AWESOME...So happy for him ;) A lot of time and effort has gone into that thing.

I take it he was running at the 95dB Maserati day. Hmmm, EPA ruining track days :D

Nope, Maserati club was at Winton today.

I thing it was a holden/ford club day where 1:30's is fast... :happy:

It was a Marque Sports Car Club day. Similar times though as it's mostly pre 80's stuff.

i cant afford semi slicks at the moment, and i just cant run on the streeters any more. You saw how munted they were after just the one session i got in last time, blisters galore! now the suspension and wheel alignment is bangin', the poor old federal's just cant keep up! :rofl:

I've run 1.23's Sandown and 1.52 at PI with 280rwkw on hankook streets and have done about 4 or more track days with heaps of laps and a couple deca's and there still 80% left. You might have scored a dud set of tyres. Where had they blistered in just one session? You should have no problems running steets. I would be confident with a low 1.22 at Sandown and a 1.50 at PI on street with under 300rwkw if I had more experience and some good pads. Still got std $30 pads in the rear not helping me.

Russ whats up with the car. Hope its not to bad!

Nice work by Newton. Good to here its getting close to the times its built for.

What Hankooks were you running Rowdy?

Hankook evo S1. They have copped a hammering and still look good. They have started to go hard but their not to bad for a few years old worth of driving (excluding the time the car has sat in the shed recently) and the amount of heat cylces they have been through. I'll still use them until their dead. I would recommend them for the price. Not the cheapest or most expensive but they have lasted.

That's what I've got on now...Good to hear they shouldn't give in on the track with a bit of power, and I definitely wouldn't be pushing as hard as you would've been if I do happen to make it to a track day in the future..

Ao fark! What do you mean all smashed up? :rofl:

Hit a wall yesterday at winton drift day. On the left before the old turn 1.

I'll post some pics when I get em.

Not too bad damage but you don't have to worry about the little crack in my bar now haha. I hit front left.

Not too unhappy about it. I've had a good run.

I was able to get home by making the car a non turbo cos the cooler was destroyed.

Those EVO S1s are remarkable. I just drove on those at the Nurburgring. On a 95% dry track they were incredible.

The owner of the rental car, Theo is some sort of super nutter. He took me for a drive in the rain (pissing) and the entry speed and corner speed in the rain on those tyres completely blew my mind.

I'm gettting those next for the GTR...

Great work Newton... will you be at this weekends WRX sandown?

Out of curiosity what car was this guy driving (from the MSCA day results)???

Cheers fellas,

Yeah got kicked off cos my bonnet was lifting off, too much noise and apparently I was drifting not grip driving lol that couldnt be anything further from what I was trying to do. It was a 75db day so I guess it was always going to be a short sesion lol. This was by far the most intense drive of my life. The car still wants to kill me but now it just goes faster. Got a good idea of some small changes to make to make it eaiser to drive but as Jack said there is definatly a fair bit more in it. Im just glad ive restored Brisbys faith in RWD's and given him enough material to give the GTR guys hell :) It also great that the car is finally at a point that I have been trying to achive. Development wont be going much further, just looking forward to paying for fuel, tyres and learning a heap.

Huge thanks to Benno for screwing together a awesome bit of machineary and Scotsman for working on the car with me Saterday night so that I could get to the track. Fuel system didnt miss a beat thanks to you.

Here is the vid

Greg Alcock was in a Lotus Exige with a turbo honda motor. Had no idea he was going that quick till I got home last night.

With the changes you have made to the rear end i was expecting it to be more subtle, but no, its still bonkers. congrats on the 19! so what do you think it has in it?? it will be interesting to see what a wing does for corners like turn 1.

i wont be surprised to see you knock many seconds off. Real wheel drive FTW!

I have not given a fark abot my car for months now, in fact i wanted it burned. But right now i am thinking i may actually want to drive the thing again :yes: Fark times, i just want to drive i can have a real go in again. :)

Ryan and Adam are now out there circulating BS fast...means i can just try to follow them and improve my PBs :D

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
