every time i fix something, something else breaks. every time i take it to the mechanic they find another 50 problems. however i havent really gotten my way with the car yet.

Haha maybe your car and mine were friends back in J land, sounds like the way mine was...... BUT its more because i modified the kent outta mine and kept breaking stock bits lol

yep...you made it sooooooGATTTTTEEEEEooooooo much better....but ruined it at the same time :-)

Had a go at formula fords today.

Think im going to get into karts, going to try organise a try day at cameron park, let me know if anyone would be interested in coming along

Interested...

150 for 3x10 lap sesions, last one is timed and ranked.

Need 10ppl and is through the week...

Not a bad deal.... I'll be stuck at work for the next couple of months tho... So not likely to be able too :/

would like to try formula Ford's.

How much for those?

and I doubt I'd fit in the cockpit.

its through those 'adrenalin' deals online. $350 gets you 10 laps around a small section of eastern creek (takes ~ less then 1min to complete a lap). because someone cancelled in our group we got 15 laps each, i would reccomend 20laps, as you do that in two parts.

its not the best thing ever, but is alot of fun. they are proper formula fords, but they put used wet tyres on?... and they may be detuned slightly?... but still went pretty hard and cornered well.

i think you would be fine fitting in. they have limits of like 120kg and 200cm or something like that.

sounds like a good day ant!

Paul has a go kart he takes to Cameron park.

looks alright but wakie is cheaper all day in something much faster ;)

really, i might need to hit him up... im heaps keen to give them a go.

i wouldnt say wakie is cheaper?... (i dont know the full costs of go karts yet though) but wear and tear on cars, even setting them up for track is very expensive. and karting you can actually enter races and be competitive as far as i understand, instead of just beating your own times etc..

not to say if i do get into karting i will never take the gtr on the track, there just two different things..

im guessing you could race all year in a go kart for maybe 5k or under including buying a kart?..

Alex races a kart too. loves it! He has the Evo but is converting that back from Time Attack spec back to a streetable nugget and just using the kart for fun as its so cheap!

Wakie isnt cheaper when you factor fuel, accomodation and track time, last time i went there it cost me $6500 :P lolz

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.
    • I am a volunteer marshal at the Grand Prix. As such, I get a "friend / family" ticket. It is a general admission ticket, valid for all 4 days. Anyone interested in my spare pass, please DM me. Ticket is "free, gratis and no expense".
    • agreed, the price vs gains it’s there.   unless you go china supercharger. Temu racing anyone?😂https://www.facebook.com/share/15nkfpsg7Z/?mibextid=wwXIfr that was one of the ones that popped up on my feed 😂
    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
