Haha and you consider that high stress?

r-comp tires puts you straight into mod class. With Bribsy, Ryan and Russel.

The hoosiers are ass in the wet as well, basically a slick. While AO50, RE55 are great in the wet (when hot), even better than street tires. Or so I've heard.

Shipping from tirerack is $350'ish for the 4. This was only a month or two ago.

I though we were in mod class anyway. Where do I find points and stuff? So I cant use r-comp tyres if I wanna get points. I just want better times haha

Shipping isnt too expensive, alot cheaper than buying from here anyway :)

Marty, Jonny, you and I are in Standard RWD. It is basically an imposed power and grip limit (with the limited fuel system mods and tires)

I'll be in standard 4WD then :D I'll probably suck being the first time on Winton in a turbo car, hell the first time I've even taken the R to the track. Was good fun in my old N/A though. What sorts of speeds do you hit down the straight? Cant remember

So your cheating by using a hi-flowed turbo? ;) haha

So I take it i'm last?

It doesnt really bother me what class I get put in, I just want faster times....

I would rather the stocker, its got mad response. But blows its ass out after time.

You're not last either, Rob in the other black S2 is keeping the bottom warm at the moment.

Winton is 170kmh tops for me, but it is not sustained. Ie you're on the gas out of turn 15, then into fourth 100m down the road, then hard on the brakes 450m later.

Where as Calder, PI and Sandown you are on the gas for a good time. Though this all depends on how you exit the corner onto the straight.

they yours?

nah they new

Hmmm I cant afford them atm, id rather buy rota's in any size I want, if they break who cares LOL

sorry man, they are 18x9.5+28 (i got told the wrong info)

also driftek's are now available in 17/18 x 9.5 in any offset you want from 0-25

in other news, work hadn't even STARTED my XD9's that i ordered 3 months ago, so i swapped the order for these:

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
