What a gorgeous day, http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?02/09/2012.PHIL.S24.Y

Re the Zed – I was informed it was one of those common final turn incidents.

I was talking to one of the PIARC guys, Gary scrutineering – some of the old guys have had very interesting lives and well worth a chat.

Anyhow, even though numbers were low, I always seemed to get involved in traffic at some point in my laps. Even had stripped out cars wanting door to door action.

Funny enough fastest lap of the day was the last lap of the day – PIARC had even stopped the timing,very few were still there and even less bothered to go out due to oil through turn 3.

Back off and sand bag like crazy?!? That's what I do to stay out of traffic. It's a big track.

Agree, no point taking chances with traffic chasing lap times. Tried a few things but PIARC were sending cars out with 1s gaps and cars behind didn't play game of letting the one in front go a bit. Best was to sit in pit lane for 30s or so but the EXE guys in 350zees had the same idea as well :), they were good lads, nice cars too.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
