"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!

      Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.

      The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
