yeah thought I'd try the semi's, wasn't any better than when I ran on street tyrespinch.gif wrong sort of tyre, really need M/T's to get good 60' .. 1.9 is very average for us..

A mate I saw the following night told me about when he got it all right and nailed a 1.59 , not on drag rubber in a GTR R32 worship.gif thats where its at ... nail one of them and that will get you into the 11's thumbsup.gif and me into the elusive 10's

Wow yeah that's def where it's at, specially on street rubber.

Have new wheels with fresh rubber (same width & profile) fitted all round now. This should make a big diff straight up for me as my rears were fried b4 I got there Wednesday night. Had different width tyres front & rear which effects a GTR unless they're sized up perfectly profile wise to achieve matching tyre O.D. front to rear - which mine wern't :down: Some believe this is not the case but for me you can see it straight away on the torque guage as soon as you give it a bootfull. In my case with the previous tyres the fronts kick in latter than they should when compared to say my track wheels/tyres which are the same all round. You can also see this on the vids Brendan got of me on launch as my rears would light up for a while before the fronts would intervene and pull her away.

Good times,

Wes

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
