After the success of the first combined supra/ skyline dyno day it was decided that we should again invite the skyline boys and girls to a less competitive (maybe) social day with go-karts @ Hume and then lunch at the Kingo.

Dates are still to be confirmed however at this stage we would be looking at Sunday 27th June or 4th July. We will start around 9am so hopefully all races will have finished around lunch time.

Hume karts centre has requested the full payment and confirmed numbers 2 weeks before the event. Each race will have 10 people and run for approximately 10 minutes.

This is a social type event so owners and drivers are both welcome :) This also includes partners!

I’d like to gauge some numbers by Wednesday 16th June. Please put your name on the list below and nominate which day suites you most, majority wins.

For those who want to consume alcohol at the lunch please remember to have someone else drive!

As Kat has mentioned. To hold a place you will need to pay up front. It is much easier for us to book and hold the time for us. simply showing up risks not being able to get people on, the general public joining our races and the whole event could drag out for many hours.

I have orgainised a couple of these events in the past and trust me there is nothing worse then spending time trying to update the thread 5 times a day for 3 weeks to find 80% of the people dont show up, or run late etc.

Our club has started a blacklist for people who say they will be there on the internet but wont show up to the event as we're sick of the drop outs or no shows. If you dont show up the only one missing out will be the individuals wallet. Obviously sometimes unexpected personal issues can arise for which we have no problem.

After the 16th i will be confirming numbers. All payments will need to be made within 1 week to avoid being removed from the list and potentially removed from future social events.

I'm keen. Its always a good day out for car clubs. 10 on the track at once though will be very crowded! I know, I used to work there!! However, with large groups its unavoidable.... Prefer 27th June.

Yeah right! I'm so out of practice even Mick would have a chance! Nah.. I'm not that outta practice... :banana: jks

Seriously though, it all comes down to how good your kart is. That line of ".. They're all the same.." is a croc of sh1t.

    • Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.
    • He's still joining you, he's just delayed it and won't have the fulleh sick ITBs...
    • The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.
    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
    • So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?
