so i took my drift car out to a SAU club day on thursday... didnt change anything except for adding some rear camber to fit 265's on the back. ran RSR fronts and 265 KU36's rear. managed a best time of 1.18.08 at mallala. brakes and lack of decent grip were my two biggest problems but i had a ball.

anyway heres the vid http://vimeo.com/15685328

Agree Harry!

the RB just sounds awesome! the evo sounds....like a gli with an exhaut lol

edit - what were the two times?

and winton looks fun!

High 1.38, Low 1.39

Lack of front end grip with the ku36 / 595rsr really hurts you at winton.

update:

1.24.7 at Sandown on 595rsr

Cal what tyres are you using? You have the car really hooked up.

You using racechrono? give racechrono2avi a go http://www.racechrono.com/news/?p=92

agree with troy. driving on the RSR at nurburgring and then driving the exige on the A050s (or were they 48s?) at Spa the RSRs were very good. I do think they tended to let go a little earlier than the other semi's but they had lots of feel and very progressive when they did start to let go. troy and I worked them pretty hard at the ring overdriving and they are big laps at 24km per lap! I do think they would give away a little to a set of 55s or DZ03G, or AO50s but not nearly as much as I would previously have thought. the car we had them on was pretty quick, turbo FWD with DSG scirroco with brakes, cage and suspension. good times!

PS: wrong link bris. these are the ones: http://www.federaltyres.com.au/ss595rsr

yeah the weather was apalling, and so was the grip (both ends) in my car. I think the tyres were mostly to blame, those commodores drove past me like I was standing still....they easily had 10klm/h more at the apex.

My best lap was 2.10 in race 3....Bob Pearson's emo did a 1.58. Outrageous

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
