I get my car back tomorrow finally all finished so I can't wait for this. Hopefully I can get through a day without incedent and take my first step in a big year of motorsports.
I can't wait.
Pete - some of us can actually power out of a corner propperly and consequently can carry a fair amount of speed by the time they reach turn 1.
I know you like to slide everywhere to mask your inability to drive fast. And consequently since it's something you've never experienced I can inform you that in a good powered GT-R with good rubber and good drive out of turn 10 - then you can't stop at turn 2 if you go flat through turn 1.
Um.... being a 300kw GTR this MAY not be possible. I know I sure can't go flat through turn 1. I have to dab the brakes before turn one - come off the brakes - straighten the car up again - then get back on the brakes.
The rest of Duncan's advice is sound - but that turn 1 advise I'd be a little cautious of!
Since I had to post up a pic of my dyno graph in the for sale thread of my turbo's I may as well post the results in here too. This was done just after I put the poncams in which increased the midrange heaps as you can see.
1999 R34 GT-R V Spec
HKS 2530 turbos
Aria Pistons
Tomei 260-9.15 poncams (int and ex)
Power FC
Cam Gears
Apexi Front Pipes
Blitz NUR cat back exhaust
Twin Apexi Pods
Everything is now back on the market as the previous buyers have had to pull out.
I've attached a copy of my last dyno graph taken in March this year when I had both the power fc and 2530's in the car. This should clear up any questions on power and response of these turbos.
I'm actually tempted to come up for this. Wouldn't mind a crack at the Go-to-Whoa and the motokhana comps.
Actually - addo - are the motokhana comps on grass or concrete?
I'm not getting an EVO. Why would I when I have Golgo's and Darkside's to belt around when I feel the need.
I'm looking forwards to mine and Blaises car-off in the Duttons this year. We should know once and for all which car is better for these events. Hopefully the GT-R will nevar lose.....
The first thing I have to do though is go to the drags and beat that 11.95.
