You dont need semi slicks to crack 2 min barrier, especially if you dont have a speed limiter. Even with the limiter and normal rubber i can lap in the 1:56s.

Im glad i kept using road rubber until a time i was comfortable with how the car moved around at speed. The semi slicks have much higher levels of grip and let go much quicker and at higher speeds. Oh and much easier to flat spot or damage.

Street rubber means you have more fun, and learn more about your car.

hey Tim, the format was a bit funny yesterday with only one group, normally we can split up between them and offer tips etc while someone else is out. And yes, they did all turn up as soon as you left :)

Hope u fumigated that helmet pete.....

As for tyres, I think Roy is right, you can get under 2 min on street tyres, but it takes a pretty committed lap....the thing about the cheater tyres is they can be cheaper in the long run coz you don't kepp chewing up road tyres in 1 day on the track, at least they last 5-6 days....

Had a great time with those that made it. Lots of runs as not a lot of cars. Wish there some faster Skylines though, He he. Maybe next time. Paul 0Z97 GTRv might get his suspension sorted by the next one as it was like following a lawn mower as he was checking out the grass a lot on sides of the track.

lucky that 120y wasn't there John :D

Ive had my CAS replaced, it appears that was causing the missfire problem so there will be at least 1 faster skyline there next time......

Yes that thing's a little narrow missile, fun to drive behind and watch it twitch around the place. Hopefully more cars and less bikes next time. Need some faster Skylines, maybe Andrew Ho?

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
