Heard a heap of people mentioning they are coming to this. Make sure you are all signed up.

I'm not sure what you guys are hoping for, but a nice cool day and a 1.31 would suit me :yes:

Also a number of us a staying at the Rose City Saturday night in Benalla.

If you are interested, it's $99 for a twin bed room. Talk to Bawa at the Rose (03) 5762 2611.

They have space for a number of trailers.

I need new front tyres...what have people here used on the front that doesn't cost too much?

I was thinking of getting AD08s on the front but they are pretty pricy

AD08's will last long, thus they are more pricey. They works out cheaper in the long term.

My brother runs them daily and 8,000km later and one track day. They look new still.

Speak to Shane at Traction in Rowville and see what price, tell him your from SAU.

I am hoping to make it and there is a maybe 1/3 chance. Tune didnt go to plan on Saturday and cam gears, cams and another turbo being tried over the next few days. If its all healthy will be bringing it for a run. Otherwise PI at the end of month for me.

Apparently the AD08 are changing to an AD08R so there's a shortage of them and won't be getting them to June/July

Shane's sorting out some Yokohama tyres suited for the track for me

Just what I was told when I asked for a pair of AD08s. They weren't too sure what they were going to be called but that's what they thought its gonna be called.

More expensive/fast tyres that I cant afford. Unless they are bringing out used edition that are half the price :) $100 slicks for the win

How many exhaust manifolds, turbo's, cams, intake plenum's has the car had again?!!? :woot:

LOL, You would be surprised that its not really that many. And the mods I have done to my car in total only add up to maybe 3 sets of semis. Mods are hopefully not consumables. Over 2k for tyres is scary.

So...if anyone wants a set of 295/35/18 AO50 soft compunds that have only done two sessions at Superlap last year on an EVO then hit me up. I was going to try and squeeze them onto my car but the cost of new rims etc means I dont care to do it anymore

I know, Just having a stab :P

This is 295 on a 10.5. So I'd hate to see what they look like on a 9.5. You could get em on 10, not sure what the performance would be like.

From what I remember Traction sayings the IPRA guys run a 265 on a 9" and it bulging.

If you can get hold of some 10's, then I'd try it. 9.5, is going to be taxi spec, I'm not sure the tyre will work that well. Hell wake em on the 9.5's and prove us all wrong.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • 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?
