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,

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
