Good to catch up with you at the track the other day mate car looked really impressive cant wait untill japan.I got some good news my rings have arrived early so i should have them this week and can get stuck into getting it finnished and get out there in something a bit more competitive than the wifes car.If you get a chance you should try and sneak out for indy rally we have QR wed and i am sure you could sweet talk russ into letting you guys sneak a few laps in as they are down on entrys this year so will have more time.Will give you a call in the next few days mate.

The stability of that car makes it look like a race car! It seems to need a fair bit of steering lock...is that natural or has it been set up that way so you can get on the power sooner and keep the foot into it?

Yeah good spotting roy, steering ratio is standard so fair bit of rotation required but the car was pushing a fair bit in these videos but got better as the day went on and adjustments were made.

But the push didnt seem to stop you from getting on the loud pedal on exit, so ?!?!?!!?

As i understand it you are basically still running the Nissan ATTESA system...how often do you find the torque gauge flashing all over the place???

Great car and great thread guys. I remember seeing this car a few years ago on the massive skyline crusie number 2 I think and wow has it come along way since then! I'm just wondering if you guys run any aero aids like slim lining the underside of the car, or if you guys have looked into rear diffusers or front cannards.. to help rear stability and to aid turn in and maintain front corner grip.. i could very well be wrong as i'm only going from what i can see in the pictures. If the japanese have been using them for years let alone most motorsports (when allowed) would it be worth looking into.. any little could help when running against japan's best.

:thumbsup:

LOL...i think its already been asked?!?!? None, not enough time to trial on the car.

I tend to agree, new engine, new suspension is enough to get your head around when you are going as quick as these guys. Throwing aero into the mix??? I would tend to get the car dialled in and in the money...then at a time where you can make a few wrong calls with setup...then try aero. Unless you have lots of experience with car setup and aero then you could easily end up slower or with an ill handlign car

i think i may have missed it in the other thread.. tho I agree with you also roy, it would take alot of time to get aero right!

Russ and Mark, just wanted to tell you guys how jealous I am! haha, and I'm still filthy you weren't at Dutton Vic so I could see that angry thing myself.

I was meant to get out to QR for your initial test day to take a test in Jason's blue R34 that you breezed by but couldn't make it. I'll be keeping an eye out for any more test days @ QR. :thumbsup:

Congrats to date, and best of luck for Japan :O

The old saying " i know enough to be dangerous" applies here. But that XS car, well the angle of attack on the rear wing seems wrong. The front cannards would add more to drag then corner speed over a single lap on fresh tyres.

But, sure. There would probably be a bit of development left with aero. But a fresh set of tyres over a single lap...well i thnk there woudl be a fair bit of expense trying to get the car to actually go quicker. First and foremost you would want a pretty good data logger or race mechanic helping you out?

LOL, i dont know. I do know if Mark and Russ painted there car silver then it woudl be about the perfect car :rolleyes:

Im lost with marks gear changes in those few videos, they are way different to my own on both the sprint and clubman tracks. I can only put it down to the all wheel drive giving you guys the traction where i cant get it....i mean 2nd gear through the dipper and turn 4 and then into 3rd for turn 5 is unheard of....unless they were only mild laps??? Not going hard out yet or what?

Did you guys have plenty of traction whenever using 2nd?

Congratulations on the times too!

    • I have a question with regards to R34 GTR guards. All the info here is quite old. Useful, but old. At what point does the bumper itself become a clearance issue with wide wheels on a R34 GTR, specifically the part I've drawn in red here: All of the info that people post about implies that 285 is as far as you'd go before scrubbing becomes an issue, but they speak of hitting the inner plastic liners, not the bumper itself. Just how wide could you go if you took the liners out? Has anyone done it? I have been messing with my own car and spacers and heavily cursed my lack of planning, but I might not feel so bad if there's actually no gains to be had by going a GTR guard and front bar combination for $5k+ of money I do not have after spending about that much already on my solution which now has problems. (Woo) At least I now know why GTR guards and bumpers flare out like this over their GTT lesser cousins. I feel that in 2024, someone has gone further and attempted to run 315's or somesuch on the front of a R34 GTR. If you have, please post. If you're tried and failed for some other reason definitely post so I feel better about my mistakes
    • Genuine URAS Type R front guards in FRP. These will fit a GTT. They will only fit a GTT. If you have a GT or GTT and want wider fenders with a Z tune look up top, this is what you want. You use this with a regular GTT fitment bar. Not a GTR bar. They fit GTT guard liners and plastics, not GTR items. So if you're reading this thinking "Ah! I have a GTT or GT and want wider front guards that bolt directly on, but do not want the hassle of changing my bonnet and bumper and plastics and undertrays or anything else, this is what you want. The fitment is annoyingly perfect. I really would rather someone pick these up in person and not ship them. SE Melb.
    • Why didn't you buy the one I originally linked in QLD which was about 18k and in massively better condition with about 30k of tastefulmods holyshitmygodjesuschristman.
    • hey mate so i was in a similar position needing something better than oem for track but also wanting it to look the part, i went for APG APG Performance Brakes they are a solid price and i have had no issues with any of the components from them. the rotors and pads can be swapped out for all the usual brands just ensure you are getting the right sizes. i have just a front kit on my car. i would recommend upgrading to a bigger master cylinder as they are a bigger calliper so you can actually notice some increased braking performance
