ive herd there a good street tyre wet and dry. i dont kno what to get just cos im on a tight budget, im after 235 45 r17's

they have 265 semi slicks on them atm, but i dont kno if they will fit under the guards, im not sure if i should get 2 more semi's and re use the 2 better semis

theres about 5mm tread left, and there a harder compound, do u think they will last?

there dunlop formula R's

personally i would rather a semi slick with less tread then a cheaper asian tyre. but thats me. how they would last depends on your driving but on that note like drift days they have dudes swapping tyres is anyone one coming out bringing that sort of set up?

This is a long shot....

But a couple our clients asked us to ask on their behalf for reserve entries.

1 x R34 GTR

1 x R35 GTR

All I can do is but ask ;)

To the rest of you guys, spend all your effort and monies working on the very best braking package you can for the day. Brakes are 100% critical at Mallala and need serious application to get 'in the zone'. Having 'lots' of experience at Mallala with Nissan brakes we are more than happy to lend some advice to anyone with questions :P

Thanks for the offer for your advice Martin. I'm certain anyone who's serious about their braking performance will be in contact with you. Appreciated. ;)

I've withdrawn from this track day, but I will get the Stagea out to the track this year. My thoughts were to retain the current calipers, but throw in a set of slotted rotors and a set of QFM pads for the front, leave the rears alone, and bleed thru fresh brake fluid. I'm more interested in improving the braking for day-to-day street use rather than fast lap times ... but will use a track day to measure how effective my brakes are. Whats your advice on what I've said above. PM me if you prefer.

;)

how is everyone else's preps going?

brake lines, oil change, alignment, and modding the fuel pickup* is all i have left to do. the rest is aesthetics. ha.

*tempted to just go surge tank and 044 to solve the issue permanently though.

Hey no problems

What we need to remember is that Mallala is one of the hardest tracks on brakes in Australia, so not only do you need decent quality hardware in the brake department, you also need to manage them very carefully while at the track to stop the going into destructive wear mode. It doesnt matter how 'overspec' your brakes are either, with AP Racing 380mm rotors, Endless W003 endurance pads, and SRF through the system we still need to water inject the brakes and give them several cool down laps to keep performance optimum. My advice then is one warm up, two flying laps, and two cool down laps to manage your road brakes on the day :)

yeah good call.....probably explains why Aris drives a GT3 around Mallala and not a Skyline ;)

He mentioned that he could've gone for the ceramic brake package update when he bought it..........but would've had to sell another child for the extra cost unfortunately

Our braking problem is specific, and focused, stopping a 1:12 second car that weighs 1700kg on 380mm rotors that have their airflow shrouded by 18 inch rims. It doesnt get much more challenging than that from a brake engineers viewpoint ;)

The faster you go the harder (almost exponentially) it becomes on brakes :)

Hey Martin did u get my Pm about ecu choice?

I'll bring some tools to help out those ppl that need it ;)

Yes I did Luke....thought I responded though!

The choice is all yours. I dont like toom any aftermarket ECUs compared to factory, so Im not the right person to ask :)

Timing Gear

Ok this is where i get the count for the timing gear;

Aberax

Destroy

semislickR32

BIT SUS

Krishy

So we need 5 more for it to be viable.

If you want to hire the timing gear for $42 let me know.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
