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.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
