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.

      Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
