SAU Nickname: Duncan

Car Make and Model: R32 GTR n1

Circuit Name: Eastern Creek

Lap time: 1.50.77

Modifications

Engine: standard rb26. 12psi boost

Power: 235awkw

Suspension: zeal coilovers

Tyres: falken slicks 240/610/17

Brakes: g4 8 piston 330mm

Body weight: 1500kg

Finally got back into the top 10, the slicks were brilliant, probably 1 second quicker than re55s and allowed 210 through turn 1 which was brilliant fun (just lift then turn in). It was 34o out there, and track temp was measured as 55 which would have hurt power (and tyres)

Car ran beautiful..until the drivers side caster rod broke when I hit the brakes for turn 2 @ about 220km/h. That's both sides broken now :O Only got about 15 laps in the end.

BTW I hear John has taken equal #1 spot on the Phillip Island list?

yeah, I think he was in the 47's or 48's. He had a massive lose coming onto the front straight, travelling about 200 meters on the grass at what had to be 180kmh. Good for him for keeping the boot in a driving out. Was behind him and it looked scary, but impressive.

Aren't we all glad Marcov doesn't post on here though. He was running 42's in his R32....

Makes us all look silly. John was in love with his car though. John even rang me this morning for Sams number as he wants to go visit him on the way home.

42's is insane... Where is Franky and JFK when we need them to come and play haha.

New PB for me even if it was on a laptimer... 1.49.82 backed up by a 1.49.88 the following lap. Don't know how I'll get into the 48's...

42's is pretty impressive those who have seen his car would know just how impressive it is. Bloddy fast and one of the best pressented without a doubt.

It isn't a street car though. There are three race track cars getting around now, Sam, JFK and Ivan, the chatty guy that loves to socialise.

Sam is leading the pack.

From what I know

1.42 for Sam

1.43 for JFK

1.44 for Ivan

On the full street trim scene,

Frank, 1.43

me, 1.45

Jack aka "The Stig" 1.46

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
