Duncan,

yeah a bit rough on dyno's, i believe in them, i just dont swear on them. I trust a chassis dyno for tuning as a safety point (ignition timing, boost and fuel) so that i can flog around a circuit and not worry about big lean outs, boost spike or irregular timing. Even then i err the paranoid side of things..I totally agree, its what hits the ground that matters.

Sydneykid,

-Fuel economy, i totally agree, but you know what my point was.

-Porsche racing is not F1 or V8 S/Cars, but i agree and take your point onboard.

-Sounds like you have a good dyno, Silverwater Automotive claim about 15% change in calibration every 3 months.

P.s what teams are you involved with? You may know my uncle (Pee Wee Siddle, Goold Motorsport) he has alot to do with Porsche Cup and runs the volkswagon racing team with Stokell and Timmy Leigh, not to mention unearthing Nelson Piquet into formula 1 back in the days, blah blah blah...

Tom Goold

Hi Tom, I know Greg, but not very well, he travels in higher circles than me. If I remember rightly I spoke to him a few times when he was the Ralt agent for Formula Atlantic/Pacific. I was at Calder when Nelson drove the Formula A/P for Greg, plus I saw Roberto Moreno drive as well.

Circuit racing people tend to be a bit insular and stay within their our team, plus he looks after a competing team now. The main issue is whether or not we will have any more production car racing, that's a bit of a focus right now.

As for "who is we", well a couple of years ago, on another forum, I told everybody who we is, and I got driven crazy by phone calls with people asking/begging for work to be done. We are a race team, we don't do any retail work, we don't have anything to sell. So it is of no benefit for people to know "who we is".

:(

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
