fastest lap i can find from big red is 1.40.35, so paul's 1.39.5 is the fastest gtr lap time at the phillip island ever in a skyline, unless someone can please verify if i'm incorrect.

Thats not Paul's PB at the island, 1.38 i think but he can confirm.

First time at PI in the R35... Agree with everyone about the epic tyre squeal. Need a lot more camber next time and can't wait for next one i can make...

great battle there. interesting to see the different handling characteristics. GTR killing it out of the corners but Audi has great mid corner balance and speed.

what tyres were you guys running?

And big red is a GTST not a GTR.

I'm sure Alif was sub 40 as well.

I'm not sure if this is confirmed, but it was mentioned Paul's car had done. 35-6 or something with a Pro driver.

The R35 went around in sub 37.

hey john, what R35 did a sub 1.37?? is this confirmed or something you heard from a friends friend?

cheers

1 7 SAU Vic Adam Newton (1) Nissan Skyline SKL 5 5 1:39.7769*

It's a far more sorted car now though. I would imagine there being more time there.

The R35 ended up with a 1:35.5966 that is on race slicks though. lol, he did a 37 straight out of the gate in the first session.

thanks guys for confirming adam newtons time, can you please help with locating the r35 135.596. what date? what name is the driver? where do i locate to confirm that time as im still trying to find it?

thanks

On UTQG tyres =>140 Standard AWD, with R compound tyres modified AWD. As long as you leave the FPR and injectors alone that is.

I think the rear quarter windows are lexan, but they weigh around the same as glass with the naca ducts/scoops so that would be ok.

We were both running OEM showroom tyres... Dunlops for both of us I believe. The Audi was a bit slower, running a 1.52 PB for the day. I was only stuffing around in the R35 in that session as my tyres were all but shagged...

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
