Everyone seems pretty accustomed to the difference nowadays. Considering how many cars you see running them on the street anyway.


I think you're talking about all those folks saying they're running Semi's and then mention they have RS-Rs or KU37s lmao.

associated tyre did an alright job on mine many years ago and have a pit style setup so low isn't an issue

Funnily enough someone who works there owns an R34 GTT that I see when I drive past.

I went to them a few years ago to get an alignment for my car. I had the specifications as they were hard to find and the response I received was "thanks we'll work it out". Ended up getting the car back with the tune wayyyy off. They made my car look like one of those stance cars with the amount of camber added, was maxing out the camber bolts. Won't be going there again :\

looking at fb someone asks: " i was under the impression that when events are help at race tracks and the organisers have to organise the insurance (aasa etc) doesn't that cover things like this? " Which is a semi-warranted question, but also a bit ignorant.
Response: " AASA/CAMS insurance for is Public Liability + ambulance costs @ the track; it doesn't cover medical transport from track to hospitals and other medical expenses.

AFAIK...

Ambulance Costs are a separate component that goes into organising a track day, it's completely independant to the AASA/CAMS permits (Track Public Liability)... but having an ambulance present at certain tracks (pretty much anything high speed) is often a requirement of AASA/CAMS granting you a permit for the track day.

We pay the ambos to be on standby the whole day, and to be a first responder should there be an incident. If the ambulance leaves the track with a patient to take them to a hospital, the cost falls on the patient (thus, why you get Ambulance Coverage for like $45/year)...

I wonder what happens to the track day if the ambulance has to take someone away (even if some old guy is having trouble breathing in the pits and needs a ride to the hospital), does the lack of ambulance presence shut down the track for the rest of the day? I'd had to think of the impact for the club if the ambo was gone for an hour and there was a major crash at the track...

Lack of ambulance stops PI and Broadford track days

You missed the VWL disagreement last week.
It depends on what you're trying to achieve, and how tight your sphincter is. But I think we all know the answers to these questions, therefore you already know the answer.

Should have bought my big single sedan

The answer is Nistune OR the R34 plugin GTT ecu from Haltech. Has all the features you want and 0 wiring, easy to tune, local, etc. Hard to argue against.

wont work on the new car.
will ask the boys at RP and see what they reckon

How can two ECU's that work perfectly on a R34 magically not work on a new car?
But -5's are really never the answer for anything, so I'll assume it's a 26 in which case Nistune is the answer.
Also, -9's are the answer. Also there's probably a plugin ECU for what you're doing.

 

Seriously the only reason for PowerFC is "it already had a powerfc in it"

There's a 33R PFC in for sales section with hand controller for $500

Tune for $500 and you're done for less than the price of a Haltech

That's why people like PFCs

Better at having a hand controller? I don't think so

But I carry a laptop and can fully tune my car wherever I go, with better functionality than a hand controller :P

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
