So you were running about the same power as my car which would have 0% traction loss with 8kg rears and less suspension work...

 

Yep, but your power came in way later. I have 4KG rears with helper springs, a Nismo 1.5way diff, running -1deg camber and AD08R's which were up to temp and running 30psi hot.

Not saying it's the best setup in the world, but it's not like it's a slammed 15KG rear springed 2 way on stretched 195 nankangs that cost $4 each :P

Yeh the other thing that I gotta keep in mind is the falcons are sensitive to diameter, like if the fronts have 650mm diameter and the rears have say 600mm (an example) traction control light just goes nuts thinking its spinning all the time, which is annoying because the 265/30 is cheaper than the 275/30s but the diameter is slightly smaller and don't want to have those annoying ass problems.

So I stick to tyre sizes I know look good and work

True, I mean I just copied pasted the emails but yeah. Finding sticky tyres in 19s with the right sized sidewalls, a lot of makes just make them big sidewalls which I don't really want (like a 245 / 40 as oppose to a 245 / 35) Invos / RS3 / NT05s / AD08s much harder to find them in the sizes I want, and if I do sometimes the prices are just stupidly high compared to the 'thick side wall' of the same tyre. Anyway seems st george are probably my best bet

Go with the more common one. remember sidewall is a % of the width too, not a direct measurement

Lack of PT from the airport is balls

I'd be happy to give up the most liveable city title for a year or two to get this done

 

yet neither liberal or labor will do it.... 

we need Kennett back... Kennett would have done it if he had time

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
