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,

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
