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!

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
