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.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.

      iPad gauge cluster

      First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
