mate u want a challenge go to cafe Go in morrabin alot of people complain about it being to small but its one of the most challenging tracks i have gone to and i have been carting for about 6 years now its challenging because the surface is slippery very hard to get a good time on the track and its nothing to do with speed pure driving skill.

The indoor one @ Port Melbourne is good, and the Moorabbin one is almost as good too.

I liked the Sunshine go-karts, and that would be fun in the wet. And I'm off to the Dandy south go-karts this weekend.

So with that my rating is...

(1)Sunshine

(2)Port Melbourne

(3)Moorabbin

Anybody know if the public can ever get on the big outdoor cart track in Port Melbourne beside the westgate bridge? I know they have proper race meets there etc but I thought they might do some days for the public?

Ace Karts is not too bad,

But my choice would be Silhouette on the Hume in Camblefield (I think that's where it is) Great track and if you have your own kart it's only $30 for as long as you like

Silhouette are the fastest IMO. Facilities are a little low rent, no fancy stuff like Ace Karts - But if you are just after quality go kart action - I highly recommend this place.

Its in the northern subs. on the Hume Hwy - just past the Ford factory.

Ive only been to these three.

1. Le Mans Dandy. Mad track lots of twists, good bends, you get the fast carts.

2. Ace Karts Sunshine. ok.. similar to Le Mans...as in main straight, all the bends on the right side, then big sweeper into main straigh. fun when wet.

1051. Karts in Shunshine Fun city. BOG MANG, wouldnt even spit on the track. Fun for kids but.

Ace karts track is ok if you get the supercarts, as they call them. I call a superkart the 250cc one's, but they call them 6.5HP which just out-pips my Honda lawnmower. Anyway, the only issue I have with them is they kick you off and ban you if they think you caused an accident. They are the true kart nazi's.

Nah you can't get out there Dave unless your a member of the club or get invited by a member. Having said that, I've driven it :D

yeah i got spun out and got lapped twice so when i got back on the track i wrung the karts neck trying to keep up to everyone.

out of nowhere the operator runs on the track. i slamm the breaks and swerve into the tyre barricades

he yells at me and says watch were your going!

i get out of the kart take me helmet off and unleash my large aray of insults at him.

WHO THE f**k runs onto the track like that and tells me its my fault?

part of the reason why i wont go there anymore

the other plus at Silhouette is it's open till 10pm and you can race under lights. I don't know what their rental karts are like though as we take our own, but the track is a lot of fun and you can get some real speed up on the straight! Plus you don't get brethalised like you do at Ace Karts. Went there once and had only had a can and tehy said I was drunk and not allowed to drive, I argued the fact and he said we will give you the bretho, I passed at .00 so suffer in his jox! HAHAHA!!

      How much roughly to convert stock r32gtr to single high mount turbo + ecu and tune

      -9s are discontinued supposedly. But you can still get Nismo R3 turbos which are something like a -7 but subtly different? -7s are also available. HKS GTIII-SS and GTIII-2530 are also available but they're journal bearing MHI turbos.

      Late to this party but here is your go to shop in perth - https://www.facebook.com/gsautoworksau GTSBOY is on the money cost wise, drive in and out will cost you 15-30k or more.    Some items that will save you money  - plug in link ecu g4x is much cheaper than haltech.   -Pulsar turbo, seem to be "OK" now, never used one myself You really don't have to build the motor, E85, headgasket, studs and a good RB26 will live for ever.    Swapping over the twins won't save much as you still need ecu, tune, fuel system etc.

      Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣

      Rv37 400r questions

      Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?

      If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
