Well apart from the M3 CSL I don't think any cars come with tyres quite as "factory issue" as the GT-R's :)

Once someone really goes to town on an R35 I am waiting for the first sub-50 second lap ;)

I'd love to see them try, is'nt the record like 50 secs flat set by the GT500 ARTA NSX driven by keichi tsuchiya?

Im sure when you said "goes to town" you really meant "empties their bank accounts into the car" ;)

RE070's are standard on STi's as well.. Not as wide though.

The RE070's are proving to be a problem re track times with a swap to Dunlops proving a second quicker at least around Fuji and Aida.

my point was the time attack cars would most definitely not be using RE70s (which are street tyres). They would all be using track tyres like RE55s or A048s etc.

What time attack cars? The GT-Rs are all running OEM tyres at the moment. Bridgestone RE070 and Dunlop SP Sport 600 DSST which are both options.

Both are run flats too.

edit: i'm beginning to think you weren't referring to me in your post lol...

lol, yeah kind of. sorry, I wasn't too clear. I meant people were talking about the mines R34 comparison etc. No way does that thing run RE70s. don't get my wrong they are a good tyre by all acounts, and the dunlops even a touch better, but they are still 'performance road' tyres. and decent semi slicks would be abother second easy even at a short track like tsukuba. :P yeah reading back my reply was really for laurence. :D

i think it will take something EXTREMELY special to get the r35 to a sub 50 second lap. the current outright lap is 51.8, so to shave 2 seconds of that is going to be extremely hard. going from 1.01 to 59 didn't take that much, but it will take a lot more to get it down to 57, then much more again to get it to 55, and a massive amount to get it to 50 or below.

I think it took someone EXTREMELY special to take that comment literally. Thanks for being that person. :(
:D
Try and keep an eye out for these little yellow things, maybe read this page too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoticon

The point is, once people crack the GT-R and start to get serious modifying it we are going to see some pretty impressive times. All of which will be above 50 seconds.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
