For the record, i think they sell them when they are no longer any use to them...so they have gone off to the point where they dont even get any usefel data to go testing on them. That probably means they are a tenth or two per km off their norm, which can equate to 0.5-1.0second per lap. How that matches up to new semis i have no idea, i have just always noted that guys on slicks are usually slower then guys on semis...perhaps not the case anymore. It has just been an obsevation of mine as the technical aspect of what makes cars go quick is what i find interesting. Proves the golden rule though, if you want to go quick then its all about the tyres.

Its all good Troy, i just feel like the way people talk about used slicks is that they are similar to street tyres....

If JP invests in some new RE55S's, he might be good for a 1:41!! :P

Snowy - well said, bring on Round 2!!!! :yes:

I give all of my credit to my new found wang. It slowed my speed down enough down the straight so my brakes didn't cook and did nothing noticable in the corners so the car handled as it alway did.

There are a few pics where it looks like it could be bending your boot lid :D

Roy - do you really think the carrera cup guys hang on to their tyres for a year and then sell them?? They're lucky if they see more than 2 races due to the level of competition, so I don't think they are trying to save on tyres and use them till they're f(cked. Paul told me that usually they get a new set of tyres after each meeting, so alot of the tyres are in fair condition, not to the point where they are useless..

He even mentioned that some of the used sets have come off cars which had mechanical failure or accident damage and had only done about 20 or so laps, and new tyres are put on for the next event.

T04GTR - what excuses are you talking about?? and how many laps have the guys driving the civic and starlet done at EC?? Are you saying that we are shit drivers and should be doing better?? Not sure what you are trying to say but let us know coz its a bit unclear on what you're on about...

Anyway, this is not a dick swinging contest, we put in the effort and went to have some fun at a different track, and I believe was a huge success. Don't really care if anybody thinks we should have gone faster or slower because of the money we have spent on our cars, we had fun and the cars came back in 1 piece, that's all that matters...

N1GTR - yep, 2560R's on 19psi...

oh yess. i was making a general comment aimed at roy in a comical way about how there always an excuse for not doing the times you want or someone else doing better.

shit drivers? on the contuary sp? im not having a go at you guys. just that the few people at both days who were on slicks seem to be sublely called cheaters,or no talent lol.

im no great driver, i just think credit is due if someone did well.. not a list of why they did well compared to otheres. this was only my 3rd time on the track with the gtr.

the civic is driven by a dentist. he used to race gtp in a s15. hes very good. oh he does 1.49.5 at eastern creek.

that was a indication that it doesnt matter what car you got. if its set up it will do the times regardless of power.

dont get all ofendedd. im just defending myself and throwing in a few of my opinions.

thanks. dave

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
