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.

:)

:laugh::huh::wave:

So just how fast are 350awks GTRs going down the straights?

:wave:...GTRs, the motoring elite braking before the kink :ninja:

Couple of Points

1.Wakefield has many other turns other then turn 1.

2. Follow someone faster around the track and you will do good times

3. Follow someone faster and knows what they are doing then you will do you best times and can come back and practise the lines you learnt.

4.Fatz is a pussy

I thought you Vics were just making sure you had a pedal before braking for 2. As Druncan would type Bahhhhhhhahahahah. Braking for the kink,,,please enough already you had the office laughing there heads off today. Anybody would think you turned off your driver aids.

A great spot to pick up time is on the down hill section. Get right up on the smooth section of the right hander and mash the pedal big time. Brake late into the paper clip going right out wide and use the ripple strip on the inside to kick the back around which should make it easier to power down on the short straight before the next little right hander.

The only corner that pulls my pants down is the last bloody one. I always brake to early so I end up carrying stuff all speed on the exit. But I will fix that next year.

Oh and before I forget,,,I spotted Baron sitting on Santa's lap today. Bend me over and root me boot,,,Santa looked a lot like Fatz.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info

      It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.
