Wakefield + R35 + Willall Tune + Slicks = ?


Recommended Posts

I source the slicks from a guy who has contacts from the GT and porsche cup boys.

I caught

of an interesting tire setup i've not seen before on an R35.

You get a good look at the wheels/tires from about 3:00.

These seem different, yet again, from the latest Super Taikyu GT-R's wheel/tire setup.

Can't find any info on the net though.

Thanks for the video, very interesting. Advan slicks hey... they look pretty much the same size that Martin, Marek and myself are running (18's too?). The car seemed a bit unstable under brakes? Maybe is was pushing really hard. Running aftermarket brakes and coilovers too.

Guys,

Just to put these times in perspective....check this out:

The lap records at Wakefield.....the GTR is up there with Porsche cup lap records and would have smashed the improved production record that currently stands by over 2 seconds.

Well done again guys on the times.

Not to mention they'd put the frighteners into some of the bike boys.

What tyre size are you running with the 18's mate ?

Edited by The Law

tyres which seem to work are michelin 27/68/18's (all four corners).

weight reduction was Willall racing titanium exhaust and susequent power increase from same

next time out i will be running less pax seat (another -30kg), race wing and splitter (martin?)

Sounds NICE !!

With those quoted tyre sizes are they imperial measures ??

Haha, but to put that into perspective... these $160k+ cars with $x000's worth of mods only beat a Toyota starlet (on road tyres) by less than 4 seconds... ;)

But seriously, damn impressive times. I wish my car only took that long to get down the front straight.

No, they are metric sizes.

27 = 27cm = 270 mm tread width

68 = 68 cm = 680 mm overall diameter

18 = 18" wheel, OK this one is imperial

Thats a fair bit lless rolling diameter/overall diameter than standard tyres, do you notice the car is lower/guards dont look filled out ?

Very impressed with the times!

To put throw a few other cars times up- a dude off ausrotary did a 1.01 in his FD RX7 track car on 19 inh slicks, t04z- but as I said- full track car.

The Unique Autosports 300zx has done a 1.04.65- http://www.advanwheels.com.au/cars/unique-300zx.aspx

Hey, can you post a link to the Natsoft results. Curious to see the times the MR2 you overtook at the 1min mark.

that was a practice day, no official times. Last time out with natsoft timing at wakefield (on re55's) i ran a 1:05.3 i think, so the slicks seem to be good for a second or so around there. We'll be going out again in the next few days to improve on these times i hope. Does anyone think we could manage a 1:02?

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
