I hear you Gary, Im just in the dumps because for the first time in my life i dont have the spare cash to track the car, let alone mod it. I cant begin to understand Dunan's (and others) frustration with his GTR , as with me its not frustration its dead set depression :blink:

Adz, not to worry about disappointing...i cant be, its just an interesting social experiment. You are the better steerer and have the better basis of a car...so be a better indication of car then me still under driving mine a little. I still believe some of the times other Vic guys are getting are just within reach of a GTSt :) Aaron at PI though 1:44 , lol cant see those times being matched anytime soon :)

Roy I have 18 and 9.5 front 265 and 10.5 rear with 295 I want to go 10 or 10.5 front and 11.5 or 12 rear which will fit 285 front or maybe 295 and 315 rear. Also Zed compared to Skyline the engine weight is further back being V6 and much lower roof line. Just need to get carbon fibre Targa panels and lose the heavy glass.

I can assure you guys of one thing we will have the best aero car there. Yes been doing more tinkering and making big vents outside of the car to vent air out form engine bay so not going under the car creating lift and working on a real rack off rear diffuser and side skirts. GT500 Style. May even add to the huge rear wing with extensions and big fences on the end but will see about this.

Shoudl also think about putting a speical flashing light on the roof. See how many people start copying it....tell them its gives you a crucial few tenths as it bends times and space or something. Big wings will psyche out the competition :down: DO IT ! :blink:

Strobe light would be the go and a distraction and tempting but potentilally dangerous. I should get the head lights working to flash GTR Jason to get out of the way.

What good tyres would you use john. I thought 315 only came in crappy brands. I have decided to scrap my 18*10's and 18*12's and put 18*9 all round on my R32. That way I can run RE 55's all round. :D

Yoko 315's were awesome though :laugh:

Exactly the challenge and from what I found I can get Yoky 048 which don't heat cycle that well although mcuh cheaper than 285 RE55 for example. There are big size tyres in the pipeline from other R comp tyre manufacturers also around this size coming soon.

2rismo I will be out numbered with so many GTR's going. I like to be unique and like a challenge.

Why not 9.5"? They fit the 265/35R18 RE55 a lot better then the 9" wheel? You can still get SR2,WT2, SR compunds in that size. Thats what i really want to run but i have std guards:(

FOr my car at least and no fornt diff not wide enough as have front and rear wheel track adjustment and flared guards so can run wider which will help with traction and cornering. I ahve 9.5 front and 10.5 rear now. Bigger is better.

Only if you have the geometry under control. If the geometry is crap then wider tyres just make it worse as you get larger transition differences. The contact patch decreases dramatically and the transfer between grip and slip is hard to feel for, let alone control.

john that pic that you put on there with our cars was when i was coming up behind you to lap you even when you changed drivers and put a pro driver at the wheel he could not pass i still remember your face when the gtr was pulling away and so does everyone else that was there ha ha i thought this track day would have been to show how good the cars are and how good the OWERS DRIVE not how good PRO DRIVERS and maybe the rules should state everyone drives there own cars and no pro drivers jumping from car to car this would make it alot more fun then having one person winning everything.

Share the love. Sounds like the excuses are starting already. The slot car will whip you with me driving anyway.

Re tyres Gary I thought you would say somethg like that. When I went wider on the front is was way better but wider rear with wider wheel base and understeer. If I can get tyres wide enough and not heavy I am sure we can configure things to be better overall.

      Requirements for Xenon Headlights? (Possible Solution)

      By rahilp · Posted

      Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      By Lithium · Posted

      I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.
