It is a GTR yeah ?

You are turning in a little early and getting on the power a little late, get to know your ATTESA and trust the 4WD to pull you clear of the corner

It also looks/sounds like your single pegging, get the LSD looked at

And for the love of god DO NOT CROSS your arms :no:

Its a GTS4 with a 26 in it so pretty much - I'm the guy that bought your brembos - stockies caught fire the session after that video

good call on the cornering, definitely got to build confidence now that i have some real brakes

Also with regard to crossing arms - i hear differing feedback on this - why not cross?

I'm also having trouble on the track and might upload one of my vids tonight. I find it really hard to keep corner speed up and the car seems laggy as I exit the turn.

Most of the time I have cars with 100+ less kw pull away from me out of a tight corner. If I try to exit any harder the car just under steers.

Oh yeah, hello

How did you go fitting them ?

I have since removed the Nismo Brembos and fitted some AP 6 pistons :)

If the car gets way out of shape mid corner your arms are tangled, read the corner and set your hands before entry and prepare for/expect it to go wrong and hope it doesn't

I have a bad habit of driving one handed lol, I have a video of me punting me 34 around Wakefield power sliding it out of the last corner and I look like I'm a Sunday drive hmmm

What LSD does it have ?

I have Whiteline sway bars in my 32 and cusco in the 34, go the adjustable white lines :thumbsup:

clamped the hubs up lice crazy, linished a rod down to the right size to centre it all before drilling and still managed to get off centre holes haha.

All bolted up sweet though

yet to see how it holds up on the track but I'm hoping i will at least get a full day!

haha i wish i had the coin to go all out on mine - one day.

stock diff as far as i know, was going to shim it because i need to replace my attesa pump so its got to come out anyway

Just ordered a front and rear whiteline kit - should make a difference

I rather strongly disagree with that statement :) Taking your hands off the wheel means that if it gets away from you mid corner and the wheel spins in your hands you have less of a hope of knowing where straight ahead is. Of course on the tight slow stuff there is always a compromise....but persoally I ama BIG believer in never taking your hands off the 3-9 positions on the wheel

i'll definitely take the hands advice onboard.

that was with r888's - best lap i got was a 44.something - but as mentioned before it was with almost no brakes (they let go and caught fire leaving zero pedal at the end of the straight, tested the run off)

Lol, Murphy's law :)

Those brakes as a set held up a few full days hauling up my 300kw R34 which weighs a hefty 1661kg + my fat arse, your nice lite 32 will be like retirement for them lol

Michael, got a dyno sheet, what's your mod list ?

-7's on E85, 325rwkw @20psi. I'm guessing there is something wrong though as I only saw 15psi on the weekend but the car still seems to go hard. It's just lagy is all.

Crossing your arms is not only perfectly fine, it's better than repositioning your hands on the wheel. Keeping your hands in position means you know exactly where the wheel is, and you're in a better position to make any corrections needed. There's no situation in that video that requires your hands to be repositioned before the corner. Only when you need about a full turn of lock would you reposition your grip before a corner. Pretty rare on a race track, even a tight low speed course like that. Mt Cotton Hillclimb's hairpin is about the only corner I ever need to do that for, and when I do it I end up with my right hand crossed back over to about 9 o'clock so you're ready to wind lock off if/when needed.

All the pros cross their arms, and keep at least one hand in position unless absolutely required.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
