Yup, I am in Australia, Queensland to be precise. Happy to give you some tips on things to do and see when you get here. Now is a good time to visit as the exchange rate is in your favour.
I opted for Zeva electronics to replace my old (blown) system as I liked the idea of local (Australian) support. So far I have been very happy with the product and the support. Here is their web site:

I purchased:
1x EVMS Core
1x EVMS Monitor
4x 12BMS modules
1X MC1000C controller
Feb 12 is my next event so I am really looking forward to giving this system a more thorough test. Up and down my driveway just doesn't prove anything.
The car was about 530KG when I achieved those speeds. 650KG with driver. But again that was with the old controller which was not up to the task plus gave very little in the way of information about what was happenning. All I know is the launch was excellent, 2nd gear was acceptable but 3rd or 4th were terrible. Hardly any accelleration at all past 45mph. There are really only 3 components that could limit performance: motor, controller and batteries. The ADC 9inch is a stonking big motor that is capable of driving a 1000KG car quite well so unless there is an unseen issue with it I can pretty much discount that as the limiting factor. The batteries have never produced any noticable heat, so that means they are not being stressed. So that leaves me with the old controller as being my limiting factor. Not to mention it eventually went bang.
You can see all my videos including test runs by searching Youtube for Full Charge Motorsport. The khanacross runs are the ones which demonstrate the top speed limit. Plus there was another video when I was specifically testing top speed on the drag strip. Keep in mind the speeds are all in KMPH.
As a side note: At the first event using the new controller I didn't realise it was resetting back to the defaults between runs (due to the way I wired it). So the default settings were limiting the motor amps to 500. But I was still getting better performance than the previous controller. So this time around I am expecting to set the limit at around 800amp (to start with). I should see significant performance improvements.
There are various graphs showing torque output of the various motors. Try tracking one down. I don't think torque will be an issue for you. More likely the limiting factor will be the power required to overcome the aerodynamic drag that increases with speed. This is also playing a part in my car as mine is effectively shaped like a brick.
