hmm i have some camber on mine not sure how much, not much but a portion of the tyre is not in contact with the road, after driving on dirt you can see this. Kinda sucks, might have to pump the guards for zero camber get full contact.

295 on a 10 +38 with nearly 3 deg camber slightly pokes, for those wondering :D

Nice! Only problem is proper Semis will be a lot wider from what i can tell... 275 street tyres fit with plenty of space but a 265 in a semi is nearly contacting both sides as its much wider... That and -3 degrees wouldnt help much with traction so it kind of defeats the purpose of going to a wider tyre ;)

Mat, how much camber are you running?

In the front... Fk all! As i havent fit the camber arms yet, hence why the front tyres were nice and toasty on the outer edges on the left side at Wakie and cold in the inside.

On the rear, i think its back to rough -1.5 or somewhere near it as i had the track day to do. I had them down to -0.5 at one stage.

Can't really say it looks so basic now with the cage back in

  • 1 month later...

So i havent really done any updates in a while, basically because not much has happened... Since Wakie the car was unused and just sitting around... With all the talk of trackday prep i thought i best do some myself... SO i charged the battery... Prep complete :P

I went into the SMSP South day knowing the left side tyres were pretty banged up on the outer edge and also the alignment took a fair hit at Wakie when i had the offroad excursion, i drove it down the street and it was left hand down and pulling left... With SMSP Sth being a short track and just a fun day i wasnt to stressed and just ran it as is.

The one thing i took from this track day was that SAU NSW are a fkn top bunch of blokes! It had to be one of the best track days yet in terms of having fun.

The wheels just have black plastidip on them to cover the crazy gutterrash from Wakie... It looked pretty messy so as a temporary measure i coated them with the black. Of course we had to do the white writing on the tyres to match -

This pic actually shows some of the tyre damage on the outer edge...

With the lack of camber in the front it was just melting that damaged section...

Here is what the wheels looked like after a quick coat of plastidip...

What's with the headlight?

Headlights looks maad! The left one is open for intake yes?

Loving the car man!

Yeah one of the eyelids on my proper set of headlights got broken and looks really bad so i figured i would take them out and do the lense restore and replace the eyelids... The black set is just a set of empty shells of a GTR and was mainly for something different :P

Mad. I couldn't tell in the pic if they were just tinted or something. Looks the goods.

    • Hi I wanted to see if anyone knows the name of the OEM R32 rims because I can't find it anywhere
    • Gates is saying the same thing. They think I have the right bag with the wrong hose in it... I bought it off amazon, I'm thinking someone pulled a good old swapparoo and returned normal hose. Well looks like she's coming back out... Not very lucky with this hose lol. 
    • Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead
    • Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.
    • It shouldn't swell like that, (just looked it up) it should say SAE J30R10
