I can hand them back to ya mate if you really want them?

And Timmy, do you really think so? I thought when we used to chat in the car you said I was really smooth? Or were you referring to something else? Maybe my chest? Or with the laaaaadiies?

Rock hard Ab's... and the ladies... Hmm

No you are very gentle with Betty and she rewards you... I mis our chats sometimes...

Anyone know where to buy Volk the cheapest? TE37 is still the stongest wheel available, their later stuff pales next to them.

OTR in melb got mine for 3550. 18x10.5 +15

They are sex :happy:

Only to run the Mini slicks :happy: I really want Baron and Bel180s, they are 17x9 +21s !

Mine are even fitted with Mini slicks at the moment ;)

Then you could try returrning a call or email... CHAMP!

Thats f**kin drug money. I'm OUT!

The boy is putting carbon guards over them as well. Along with a carbon roof he is making for his GTSt!

Thats even more drug money gone!

I'd just do a heap of speed and lose 10kg's. More fun :happy:

don't worry buddy. my set of weds are still pristine in their boxes. and if I ever get rid of them I promise they will go to you. :D they look so nice. thinking of ditching the TE37s on teh new car in favour of teh weds if they clear my F50s and 355mm rotors (they should).

I haven't Chris sorry!

Now, what about this? Yes, I know it's a 4 door, but does anyone know what brand these rear flares are?

Those flares are available from an import crowd down at southport ben. I bought a set a while back and didnt go through with it, opting for the 400 r flares.

Wished i had'nt now as I too am looking to widen the track and jam 295.s under my gtst.

Just waiting for the hankooks to arrive.

The name of that shop on the coast escapes me atm but when i think of it I'll post it up for ya.

Thanks Noel, appreciated. I still like the look of them.

Cammo from Cameron's bodyworks says he's running 285s on same offset on his 32 drifter, quoted well under $1k to pump and paint. "It's a stretch but not that hard" were his words......

For those running the mini slicks, how long are they taking you to get them up to temp? For the price and reported tread depth they seem like awesome value but I'm planning on attending some super sprints at Winton and worried that I wont have enough time to get them up to temp.

Mine are 95% there on the first flying lap (at Lakeside, 60 odd second flyer, usually about 100 seconds on a warm up).

I am quite aggressive on the warm up though, and I also warm the fronts a little by working the brakes.

Will be real interesting to see how it all pans out. I cant fit 18 x 9.5 +18 with 265/35/18s under mine and i paid bloody good money to get my guards pumped as much as humanly possible before respraying the guards (and the rest of the car for that matter) Will be a little cross if for $1000 you get all your guards pumped to suit big rubber :ph34r:

what you have is definatly not as far as possible. a mate of mine had his done with a roller and would stick out a good 50mm over the body width.

But how does it look? Is it just a big lip at the top of the guard, or has the whole guard been pumped to try and keep std look/proportions, but closer to GTR etc. I didnt want that drift spec lipped guard...

Because with wide tyres it may clear with rock hard suspension but was concerned that over the stroke of the suspension I would still be cutting tyres. So tried to pull the whole guard out and put a bit of a flare on it. Here it is with the 18x9.5 +12 with 265/35/18 semi slicks

Maybe i was expecting too much by not wanting the drift spec lip, which would look a bit silly given the ride height i run my car at! I suspect we are talking different things and therefore different results?!?!?!?

I think since 255s are as about as wide as they go with 17" semis then I may just stick with a 9" or 9.5" in around +22 offset. Will wait to see all you other folk think of your little GTSts being quicker/slower with the extra weight of the 18" rim and wider semi...(not to mention anal sepage over cost)

yep drift lip but id be thinking thats what woolster will be getting to.

but thinking about it has joged my memory of a bloke that has recently gone to 18s on a gtst. hes running 265 on a 9.5 inch rim are around the +20-30 range.

i wondered why his guards had such a "hight" rolled lip but now i realise why.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
