Dude, as I said those circuit slicks aren't going to do the job you want!  

BFG DRs or drag slicks will however, and it's well documented what size DRs and what size drag slicks work on a GTR.

Remember the BFG gForce DRs in 17"/18" aren't what you want. You want the 15" BFG Comp TAs with nice big fat sidewalls (50/60/65 profile).

im gettting a set of 16in standard gtr wheels from bu5ter on the weekend, hopefully ill be able to get some 245 or 255 width, and 50 or 60 sidewalls. depending on what sizes bf goodrich make.

i have to go pic up the cage during the week, its mild steel so hopfully will be sufficiant.

the only problem is there is never enough hours in the day to get things done

who is supplying the cage and are they following the andra technical direction in its construction if so can we be given their details so we can get one too.cheers paul

correct x2. Make sure the cage is legal. ATM most of the cage makers are super busy and expensive with ppl building cars for WSID.

The guy I used is in the same complex as UAS about 4 shops back, cheapest approved cage I could find. Thats CAMS not ANDRA of course but he was doing ANDRA cars too I think.

You do not have to use Chrome Moly for your cage, but if you do then it must be tech inspected by ANDRA before painting. if you use mild steel the size required is larger than the CM equivalent.

It is true that most shops are flat out busy at the moment.

flaunting rulz is run, if they dont accept the cage then why should i spend another 2gs on a cage and more fuel just to race, changing the plates costs me hardly anything, i might not run another 10 ever again, so im not sure if its worth it.

Mate, I think you need to take the safety rules a fair bit more seriously. Not that running a non-ANDRA approved cage will cause you to crash but more that an attitude that ignores these saftey regs could.

And Doughboy, "...and you plow into a wall." isn't really an image any of us want. You made your point but I don't think that's the best way to do it.

Oh sorry, I should have worded it "sneaks up and kisses the wall delicately". It's sad but only a graphic image is going to make people think about what could happen, especially in high speed motorsport. What about catapulting the car if the tailshaft snapped near the gearbox, or the transfer case/diff(s) locking up and make the car slide into the competitors lane and push that into a wall, or a flywheel exploding and loosing your feet etc. etc.

The rules are there for a reason, not to generate income in a cottage industry or to slow people down. Sometime you have to wonder what the consequences could be....

i already know what the consequences are, ive been around racing a long time, ive seen what can happen, i know rules and regs are there for peoples safety, but after i get a lower 10 i think ill give racing a miss for a while.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
