well Super GT (GT 500 class) are claimed to be the quickest GT cars in the world... "The mines GTR" is based on a modified street car and retains rego and a majority of standard body parts. a GT car is a 100% race car. This years GT500 class NSX are running turbos now too...

yeah, understand that. Just didnt realise how quick they actually were. I mean the Mines GTR is no slouch, it's a fckn quick car, but damn, those gt500 cars are insane

Race spec brake pads sometimes squeal because of the composition of them..its normal

I'm not sure what you mean by race spec brake pads, but the pads i run and others i track day with don't squeal like that when under heavy braking, under light braking yeah for sure... but when stomping on the brakes you don't normally give them a chance to squeel... i'm probably wrong tho :thumbsup:

my carbon/ceramic composite pads squeal like a bitch, cold/hot hard track braking/soft street braking doesn't matter. it sounds like a train. :thumbsup:

other race type pads I have had didn't do it, but these particular ones do. when up to temp though they still pull up nicely.

NSX does quite well, but it also has 50kg extra ballast compared to the rest as it is an MR. This years NSXs went back to 3.5L NA engines instead of 3L twin turbos though, or maybe they changed during the year or something, eitherway, they are running the NA engine now instead of the turbo. Seems like an odd choice...

A video of a JGTC NSX vs a Road Car?

How about they compare the last JGTC GTR running a VQ VS the JGTC NSX?

I'd like to see some holden and ford V8 supercars there as well showing their weight transfer

on the corner s :(

That would be an interesting race...

The footage is of Hot Version International 01 DVD; SPECIAL RUN IN TSUKUBA for Keiichi ‘Drift King’ Tsuchiya bids farewell to his professional racing career. He was trying to set an all time lap record in his ARTA NSX GT500.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
