Nah , the tyres you have will be fine . Speeds are not that high and you will scrub them up anyway so best to use the crappy rubber.

We aren't looking for the fastest times around the tests , just a steady improvement.

Ken - they are absolutely awful to drive on - and theyve only got worse since cos the way ive been driving the car lately. When i took it out the back of Jarrahdale on Sunday - i found the car very difficult to control specially when cornering - so if i can get my hands on some loaners i would rather do that.

Been taking your depression out on the poor car ?

Trust me , it won't be too much of a problem if you don't get any.

Why don't you get some 2nd hand ones for a while before you can afford new ones.

And yes , I saw your post re. not buying crap tyres again but a lot of the problem was stuffed shockies causing the lumps in the tyres.

nah im getting second hand ones coming to me - couple of weeks away tho - its insurance n rego month im soooo poor in june - bloody paying rego on two cars!! But i cant not have new tyres - as dad said no point having a performance vehicle if you cant drive it properly - aidwin saw it bouncing all over the road very uneven - might as well be driving with square wheels.

Paul said he probably can get me some loaners.

Yes my poor car gets a lot of my fustrations taken out on it - hopefully it'll escape the polices attention tho.

besides im a competitive person - i wanna good time doing it for the chickies :)

Yea but it's a training day and I'm not interested who gets fastest time.

What we are trying to achieve is smooth control , good planning and recognition of car dynamics and how it can work for you.

I could probably jump in any of your cars and beat your times but that shows nothing.

I want you to better your own times , not some one elses.

cheers

ken

my car gets it if im pissed off so if im calm i'll better my own times - if im pissed i'll try and better everyone elses.

i dont know might just be the state of mind im in but i cant wait to get out there hehe

    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia body...
    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
