"What are the new tyres you are putting on?"

I have gone for some more Toyo T1R's in 265/35ZR18. I run these on my GTR and they provide good grip especially in the wet with their open tread pattern. The only draw back is that they are noisy which simply means turning up the sterio.

Victory ....... how wide are your rims ? mine are 9 inch and I run 255's but I would like to run 265's. Do think the 9's would handle the 265's alright ?

Tim.

Sorry to butt in, I have 18 x 9's on my R32 with 265/35/18 & have no probs with fitment :P .

I'm sure you wouldnt either champ ;) .

I know that this has probably been asked before but why are we not showing the times from the back track in the afternoon?

I dont think that the morning times should be the bench mark because the track temp was cold and there was little grip especially for those people using semi slick tyres. There was also a lot of loose stones and dirt on the surface in the morning.

The grip level in the afternoon was substantially better because the track temp was higher and there was less crap on the road surface - therefore giving the drivers a better chance to utilise their driving skills knowing that the car was less likely to lose traction.

Perhaps an average from the morning and afternoon runs should be worked out and used as a comparison? :)

I run 265/35ZR18 on 18 x 9 rims and they fit perfectly.

The only problem is that the OD is 644 mm and is a fraction small when the correct OD is 650. This means your actual speed is about 5km less that what your speedo shows. This is what most car companies do so that you are just under the speed limit.

I was running 245/40ZR18 on 18 x8 with an OD of 651 which gave me the exact speed on the speedo in both the GTR and GTS-T. I was going to go for 275/35ZR18 to get back to an OD of 649 but Toyo only had 2 in the country and were hoping to get in another 6 in July. Even though they would have been the exact tyre for the car if they are that rare then if you stuffed one it would be a real pain to try and replace it.

evil weevil, Chris' camera is a GoPro, same as mine.

www.goprocamera.com then go to the Motorsports Hero.

I got mine from http://www.soloperformance.com/ in the USA as well as a CruiseCam headrest mount for about 310AUD all told.

User NISMO also has one which he got locally.

Here is some video I took from Wakefield. I had the sound on the wrong setting for in-car though. And the footage is much smoother when you use the included suction cup. And yes, I damn near **** myself at the end of the video hahaha

ooh pick me pick me!! :P yeah i'm interested ;)

I'm have the costs for the actual products. I just need to find out costing of freight from them to me and then postage from me to you which will just be those post packs either exp or stnd.

Hopefully It will be cheap cheap.

As soon as I find out I will post up and see if we can get it happening.

can that camera be used as a normal video camera, like hand held? if so i might have to get one as well!

I'm not sure but I will look into it.

There is a guy doing them in TAS section but I'm getting them a lot cheaper.

lol made an "area" of myself.. damn, nice price VZSS!

They CAN be used as a hand held camera, however they are so small that you might find you aren't really pointing in the direct you think they are. I wouldn't rely on them for that kind of use. CeJay I can show you mine if you like. I'll bring it the next Friday I'm out.

One really important thing is that this camera will NOT pickup any footage whatsoever (ie nada, zip, zero) at night time. I went for a drive at night and I could only JUST make out the halo from streetlights, and nothing else. And it BARELY picks up any footage indoors during the day, or at night with the room's lights on (ie the footage is so dark you can't make anything out). Even when I faced this thing towards a desk lamp, it is VERY poor quality. It really needs UV/daylight to work properly.. go figure. I was hoping to use it for night time cruise footage, but it is useless for that. I was really disappointed about this part, but I mostly bought it for analysing laps and stuff during the day, so it's alright for me.

The other thing is, Wakefield Park (and probably many other tracks in AU) will not let you use this camera with the including suction cup mount. If you want to use it on the track, you'll need to get a proper bolt on fixture, like the "Cruise Cam" i mentioned in an earlier post.

Other than that, it's great - you can see what footage is captures in it's ideal conditions. Oh, and the other thing: it chews batteries like a mofo. Lithium or BUST!

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
