Tire rack doesn't list A050's?! Only A048's

Edit - Or O3G's......

Anyone shed any light on that?

Edit - I've emailed them a request for info on those.

I rang them and couldnt get any sense out of them regards the o3g's Ben. I hope you have more luck.

No Re55s listed either. I've been on toyo's for the last 2 seasons on the GTR and really keen to try something better. I tryed a worn out set of medium Ao50s and they definatly impressed me. really want to try some new ones. Can you please ley me know how you go Ben?

pretty sure the fastest Aussie car at last year's WTAC was on Kumho V70A - Luff in the Lotus.

yep Harry is correct, the lotus ran on Kumho last year

damn that car only weighs in at only 750kg according to the spec list this year with 500+awhp

thats almost half the weight my car will be! R35 drivers really do need to pray to the Horsepower and AWD electronic trickery gods for an advantage

They are actually building a motor for it this year rather than just the race motor that he uses to compete in the GT series with (which is what they did last year).

Was looking at Natsoft results and from the creek yesterday and seen this:

Allan Simonsen Lamborghini Gallardo 5212 A 8 12:52.3149 1:28.0570R

Doing a 1:28.057 in a 8 lap race is dam impressive, may need more GT cars to enter World Time Attack like the little Lotus

Hate to say it Mark but 1500kg+ (at any power level or tech wizardry) will have no chance against the Lotus.

Btw anyone get the email from SL asking people to register what tyres they are running, so the manufacturers are stocked up? You have to wonder how gullable we are i suppose!

Slicks I assume? I wonder how it would go with semi's?

Yes, my point exactly. We have no delusions of defying physics, especially in the time attack format with available tyre selections.

Yes would be on slicks, but still be on a harder compound I would think as they are racing. Would love to see some times on very soft slicks or semi’s that would only last 1 lap.

No good news Coop;

"Thanks for the email.

I'm sorry but we don't carry those model tires.

Kind regards,

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
