Them's fighting words!

Maybe you're right though, with those heavy cast D1Rs and all

GTS-T will hit the track before the GTR does

And if it's slow it'll be the driver, thing is reasonably well set up for a daily

would like to come to sandown, but got shit on :(

gloria off to Centreline Suspension for JDM treatment. i was surprised chris knew what was going on before i had even said anything "so we're going to need a lot of negative camber, and you dont mind if it exceeds 100mm ride height?"

take a lot to get a gts-t around a track quick,and if it a good daily then it's not there...just ask Simon.

dialing out the understeer of such a heavy motor at speed is very hard.

It's a manageable daily. There are much more friendly cars going about on the street, but people are surprised when they drive it how palatable it is for the power output and how quick it can be putted around mountain roads. I modified it with the intention to make it capable and retain some creature comfort - expensive process and ultimately a compromise for the street is usually a compromise at the track, yes, but even things like 0 camber for a street setup, tyre and brake pad choice...things I can easily change before a track day...make it a better daily driver.

Adjustable everywhere and poly bushes throughout, the KAAZ 1.5 way is wonderfully predictable and helps her to be tail happy when you want it to be, really helps with turn in at moderate to higher speeds and the opposite at lower. Granted I'm not doing 160km/h corners on the street, but it'll be interesting to see how the car goes nonetheless. I think the suspension would be the thing to hold it back given the struts sound a bit shot after years of Toorak Rd. If nothing else I still have a decent whack of power to make use of our long straights. Could always give a better driver a chance in it and see what they think.

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
