A select few of you here know the details of what i have planned and the actual specifics that go along with it, now unless you've living under a rock for the past few months you'll have picked up that it will indeed be sporting the big GTR badge.

However, my dilema is that i simply have not driven one yet. Now i don't want to go around to dealerships or individual sellers under the false flag that I am ready to make a purchase, it's disrespectful and dishonest.

So essentially I'd really appreciate it if one of our members could let me take theirs for a spin, I don't need to drive Jun's (although i would'nt decline the offer hahaha) It doesn't even need to be modded, I just want to drive one before mine hits the road some time from now and to inspire me to work harder whilst I'm getting it ready.

So if anyone in our beloved crew could give me some of their time to let me take their GTR for a drive I'd really appreciate it, on your terms, at your time, wherever suits you.

I could really use the inspiration so any opportunity would be hugely appreciated, i know it's a big ask......

I was considering letting u drive it since u live around the coner but then i thought it wouldnt be a good example for you with the sequential trans and the quad plate clutch it just wouldnt be fair for u it might turn u off 32's and id hate for that to happen.

You're right there is a calculated risk of me losing my passion for 32's but you know something.....I'm prepared to take that risk, shall we say around 8 this evening? lol :lol:

I actually wouldn't mind popping round just to have a look at it, i've never even seen the bloody thing!

      I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
