If the Australian government was smart they'd arrange to run more rallies all over the country because you can be sure it would be a fail safe way to end our draughts. Because it seems nothing ever brings on the rain like a rally!

LOL Snowman - very true !

Isn't it only the AASA rallies (TT & WPT) that allow downsizing of rims?

Correct Duncan. Thats why I'm suggesting Russ doesn't do anything rash and spend a fortune on downsizing brakes/rims untli every rally he'd like to enter is either with AASA ot CAMS follows suit with the rules.

Yeah but I also read somewhere (it was on the internet so it must be true!) that Nissan have even stated that they know the R35 is FASTER with smaller wheels but fo physical symetry they were forced to run with 20's.

So the question is if you can get better rubber for 19's and it's known the car is faster on 19's then why the hell wouldn't you get a set to use when you CAN run 19's?

I think the Lambo guys mainly use the Toyo's right?

But otherwise there is the Pirelli Corsa and Michelins Sport Cups.

None of them are as good as the Dunlop/Bridgestone/Kuhmo semi's (which don't come in 19's I'm pretty sure) but they have to be better than street tyres.

The Toyo's are definitely good in the wet and they also come up to temp amazingly fast (for sprints your out lap is almost your fastest lap) but they don't have the absolute grip of the others but maybe in a rally they'd be good?

They are also funny in that people say they get faster as they get worn down too.

A simple application to CAMS would see you permitted to downsize rims. I was pushing it with them last year until we swapped and all was looking good.

Mt Buller will allow downsize too... they are also AASA.

Ok so I've now sobered up enough to remember one of my best non-driving moments of the rally...

I was standing talking to Jim Richards :banana: as you do :laugh: when I got an unprompted text through from Duncan saying *Don't forget to tell Jimmy we love him if you see him!!!*

GOLD! :ban:

Jimmy's a legend!!

can anyone tell me what the maximum rolling diameter difference a gtr will genrally aloow for?

Is 295/30 = 661mm & 235/35 = 652mm to big of a difference to fit to a GTR?

any info is appreciated.

cheers russ

also got the paddle shifter modto move with the steering wheel, thanks beerman!!!

Hi Giant,

Do you have any more info on the modification to the paddleshifter that you are talking about there ? Was it an Australian modification or a part you imported from overseas ?

The MCR paddle shifter kit is made by Works Bell, and the standard Works Bell paddleshifter moves with the steering wheel, so I'm a bit confused as to what modification you are talking about there - is it in terms of the connection between the paddleshifter and the contacts on the steering column ?

I'm curious as to what the modification is that you are talking about above and if it is a modified part that is R35 specific or otherwise.

Thanks,

Adam

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
