Hi Guys just wanted to let you all know of the new go kart hire joint that opened up in the south burnett, Its located in Nanango, about 23kms from Kingaroy, 2.5hrs drive from Brisbane. Its very well priced considering the places around Brissie and the coast are over 100 bucks for a decent go, Its on the Road leaving town towards yarraman/blackbutt past the BP and the Park.

The prices are as follows,

10 Mins $10

15 Mins $15

30 Mins $28

The karts go well and arent slow ive been on a few around the area, Caloundra and some in brisbane and these blow them away.

At the moment there are only 1 Kind of karts, soon an addition of another 10 faster karts will be introduced for those who can beat the lap time set in the standard karts.

The track is in awesome condition, there is a canteen. Helmets are supplied although you can bring your own.

I was there on the weekend and it was great saw another line too a white 33.

Contact details are:

Phone : 41710040

Opening times are :

Mondays to Thursdays ... 12:00am till 7:00pm

Fridays ......................... 12:00am till 9:00pm

Saturdays .....................10:00am till 9:00pm

Sundays ....................... 10:00am till 7:00pm

Great fun for the whole family there is even a small track and a kiddies kart as well.

The business is owned and run by my uncle and aunty (5 years in the making but well worth it).. Check it out next time anyone is up that way.

Do you know the specs of the karts? If you're comparing them to the ones of "The Big Kart Track" at Lansborough, i'd hope they're faster, you can hold it flat to the floor the entire way around their track lol.

I am going to ask the specs next time im up there but you cant hold it flat on these, When he first opened too many people were loosing it so he had to turn alot of the power down on the engines, He has a few ones that are still fast but you have to show u can handle the slower ones first (That are still fast), And yes they are alot faster then the big kart track ones. Its worth the drive to just go there other then the Big Kart Track.

Yes its about 2hrs-2.5hrs drive so its a bit of fuel but like i said well worth it. Even though its my familys business I think they have done a better job then the existing ones down here, and the more people that go, He said if it gets big enough he will make a bigger track (there is plenty of room) the tracks already big enough but yeah. Also the karts will get faster and faster.

3 Sets of karts 1 Standard 2 Faster and 3 high output ones so i was told.

    • The easiest option might be to just spray a bunch of fish oil in there.  At least that way you can feel like you've done something while you continue to ignore it
    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
