So, me and "da boiz" are going to go, go karting some weekend soon.

In Sydney only ever been to Eastern Creek karts way back when i was like 10, so i was driving the slowest ones there. Since then, been to the one at phillip island 2 years ago and that was awsome. so if you can compare any of the sydney tracks to this, then please do so.

Point to the thread - Are there any better go kart places in Sydney than Eastern Creek ??????(in terms of value, track awsomness and speed of karts)

Fastlane Karting in Minto is pretty good value and a fun track. Hard to master the track aswell and the karts are a bit shit but good enough to get sideways.

They also do events on certains days that are good value...always wanted to go but work or uni gets in the way.

Also compared to Eastern Creek, i think i was in the 2nd fastest karts at eastern when i went, Fastlane shits all over eastern creek in terms of price and karts but maybe not track.

Minto has brand-new karts 2-3montha old which has made thier nice little track much more fun

eastern creek has the biggest track and plenty of room for building up speed and passing

Picton has a great track and good karts which is great fun to try and master there's a great hairpin right at the start of the track that could see you do well or not then 2nd last corner could see you bog or kick arse as it's all up hill from there.

And if you like the sensation of sliding woodville indoor karts is some insane sliding fun. You don't lose speed and you can bum steer amd literally take corners at 90 degrees.

Picton is my pic of the bunch.

Have to check out windsor.

Windsor is very technical with plenty of opportunity to crisscross

What?

Oh right... Eastern Creek is lots of fun nice open track but expensive.

Kartattak near the airport is a bit small and indoors, but still alright for a bit of a bash.

Next one to try for me will be Butterfly Farm in Windsor which, judging by youtube clips, looks like a good track

Picton look the best overall, in terms of price karts and track

got 2 questions

question about picton, Who much HP are the karts, it says 211cc 4 Stroke but id like to know HP if anyone knows

question about Eastern Creek, Which track do they use the most???

heres a link to all the configurations at EC - http://www.easterncreekkarts.com.au/hire-circuit-map.php

Minto and Windsor only use 6hp karts, so thats why i probs wont go there.

Picton is no good if you're a fellow that is on the heavier side... The main straight is uphill.

And don't know about HP, they all seem to vary from each other so greatly (All hire Karts do) that there is no point asking!

Haha that is very true. Even racing karts, between rebuilds of engines many many tenths can be lost.

Went to picton today and it was awsome.

so true, found it very hard to master that hairpin, did a best of 42:38. Great track and good karts

im a light guy and on the corner right before the straight, as long as i got on the inside lane with some good speed i would fly past the heavier guys up the straight, like a baws.

You will do that even without taking the last corner that quick...

I'm a heavier guy and I think I was running 42.2 around there last time I went (About 8 weeks back now)

It's a good fun track, but you need a proper kart to have some real fun on it.

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
