Hey, thats Zandvoort. :thumbsup:

I will get my R32 over there one year to do a few European circuits. I imagine Zandvoort would be a touch circuit for a big,powerful Skyline! What sort of times are you doing around there? Any plans to do any upcoming events?

Yes thats zandvoort haha ;)

your right, its not the most easy car to drive on zandvoort, with the tight turns, hills, and few ''brake killing'' brake points.

normaly im round the 2 minute barier on street tyres (we have to run dot tires in the series).

curently im running Falken RT615 semi's in hard compound, with some softer tyres like R888 ill have to take an

extra 3 seconds, will try that later this year.

first event i'm attending will be superlap battle its 17 of june!

You have to go to assen to, its a nice track for skylines, much faster than zandvoort ;)

Was hoping to do Zandvoort in early August but have some other things coming up which means I can't be os until later that month. Zolder and Spa appear to be a good track for street cars with some grunt. :)

I see the car still has plates. How is Holland for registration of modified cars. The cost to register cars in Belgium is rather scary.

Its quite easy to get plates, they don't look at anything. Most difficult is to keep them, as you cant make more then 98db, but normaly its no problem.

Let me know when you come over!

Spa is the best track there is, together with "the ring" ofcoars!

Hey mate,

What gearbox are you running? Fantastic looking 32!!

Not sure whether you were asking about improving lap times, but if you were :P for quicker lap times IMO ... (all relative to budget obviously)

Your engine looks the happiest bw 5500 to 8000 (I like to

400ps at 4500rpm newer turbos can do this) .... with a t78 there is definately time to be gained coming out of a slow corners 70km/h On the tyres you quoted ... I dare say ur loosing seconds off ur lap times as this will compound into the next turns.

What are ur tire options? The ones u quoted are at least a couple of

Seconds slower per lap compared to a Hankook z221 or yoko ao50

or even bridgestone re11s as these are all in the same class in oz...

Good luck for now !!

:cheers:

Thanks mate,

I know i can get seconds quicker with other tires.

I bought those tires for half the normal price, just to try how they are, i will try the the avon zzr or maby the new federal fz201. Yokohama and other brands are difficult to get, and verry verry expensive. Only yoko's that are available are the ad08, but im not sure how good they are....

I need an extra 10kmph in the slow corners.

It would help me with the slow spooling turbo...

Time to import some track tires! Haha

Will be upgrading the turbo for next season to a holset or gtx series or something like that

Yoko AD08's are one of the best street tyres around if not, the best for basically a street "semi" legal tyre. You would definitely pick up some time using better tyres and more speed in the corners!

    • Many thanks for your responses, guys.
    • This is why I can't afford a Porsche 911 or a new M3. Farken. Will hopefully provide me with a bit more  braking capacity at SMSP. Going from a 324mm to a 354mm rotor will also help dissipate heaps of heat. Not mention, the rears will also be upgraded to balance the brake bias. Believe it or not, with just only front Brembos and the rear OEM Sumitomo, I can actually feel the brake bias towards the back, hence trail braking into turns I could feel the rear end being unsettled. Hopefully if my broscience serves me correctly, I should resolve the brake bias by upgrading both front and rear calipers.
    • I'll chime in here with my experience. Motec is great if you have the money and know a good person to support you. They don't really offer retail support and the dealers make SFA margin on the product, so the business model is setup for you to be supported by a dealer. I'm lucky enough to know a guy who's ex Motec and very generous with his time and is a total boffin. In addition to that, I also use Brad Sherriff who's an absolute legend to work with. The downside to Motec is the software isn't very intuitive, pay to play, poor/limited online support and costly upgrades.  I've not owned an Emtron myself but a good friend runs a performance workshop in Melbourne who is an Emtron dealer. They won't be fitting any more to customer cars because of the poor level of knowledge within the Emtron support team and lack of ability to solve issues with the platform. Not to mention the circumstances around the establishment of the product and company in the first place. I've run Motec's since the old M8's back in the early 2000's so I'm certainly not without a bias but I look at it like this. Everyone acknowledges Motec as the best consumer grade product without spending mega dollars on Bosch Motorsport / Life Racing and so on. When you consider the real cost of your car (not what you tell your mrs) the cost difference between an Emtron and a Motec is tiny, why would you compromise over a few hundred dollars?
    • Closer to getting the shit box back on the road. That long hose, took 2 months to acquire. However the rest were all already to go same week I ordered them. For those playing at home, that long hose is for a RB25DE N/A motor, as they don't run a water/oil heat exchanger, the hoses underneath the plenum are much more elegant and not a maze of shit.
