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.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
