599s and 612s are the F cars I am most cautious of on the track as they go well in a straight line but are such terrible handlers and the traction control so intrusive they almost grind to a stop mid-corner. You need to be very carefully lined up in the 35 so that you dont run into the back of them on corner exit as that certainly would be an expensive mess. 360s are generally too slow to mix it with most of the stock GTRs we have on track days so dont really spend much time in their vicinity on the track. F355 and older are generally roadblocks that ruin everyones day. No hating, just generally find them annoying to the faster guys that want to get some track time in :(

Would be cool if one could drive them on the road......but if I was in the market for a track car I would get a Lotus 2 eleven before a Radical.....(still love the radical but...)

Martin, Martin, Martin.

I see you are still sore since my Ferrari lapped your Ferrari on lap 81 at Mallala the other day.

You have been most radical at attacking these fine gentlemen who like to drive their Ferraris as hard as they did when they were 17 ;)

Methinks you would need some very good throttle control to use the short rev range of an LS engine in an open top club car. Traction wise, it just makes sense for them to have a buzzbox engine...

F355, F360 are POS. Italian trash IMHO. If only Ferrari can make their road cars half reliable as their F1 cars, then I will respect them more.

Like a one night stand with a hot blonde, the F355 and F360 are not the cars you want to keep long. Got friends who HAD owned them and they are more trouble than what they're worth, and believe me, they bring a new definition to the terms 'fragile', 'temperamental' and 'overpriced'.

Apart from the 'pose' factor, I can't see why anyone with half a brain and half the logic of a normal person would ever want to choose a F360 over a new GTR.

beacause as I said before, if you can afford one, you can afford both.... I'f you can't afford both you really can't afford to maintain either cars and your better off not wasting your money if you have to borrow on expensive cars...

Are you for real? Even if you can afford both, why would you? The GTR can do everything that the 360 can and even more. So why would you fork out 160k odd for a second hand car that will spend more time in the workshop getting repaired than it does on the road? Why would you spend 160k for a "supercar" that can't even beat a new STi or Evo?

I tell you why. It's because you're a POSER and you want the majority of people (who knows nothing about cars) to look at you and say...."ooohhhh, he's got a Ferrari"

All this talk and love of F360's makes me sick. Any of you fan boys ever had anything to do with them? Seen how fragile and poorly built they are? Seen how BLOODY SLOW they are when on a track? They're pathetic, and are simply a prosthetic extension for short balding men.

There is no contest between one and a 35, but personally, I have no aspiration to own either. The 35 is too smart by half for it's own good, they drive me nuts. GT3 for me :)

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
