A small time Australian bearing manufacturer makes the bearings that were specially engineered for NISMO's 24 hr endurance race program? I think not my friend. ACL don't even offer bearings to such fine tolerances as Nismo. Nismo has always made their own products and I hope always will. I have a fair bit of their stuff ad it is off the highest quality.
Nope, non adjustable only for the 32GTR.
Looks like the ARC ones come as a front and rear kit with all links, nuts, bolts, washers as any good japanese bolt on, kit. There is hope yet... Though looks like that hope comes at a price....
If you dont already have the 888's then get the bigger wheels first then shove some simi's on them (I use 255 RE55 on 9 inch rims). If you already have the tires though stick with that and go hard
You don't want to go to much larger then 225 on those rims, tire will end up being to large for the rim and it will walk around on the sidewall killing response.
If the brakes are in good condition and have good pads in them they are perfectly fine. I use my GTR at the track (Barbagallo) and so far have not had any braking issues at all. Brake setup is:
- Standard Calipers all round rebuilt with new seals, pistons inspected and all in good working order
- RDA rotors all round (group buy)
- Project Mu HC+ Pads all round (absolutly awesome pad, 10 laps and no fade. Have Run 2 track days on these and around 10 000 road KM's and still have around 70% pad left if not more).
- Nissmo Braided brake lines all round
- Rebuilt/sleeved brake master cylinder
- Cusco Brake master cylinder stopper
- RBF600 Fluid
Car is a 32 GTR and weighs 1510KG with 3/4 tank fuel and driver in it. Power is around the 300HP ATW mark
And here's why the standard engines wont happen:

Personally I think that standardising anything in f1 is nothing short of stupid
So whats the best solution to monitor actual knock then?
My knock sensors randomly have a spack (into mid 60's) and taking out timing does nothing, fuel is fine to
Whats the deal with the graph? Looks like the run is going from 80 to 140kph, what gear was that done in? I would take a guess at 3rd but that goes to 175kph at 8000 rpm
Yes, you lost fluid and let air into the system. You need to bleed the brakes properly now. I'm surprised it even stops after that, do it asap as its dangerous the way it is
Main thing I want to do is to go to an arm that should not wear itself out as fast, also currently running noltec arms and one of them is sqeeking like crazy which is annoying me so would like to go to a spherical joint arm, not many good ones of them are available for the 32 though.
