Hmmm...Love that circuit, so smooooooth ('cept a bit of the north circuit), much more so than Wakefield and a fair bit of EC. Really, really makes me wanna go nutz modding the car to make it better on track days :sigh:

Sorry if I distracted youse all with my flame-thrower! *LOL*

If it's any consellation, my rear bar is f#@cked, hahaha.

P.s Fatz- how much for a RB30 Silvia? That thing was a machine!!

Can i ask where you got the 2nd hand slicks from?

also what size were they?

I currently have 18x9.5 rims with cheap crappy tyres on at the moment. But i would buy a set of R32 GTR rims for the track day and put semi/slicks on if the tyres were affordable

Or maybe some kind person would lend me a set for the day - anyone have spares?

That means if I had been running on slicks, i probably would have been as quick as you in my 13y.o, non-vspec R32, on my first time at OP! :bunny:

...or not.

woah! I've gotta get me some good tyres! :bunny:

ps- your car looked awesome on the track Paul!

I had a friend that run a GT3 in the porche cup last year, they were just sitting around in his garage. The fronts are 18x9 240's and the rears are 18 x 11 290's. The front tyres fit on the original R34 GTR rims, a little small but they do fit. I paid the perfect price $0.

Its like that old saying its not what you know but who you know.

I have about 1-2 track days left on the once I used on Sat and I think I have 3 more pairs of fronts to use after that. Sorry these are not for sale, but when I pick up the rest of them I will try and get some numbes and attempt to source some more for everyone, even if we have to pay $100 per tyre, they would be fantastic for what we do with them.

I will post up if I get any success.

Good time ther Paul L on SLICKS. I ran Hoosier Semi Slicks which are very good although wrong profile as nto enough side wall in rear and wheelspinning a lot as not enough cushion effect I think.

Anyone going to Eastern Creek Next Sunday for Super Sprint? I will there.

Time are here Speed Boat Wins.

It felt pretty good on the day.. my best time was a 1:29.50. My first ever run on a track though, so there is some room for improvement with some decent tyres (Wan Li brand tyres on there at the moment! *Shudder*)

Thanks for the info dude! Very good setup, exactly what I am after! Hopefully will have something very similar in the Cefiro.

PS Cheers Steve for the PM! :bunny:

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
