (may just try and take advantage of the good weather and have a BBQ at victor ect before winter sets in )

As stated in my other post.

I can get cheaper prices then listed on the site.

My ex gf works with the part owner of this paintball place.

Have a look see.

Paintball Fever

I will need numbers in who is keen to come. And a deposit from everyone that is keen.

I also understand that its going to be a long and expensive day again. Im more worried about the driveway to the area as it is all dirty roads. :rofl:

i thought you said your friend was down south..

that site is out past the other end of the world....

the trouble with that place tho is its all flat man made field's.

the places down south are all hilly with natural courses with creeks etc.

it makes it a lot more fun when you not only have to look left and right but up and down also.

for people that havent been before, camo clothing is all provided within the initial startup cost.

and for those that dont want to stick there head up i might have to get a few paint grenades...

there allways fun...

cheers

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
