yup... this year I did it on falken 912's in the dry and managed to give myself a bit of a scare on the fastest bit... recon I was probably just as fast pouring rain on the Nitto's

(bearing in mind that the surface of that road has EXCELLENT water dispersion)

This...comparing apples with oranges here. Even on the same cars traction is a totally different story with suspension setup and power delivery, let alone totally different chassis and gear ratios.

oraqnges lol. icwatudidthar

ya even with my power I could spin in 3rd when I had cold streets

semi's fixed that.

yeh if it doesnt sell in say 6 or so months, chances are ill keep the f**ker and keep going.

This... is what I was getting at..... ;)

no it wasn't lol, you out of all people wait for any chance you can to take a dig at someone. It is highly unlikely you would beat around the bush lol

While I do enjoy the good ol dig... especially at people with orange cars... I was actually referring to suspension in this instance ;)

Lol yeh.

Super streets= shit, do not rate them at all I reckon if I end up keeping the car they'll be coming out

Super streets are good at what they do, there's more to suspension than just springs/shocks...you probably haven't had the whole thing set up by a decent suspension place. Need corner weighting and purposeful alignment...

Lol.

I've been on the nt05 train for ages, nothing but praise for them. Full traction everywhere with 280rwkw, feels good man

S chassis is a bastard for suspension setup. Some run mega kg/mm springs other run soft.

iiirc JET200 run's 6/4 or 5/4 or something, while Revolution run 10/8 or 11/11.

At the end of the day 'traction' is a myth and people will have differing opinions of what 'loosing traction' really is.

You will always be compromising with a crossover tyre. NT05, AD08, RS3, R1R, RSR. All have their upside and downsides.

I'm on a 255 AD08 and when they are warm and up to temperature (their peak) they still slide around like crazy. I'm at a level now and car is at a level know here more tyre is needed / a sticker tyre. This same thing happened 12 months ago when I moved to a 255 on the front. The car and I moved on and pushed the 235 front tyre passed what it could do.

i remember driving behind kris a couple years back in my GTS4, pretty sure ham was riding shotgun. the body roll on that thing was f**king scary lol

anywayyyyyyy.

who here hates HSVs?

you know what you need richo, 215s on a 9.5" rim..

That's because Kris had 280rwkw iirc and standard suspension.... because that's how we should mod cars, power first

dude i DROVE that deathtrap!

280rwkw at like 9metres high with soft ass suspension through the hills.... must be a lot nicer now with coilovers lololol

    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate 
    • He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.
    • Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
    • Got my 34 gtt tuned last week. Car made 362 wheel horsepower at 19 psi. Turbo was the ATR43SS. Only other upgrades were haltech 2000 series. 650cc injectors, walbro 250, fmic. Pro hub dyno reads 6% lower than actual figure according to my tuner. Car is a real ripper now.  IMG_7261.mov
    • Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone in Melbourne (preferably West) has a non-S2 R34 front bar. If it's already off the car, even better!  Nothing too weird, I just need to get a cut-out of the hole that the front indicators clip into 🤣 (image attached for reference)   I've got a front bar from JSAI Aero, but those holes need to be cut myself, and I want to get it right so the indicators will clip securely. And my OEM bumper is a S2, so I have no reference. So looking for a member who might be able to spare me a few minutes to make a cardboard cut-out using your front bar.
