We did the other rear guard yesterday. It went even better than the first. I now have 265/35/18 tyres fitting all round! Hopefully the AO50's that I'll be running later in the year aren't wider than the RE55's...

Awesome stuff. Love the R32's. Great to see you enjoying it on the track and loving it.

Any weight reduction plans?

Not really except the sound deadening has already been removed.

How much u pick up the A050 tyres for?

Haven't bought any yet. I'm expecting around the $550/tyre mark

I like your style of guard mods, overfenders = FAIL.

I don't mind the overfenders but this worked out and was cheaper too.

I remember reading somewhere the 050 were a bit smaller than RE55's mate in 265...

Hope recollection is correct.

Love the car, love the build.

Following it all on FB for a while now, must find time off work for SL 2011 :D

Top stuff mate. Should get you back into the top 10 on the EC track times!!!!!

What is the goal at EC?

Yeah should get me in top 10 again haha.

I would like to go as fast as a 1min 42 but I don't think it will be this year. Maybe 1:44. Realistically it's a whole lot more car than I'm used to and it will take a while for my driving to catch up.

With 330rwk, bigger brakes, lighter car and the 265 A050's, you will go a lot quicker than 44's! Sure, it may take a track day or two but definitely some good times to be had. Should be fun with 330rwk!!!!!

Will be more like 280-300 as motor is internally standard. E85 could be a possibility in the future for over 300. Not sure yet. Whatever is safe really. Don't want a grenade engine.

*face palm for buying this motor*

That thing will go strong for a lot longer. Compression was good when we pulled it out and had a great tune with very low knock levels.

You election not to go for the 295 Advan Russ?

All that work is a mild waste for a tiny little 265..... :P

295's wouldn't work on the front unless I go for GTR uprights. I'm already running a 10mm spacer for inner clearance. 30mm doesn't seem like much but when you consider that we've already stretched it ~50mm, 30mm is lots more!

When you make 295's fit on yours I'll copy you :P

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
