What he said.

If you find the limits of your car out there, my only question to you is; why aren't you driving for a professional racing team surrounded by easy women and earning bulk coin?

I would put good money you will find your limits before you find the cars. Especially being your first time on the track. Youre not out there to break records but to have fun safely and enjoy your car

^spot on

I never said I was the greatest racer alive. If I was I wouldnt need brake upgrades etc.

so does that mean you'll be out there?

there are plenty of guys out on the track in GTS-t's that don't run mega large brakes. and they do fine. and i doubt you'll be hitting 200km/hr down the back straight and need to pull up in less than 100m for the hairpin on you're first outing.

the GTR isnt a 2 tonne + landcruiser or a XR6 boat. you will be able to stop with the std brakes. just make sure you get track spec pads and good fluid.

if anyone is interested we have a lap timer and also some slotted front rotors and HC+ track pads for R32GTR in our sale section (also rear slottd rotors and full set of braided brake lines for S14/S15).

i might be able to come for a looksie, but id have a good guess and say the GTR wont be back together in time, and if i have the Mini going by then it wont be in any fit state to be thrashed around mallala :laugh:

Hey guys

My car came with kuhmo ecsta711 fronts and 60% Federal 595SS at the rears ( >_< prev owner ) ..265/35/18's

Will I be ok with these to run them out then get new tyres or shall I get new tyres now?

Cheers,

If you are looking for a bit more performance out of your tyres, id say go for the Federal 595 RS-R motorsport tyre

Tyrepower Blackwood will do these at members prices for you too!

If its your first day out there I'd say leave them on. They might not be great,but it will take a few sessions to get up to speed. If you can steer, have been before and take it semi seriously then look at a more performance based tyre

Yah its my 2nd track day but first time with this car

Ive been doing some forum readings...but there are so many types

Pirelli Pzero was good in my old evo

Potenza RE-11 (replacemen of RE-001???) and RE-01R not made?

Fed 595RSR and

Toyo T1R which I had in my old GTR

Your suggestion is valued

Cheers,

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
