I have totally redesigned the previous version; creating a new interface which is easier to use, has more precise calculations and new features including 2D modelling of tyres and wheels.

Car Calculator V3.0

Features include:

- Power (kilowatts - horsepower)

- Torque (newton metres - foot pounds)

- Speed (KM/H - MPH)

- Weight (kilograms - pounds)

- Displacement (litres - cubic inch)

- Boost (bar - PSI)

- Distance (kilometres - miles, metres - feet)

- Fly Wheel (factory output to wheel rating, awd-fwd-rwd)

- Speedo (speed adjustment based on tyres size)

- Tyre Diameter (rolling diameter of a tyre and the ability to compare tyres)

- Tyre Stretch (visualisation of tyre stretch based on width, profile and wheel width)

- Wheel (visualisation of a wheel based on size, offset and camber)

- Mileage (L/100KM - MPG)

- Fuel Economy (distance per dollar and visa versa)

- Fuel Consumption (mileage based on tank size and distance)

- 0-100KM/H (estimate based on power and weight)

- 1/4 Mile (estimate based on power and weight)

- Top Speed (estimate based on power and weight)

Feel free to give me feedback and any ideas for future versions.

I also encourage you to share this with your friends on other websites/forums.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
