2) gets pads next to the rotors for instant application.

Pressurises the system and gets the pad to the face of the rotor. It makes a huge difference.

You know when you go to press the pedal, it's going to be rock hard. Which it is. If you don't do it, the pedal will travel a long way before the car really starts to pull up. This way, you have total confidence and it pulls up straight away.

It's just a touch, not enough to slow the car at all.

Sandown Turn 1,5 and Winton Turn 1(11) get the same treatment.

Most touring car drivers do the same thing, well that is where I stole it from.

I don't even think about it anymore, just natural.

I wish I knew, my car felt great down the straight, it was already wound off the clock in 4th and 5th just kept pulling hard, :rofl:

Yeh those 180kph clocks are pretty shit lol.

You were pulling away from me nicely Artz, I think I was hitting 250 up the straight, not sure how accurate my speedo is up there though...

I'd be very suprised by that.

My speedo doesn't work and only goes to 180 anyway.

Data tells me. 254kph max and 179 is slowest through turn 1. Crazy fast!

yeah 180 speedos are rubbish and mine reads 10% fast anyway, this was the first time ive used racechrono and got 231.

Rus, 179 though turn one is awesome ive got like 160 or something. must be that wing working?

254, impressive!

What about through the Hey Shed?

I'd be very suprised by that.

Perhaps they need a radar at the end of the straight. Turn one had a shit surface, I can't believe the speeds some of you were doing through there.

Sandown should be interesting with moar boost in the 76, should be well over 350kw by then (and I can actually get it to the ground unlike you guys.) :P

Wow. Didn't realise that hayshed was that fast! Awesome corner!. Apex was 187 and got to 196 before braking for lukey heights.

How bout you?

Could I send you the file to overlay? Would be an interesting for comparison.

I'd love to say it's all aero but to be honest I would say it's a bit aero but mostly being a lighter car. Mine is down near 1280kg. Probably a good 200-250kg lighter so that helps.

I think having the big wing and splitter will be improving the mid-corner a lot. Shame I wan't able to test the diffuser and cannards properly. Still disappointed I didn't get a good run before the engine let go...

My thing did 276km/hr last time - and it wasn't at full throttle.

These R35's sure are slippery things. My best max speed down there in the R34 was 245km/hr.

(These are GPS tracked speeds, not "speedo" speeds too).

Send it through.

I struggle for speed through hayshed a little, I'd like to be doing 200 through the apex. It's 180 at the apexi and 190 in the braking zone. I snatch 5th before turning in and am flat to the floor the whole was through. I have tried 4th a couple of times, but I need more revs as the thing is on the limiter in the braking zone in 4th. 5th is fine, as the car is very stable through that section of the track.

Turbo will small rear housing = no pull up top.

speedo said +230km/h but I was braking pretty early for turn 1. previous owner claims he saw 240~ on the hand controller once, but he also did a 1:54 lap so im not going to doubt it

Damn! That's fast! What power was that done with?

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
