Gokarting Now Booked For Fri 8 Aug 8pm Gepps Cross $50 Pay Bunny By 31 July


Recommended Posts

I'm looking at setting up a go karting towards the end of next month if there is enough interest,

It will be at the Richmond track as its most central and if we can get enough numbers (approx 30 people) we can look at doing one of the 180Lap races with driver changes. 3 drivers doing 3X20 Lap stints

Last time i went (and Ash) it was $45 a head (from memory)

Just sorting out work ect at the moment and will be able to set it up properly soon.

Once i know if there is some interest i will contact them and get more information like maximum and minimum numbers, cost and some available dates

cheers, Nick

if its teams of 3, can i suggest trying to get equal weight for each team, big fat bastards like me are at a real disadvantage in carts, so equal weight would make it a fair competition.

this was brought up by nightcrawler back when we were doing his turbo (so i have been thinking about this for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time)

i was going to suggest organizing team on the night to try and make an even playing field through out the carts.

I haven't found that to be true over the course of a race - I went last night and I was 10-15kg over most of my competitors and much less fit, off the grid they get away off the line quicker which pisses me off, but somehow I hold momentum and speed through the corners and maintained a podium position through it all.

thats called skill, just cause they are lighter doesn't make them better drivers

I'd like to think so but there's no need for the pillow talk!

The races can become very long and I had a lot of time to compare my lines to someone I was trying to overtake - there's a lot more to it, much of which is likely a series of minor misadjustments on a competitors kart, but there were 3 or 4 corners where I was always massively faster than anyone else that I thought there must be something else at work - like my love of steak!

    • you can enter your VIN (the original, japanese one) here to find the correct part#: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan however, after all this time it is more likely to be a wiring issue than the sender
    • no, it was the same here, just flurries but no need to get the toboggan out....but it is exactly the sort of days where its good to have some inside jobs on the list. Speaking of which the fuga is driving properly after 2 1/2 years.....but that is a whole other thread
    • And yes, put in the restrictor while you are there; a standard engine is fine with a little less oil and you are less likely to run out of oil if you have sustained high revs for any reason eg visit a track one day. How did you clean the cooling system
    • I didn't think about how a circle works before, dumb.  Before, I had .9mm restrictor bolts but I can't use these cause they were shorter aluminium bolts that just tear off their threads when tightening since the OEM lines are thicker than the shitty braided one that was installed previously. Now I use longer 1mm stainless steel restrictor bolts. I think the difference will not affect the health of the turbos, but I guess I'll have to drill out the main feed bolt as I agree multiple restrictions sound dodgy. The one that was installed with the braided line was just too short, but completely without a restrictive hole.
