not sure about the gears, i think we make approx 170 - 180 kph in third is this about the same as you??

and no , no aero aids for the 32 these will come on the 34 and some testing.

cheers russ

yeah, at then end of the day its the stopwatch thats the judge.

nice videos. man shes abit louder now hehe also, i was studding the gearchangng. is there a revcut? also do you find going from 1st to second way harsher than anything else? (just getting to know mine now lol.) mayby its abit worn, but damn it sounds and feels like the diffs gonna come out of it when hitting first to second, not to mension the amount of force needed to push it in.

you guys use a shortshifter?

more superlap madness - Saurus R32 GTR at Tsukuba. probably a bit more like what Giant's car will be like than the all carbon fibre HKS Evo - that was pretty extreme!

OMG that sounds incredible

Awesome videos and time Russel.

All the very best in Jap.

Russell, can you post the specs of those wicked Ray rims? Did you have to do any modifications to fit the rims and tyres combo?

I use similar gears through the track as well...just at a lot slower speed than you guys :(

thanks for the support mate!! it is much appreciated! and really hope we get a good run at it and can show what the aussies can do!!

hey mate (9krpm) there the TE37's 18 X 10 1/2 ( I THINK + 22 OFFSET) and they fitted straight on!

our guards have been rolled before we got the car , i think they would touch otherwise also the negative camber front and rear helps tuck them inside the guard , but they dont rub at all. (they were bronze and we painted them black and had new decals made.

cheers russ

went out on for a quick test at qr today!

to check the belt alignment and an idler pulley setup we made to stop belt flap! all good

Mark managed a new PB on the clubman of 56.06 so really happy with that!!

hey russ,

to me, it doesnt matter where you finish. as long as you do, youve done more than most.

now, thats not to say you cant achieve more!!

the most important thing for me, personally, is that you are coming out here with the team and that fine machine you have built and are going to show everyone what it can do.

im proud of you just for that if it counts for anything...and thats before it even turns a wheel in anger...

lap times are important.

More important is the fact that you were here and were granted an opportunity to mix it with the best on their own turf and can no doubt hold your head up high.

Thats priceless my friend. ill be there with bells on. You can count on it.

I would have to work out the speeds for our gearing with what wheels were on it...but i normally hold fourth through turn 1 and 2....hitting about 220-230 down the front straight(in 5th) and just float between brake and accel between 1 and 2 and then depending on track into third or keep going and into 5th for national.

You guys must be going soon, or atleast the car being sent over. Good luck with it all mate, im sure you two are going to flog em!

i normally change gears twice per lap - lol

in 4th down front strait - go around 1 and 2 in 4th

then jump into 3rd before turn 3 - then go through the 2 S's and around the last corner in 3rd

and then into forth on the front stait again...

use to experiment with 2nd but yeah

3rd always seemed faster...

probably due to crap tyres and turbo pulls quite well in 3rd so yeah

PS goodluck in Japan and remember: HAVE FUN!! (that is after all what its all about!)

56 around the Clubman circuit is a Porsche bashing time and well into Sports Sedan territory, great work. Are you going to test at Morgan Park? Some different to QR corners there may help setup?

Anyway, best of luck in Nippon :)

thanks for the luck for Japan

We will be testing at wakefield park next week then straight in a container japan bound that weekend, so hopefully all goes well!

wakefield should really help us with setup with it's mix of corners (weather permitting)

cheers russ

what sort of lap time are you aiming for guys? Or just taking it as it comes?

umm well we are hoping for something around 57 or under, but not really sure.

the mines gtr r34 does 57's i think so something around there or under would be fantastic and a top 10 finish.

anything under a 60 will be pretty awesome. but always good to set the bar high. what date is nismo festival? I'm going to try and get a week off and head over. :)

these are the UK car's going over to compete aswell.

http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/84386-ti...te-tsukuba.html

Get us one back from the rugby russ and smash them poms! :)

hey guys

BB i thought the race was on the 5th and 4th for practice but after reading the link shane put up(thanks shane top stuff!!) looks like it's on the 6th, i will be confirming tomorrow.

and your right Richard anything under 60 seconds will be awsome! :O

good to hear you will be there.

cheers russ

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
