D_I_F Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Bah!@Stockies.I'll be out there on my good tyres, I didn't tear the last set up overly much at all especially from what everyone was saying. Although, I DID flat spot them from locking up. One thing I have to avoid this time... Although Owen, you'll scrub on your guards, mine did the first time I was out, but now won't due to being raised!!! Haha you do remember how overley big Owens wheels are for his car.. they will stuff the car up for sure.. Owen, borrow a set of stockies..

Nismo_God Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 there wont be much more benefit from having wider tyres as the track is half wet and dry. if u have stockies it would prob be best to just use them and no need to worry...

The thing is the tyres arent just wide.. they are too big for the car.. silly people putting massive gtr wheels on gtst's Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/162176-autosports-ultimate-control-skidpan-no2-sat-may-26th-oran-park/page/2/#findComment-3069130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBS206 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) The thing is the tyres arent just wide.. they are too big for the car.. silly people putting massive gtr wheels on gtst's And having one wheel sit an inch outside of the guard! I know how big they are, they basically sat how mine used to. Just one of his tyres sits outside the guard for some frakked up reason... Edit: Nismo: Twas only joking, was all part of the fun... Edit2: I'll most likely be out with stockies on the rear too... Fronts will be good tyres. J's car will have the other two of my "new" stockies...

oweban Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Sweet, anyone got a pair of stockies? ^_^ I don't think I'd get scrubbing, my body does NOT roll. But still, I'll try and get some stocks. All else fails, I'll take them off my work car.

jeffworld2 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 yeah i thought my car doesnt roll, and it doesnt lol. but when you spin, trust me it will roll. the photo of me spinning shows exactly that... the back is dead flat but front wheels have moved so much, i couldnt beleive it there must have been some nice twisting action lol the track is not really wet, it just has a river through it the rest was dry. stock wheels are the go if you have some with rubber Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/162176-autosports-ultimate-control-skidpan-no2-sat-may-26th-oran-park/page/2/#findComment-3071139 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nismo_God Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 yep droping oil this weekend, do a service it i think.....havent changed the spark plugs on a skyline yet.....anyone know the easiest way to get in their? havent tried yet, is the plastic cover hard to get off? Also the plastic guards are under the oil filter, anyone know a trick way to change the oil filter withour droping oil onto the plastic? cant clean that up and will drop oil everywhere when i drive and on the driveway. what sparkies should i get? can you just go to repco and ask for r33 skyline, cause its an import do they stock the parts? Prob should have put this in the right section to get an answer...oh well too lazy....
