just goes to show how big a car the R35 is... I remember first seeing one at the Melb motor show noting its easily as big as a 599... both absolutely massive for coupes! and people carry on about the size of 33's hehe;)

+1 for not caring how it looks at the track, 3sec's is the biggest time improvement from a single mod by far... and cheaper in the long run!

Should be way more than 3s. If it'll pull 3s on a 1:40 lap, simple math would say you'd see around 12s over 7:26.

However, since R-Comps also tend to have a greater heat capacity than regular street tyres, they're less likely to go greasy at the end of that period so the driver can attack harder for longer, meaning you might see even bigger gains.

Hello :) First post here. The car in question is mine, and they do indeed look like poop with the huge wheel gap.

But as others have said, 3 seconds is 3 seconds, especially on a 1:40 roadcourse.

The 18" setup proved to be a worthy track mod, but this year my new setup is Volk RE30 19x10 +30 and 19x11 +25 with Hoosier R6 295/315

I changed to the 19" setup not for looks but for a better tire setup. The Michelin Sport cups worked quite well but proved to have more understeer than I care for. With the new Hoosier 295 and 315 on the 19" RE30s should help reduce a lot of the understeer I was having and I'm very excited to try the new setup in a few weeks at my local roadcourse.

I'll be sure to post my results here, I am from the US btw (damn yanks) but love the australian car scene and your roadcourses too! :blink:

And yes, the Rossi helmet was good for 1 second faster laps of course. Heh, gotta love it. Good eye to whoever noticed my helmet. I have 6 of his helmets and many many Rossi minichamps (all of them that have come out to date, to be exact). You could say I'm a big fan, but of course Stoner is an AMAZING rider as well.

Take care mates, and I'll try my best to remember to come back and post more pics and results with my 19" RE30 setup.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
