PUS? Denver.

Yeha Aidwin but nowhere did it say it was a turbo ...... are there N/A R34s?? naaah dad wont buy me one ..... actually my dad is one person that is very sceptical ..... the only person that can sell an idea to him is me :) ..... haha i was trying to talk him into a new turbo today ...... it wasnt working very well tho :D but he's going to get me a price on chequer plate which he wasnt originally going to do.

Dad kept looknig at an R34 in a car mag of mine going "i really like that ..... that is so nice" so i go "can i have one?" but that didnt work well so i go "why dont you buy yourself one and i'll just drive it" that worked a little better :)

Hicks - i'll be interested to see what you make on dyno too!! yeah pauls pushing it but he's been fairly lucky so far ...... not sure when he plans to redo those internals tho.

i would love to do that PAS driving event ..... but i cant guarentee having a car :) ..... did crap at the training day i did so i would like to have another crack at it.

ahhh pussie PAS :) so u entered in driving event for that Denver?

Yeah your right Hicks an R34 is not a Dads car ...... its a daughters car :D nah main aim is to get my dad interested in jap imports ..... at the moment he's a Holden man :spew: but i plan to change that :) ..... iwant a convertible 350Z ...... i absolutely love zed cars!!

niz mmm i haven't driven an mc event in like a year, or more now..

wanna go do it again next yr when the rex is back in 4wd mode, see if i can get back to the top couple possies like i used to be at, hanging to drift around it tho..

mmm wanton tyre destruction

if an R34 has that effect ..... then im coming back as an R34 in my next life :)

Bam nah thats cool - i'll see you Thurs night ..... really excited about my purchase ..... first ever "Bit" ive purchased for my car :D ..... hopefully many others bits to come!!

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
