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

More GT cars , yes please.

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.

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

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,

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
