You joined this forum only a couple of weeks ago. I haven't seen or heard of your car at any trackdays.... if it really was the monster you claim that could 'maul' GTR's i'm sure we would of seen/heard it. As already asked - what times have you put down at what tracks?

But do 6k Proflex make you any quicker over 1 lap? Maybe a race distance. Bit for hillclimbs etc i imagine a good set of Bilstein, DMS, Koni will do the job at half the price.

I do agree that it all adds up to quick. Thing is you can get them to go bloody quick for not much money. I think for 20k i could get an R32 GTSt to lap EC at 1:45, PI at 1:48 and Sandown at 1:21. To go 2 seconds quicker at each track it will cost probably twise as much again...so you can get to 90% of the cars performance cheaply, its the last 10% that costs huge money. (Proflex, magnesium wheels, carbon taiilshaft, chrome moly cage, better engine/displacement, carbon panels)

An R32 GTSt with a built RB25 running a TD06-25G (guessing 300-320rwkws) in a strengthened and lightened body with the same shocks as in Jacks car and upgraded brakes. I have no problem in believing that this car would do some awesome times...

Sorry Roy, I wasn't clear enough... I was meaning Proflex purely for a dirt rally setup, as road style coil overs simply won't cop the punishment.

Certainly if the car was built solely for circuit racing it could be built a little cheaper with more commonly available components.

Maybe I was running off on my own tangent a little, as I'm more interested in serious tarmac rallies and dirt action. :iluvff:

well marlin, I know of just such a car in nsw.

S13, SR20 silvia.

stock engine and turbo (from memory maybe even stock IC)

wind up the boost

open exhaust

proper rally cage (monkey bars ahoy!)

2 proper seats

proper harness

terra trip

coms

The $6K proflex

used semis

even with it's bullshit high suspension, but with a decent steerer and me in the passenger seat it did ~1.19 at Oran Park GP. within a couple of seconds of most of the big HP big dollar GTRs. (and a few secs quicker than me :iluvff: )

it had bugger all power, but nice suspension, and a driver with massive nuts, and no rev limit on the engine (lol) meant it got quick times. plus he's not afraid to dent panels on his crummy S13, and with all the good safety gear he has the confidence to go very, very hard into turn 1.

that car opened my eyes.

id put money on that trial built 32 oversteers every corner you try to gas it out of even with smooth throttle application. Its a drift car by the looks of it.

Nah actually it was a time attack car built by trial in japan, i got bored with circuit and decided to fit a few drift mods to it. i had one of team kawasakis ex world superbikes to keep me scared on the track :huh:. It would take 20mins to get it back in full circuit trim. The differrences between drift and circuit are very minor.

haha this is gonna come accross as arrogant but anyways, ive been building imports for nearly 12years and been working on 'real' circuit cars not "occasional" club cars for just as long. Im the owner of URAS australia and am currently the largest importer of BLITZ and TRUST in the country, probaly keep more than 2mill of stock at any one time..... i have no need to prove myself to anyone especially not in here it is not my style. I prefer just to stay relatively to myself and have my oppinion respected like evryones else's.

cheers :huh:

Let me use the R32 for one track day. :huh:

Hell i will even do all the fluids in it. There isnt a single decent GTSt hitting the track in Vicx

Sure there are some nice cars with nice mods. But none with near the money that the average track GTR has had spend on them.

So ppl just dont get to see how quick rwd Skylines can be. About the most sorted GTSt in Vic would be Lee Wilsons AVO R33 GTS25T. Though i havent seen that out in the last 12 months...well not since he went GT35 anyway.

Id love to see your car out there. I read about it a while ago when it was for sale on NS.com

Looks like an old ZXR750? Two wheels = most fun you can have while still fully clothed. :huh:

yeah bit off topic but it is a 2000 TKA model FIM spec ZX7RR, sold it.... want a ex-works RC30 or ex-HRC SP1 not sure both are like rocking horse shit and i spose id be dreaming if i could afford one nowadays....

So post up the lap times then big shot.

Into the 3rd page now and your yet to give us one laptime

haha, easy nismoid! lol. :huh: Trent is ok (not that he needs my defence). I have met him a few times at various tracks (mostly when he in syd with Cat) and he's always been a good guy to chat too. He certainly knows his shit so even though his comments may seem a bit arrogant or baseless it's not that way at all. I don't think he was trying to put GTR owners down.

but anyway, c'mon trent post a time big boy. :angry:

i dont have any, nor do i need any all my laps in it lately have been sideways. I stand by my statement it will still maul "most" GTR's round a track. For sure one with more mods will but from most of the cars ive seen at these days sport RE555's and bolt-ons.... ooh and big ego's.

The crew i see associated to racepace (hardcore respect for) would have to be the most hardcore, and for sure i have no doubt they would give it a lashing but they are not "most" they are "few".

what is your issue R31NISMOID what do you drive?

cheers, putting GTR owners down would be stupid as i used to have a T517Z'd 1994 R32 parked in the garage, now in the old mans. Fantastic car but lets be honest i dare use the word again "MOST" GTR's i see at these track days would find a modded late model EVO tuff to compete with can someone give me the quickest times at recent track days?

So basically you dont have a lap time

Thanks for clearing it up

Fast turning into a "I can pee this high" contest.

Face it gents, there are some pretty good options there.

RWD Skyline with suitable preparation is a good thing

S13 or S14 is a good thing also with suitable preparation

GTR is a good thing

EVO is a good thing

It's as much about budget as driver preference for what the car feels like.

I'd hazard a guess to say that nearly anyone on this board lacks the skill and balls to get the most out of their machine. ie. the driver is normally the biggest limiting factor to speed. Remember we are talking about club activities here, with no sheep stations at risk. :huh:

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
