"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

Me making an area of myself

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!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
