I have to ask the silly questions :P

so as I understand it, it's $320 per kart, so if I have say 4 drivers it would be $80 each?

2nd question is for those that have done the race before, how many 'forced' pit stops are there i.e. for fuel, etc. and how many times did you have to stop in the race? I'm just trying to work out how/when driver changes should be done.

Correct for the kart question, but 4 drivers would put you at a dis-advantage as it's an extra 2 pit-stops to change drivers. Not having done this before I can't answer the other question, but the driver change should be in the middle of the race so both drivers have an equal amount of time out there, paying the same amount of money after all :P

If you veer off into the dirt you will get a flag waved at as just as you PASS the pit lane (for some reason) meaning you have to pit for a chain re-oiling, keeps dem inner working sprightly.

2 drivers is best, you will realise that time flies when your on the track and 22 minutes per driver, with 4 drivers is 8 minutes less track time than we had at the first outing.

2 drivers sounds good, but I don't think they would be in it to win it so to speak, so my options are to find someone that wants to do it competitively or go there with a few mates and perhaps have a bit of fun rather than all out attack, in which case having many pit stops won't be of any real concern.

There's not too many people who can handle 45min in a Kart that is vibrating to buggery, so you'll find even with two drivers you'll pit a couple times each.

True that!

I spent 28 minutes in the kart at the first event and does tend to make the body hurt.

However, having Mike as the *cough* team boss, i was in no position to argue with him.

(Have you seen the size of him??????????)

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
