Hey Guys,

I purchased this a few years ago, I am looking at purchasing another car so thought I would throw it up to see if there was any interest to add some coin to the kitty.

I got it without a motor and it remains without a motor. I purchased it from the Car Doctor (who also sells karts etc) and have not used in in the 4yrs that I have had it.

Here are some shitty pics. if you would like more information, please let me know.

Specs I do know...

TopKart

All but motor

Seat is suitable for child or skinny bloke. I squeeze in tightly (was a loose fit but am now 75kg (fatty :O ) - 5ft 8"

you could contact the car doctor... he would be able to point you in the right direction for a new or used motor.

I believe it is a J engine, but I think you could use any go-kart motor really... just depends what you want to do with it... I was actually thinking about putting some big rims on it and using on the grass.

do you know what sort of motor you need for it? or where to get one to pop straight in? cheers

J & clubman are pretty cheap new & 2nd hand or you could strap a 5+hp lawn mower engine on it :D

Unless your thinking about racing i wouldn't worry too much about what motor you use if its only going to be for fun. You would probably be better steering away from a proper kart motor if its just going to be a weekend toy.

"IF" you really wanted to bite the bullet it would make a great base for shifter kart :P

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?  
    • I got the Repco video recommended on YouTube.  
    • Welcome Mark. Do you have a Skyline or are you looking to get one?
