New Gtr Lap Record At Mallala

[BoostdR]

What tyres where you running?

[Adelaideprosound]

WAN LI

[Martin Donnon]

Michelin 270/68 18

[Damo_R34]

nothing wrong with Wanli as a medium to low performance long lasting street tyre.

[Krishy]

thats an awesome time.....good to hear that the R is running such great times

[Martin Donnon]

Here is the GTR ready to run, in 'as raced' trim with the 18s on it

All effort from here will be focussed in getting the 35 to run consistent 1:12s without ruining its daily driven nature (keep air con, interior etc)

those TE 37's look wicked

[Damo_R34]

so id imagine it could break under 10's in full race trim?

[Martin Donnon]

Old school TE37 has always been a favourite of mine over the years

wanli and performance should never be in the same sentance!

GTR is looking great, very impressive times in street trim etc.

[Damo_R34]

wrong, Wanli and low performance go hand in hand

[Krishy]

what are you talking about Damo.....wanli = no performance and thats coming from personal experience.....it became very hazardous in the hills with a bucket load of understeer and oversteer....very unpredictable

thats why i avoid chinese made japanese or euro ftw

dunno where i said that Wanli are good, they are a long lasting tyre for someone on a budget who can't afford to shove KU36's on every tyre change. Everyone knows they are shit in the hills, i had them and agree they are not great, but i doubt they are any worse than standard run-of-the-mill family car tyres.

Anyway, since we all agree that Wanli's are shit, lets appreciate the awesomeness of the Willall GTR.

[Adelaideprosound]

Jees i only said that as a joke and all of a sudden it turned into a Wan li debate.

And these days KU36's are cheaper than Wan li's $269 for a 285/35/19.

what time did the gibson R32 do at mallala?

[rad100]

re001 FTW..

[scandyflick]

joisus, 18's look almost tiny on the 35...

awesome effort on the time though, looking forward to seeing this progress.

[Krishy]

re001 FTW..

yep i second that....been using them for a while now and the grip level and tire life is amazing.....

Full Slicks are hardly `Street Trim` but awesome timing anyways
