Considering the problems that the evo and the 34 had, I don't think the first day counted much dialling happens on the first day, add to that the large drops in temperature over the day and the changes to track and tyre temps from midday to 4pm and only 15 min sessions, I think they would love more track time to work on things.. Specially when you are aiming for one lap... You don't have the comfort of having 40 laps to get adjusted and make ip time.

russ has a good handle on the brakes now and a few tips learnt on trying to eliminate the pad knock off problems that GTRs with big brakes are notorious for.

There is a fix for that, we used to have the same problems as everyone, but changed the front wheel bearings to a ball type bearing (tapered std) and the problem is fixed. have had same front bearings with no knock off for years now.

dave :)

ps The BSM GTR is for sale too.

dont kid yourself, it is expensive to participate let alone be competative.

i hope to have the car sorted for this next year, just dont know whether ill need to run the big engine. hopefully i wont embaress myself.

Its made me realise how much money I will need to spend to make my car even remotely close to the front runners :)
That's probably right.. I thought it was $800 entry though... The tyres would be the killers there... Specially if your running 265s on 18s.. 2k wouldn't even get you 2 fresh sets.

2k won't even get you the first set! not of anything competitive anyway.

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
