G'day Snowman,
My car still has the standard ceramic turbos so I'm not to keen to run them on the track in case they let go. I've got an email with Benno to book me in but god only knows when that will be I'll be up at Winton but it will a last minute decision whether I'll race at all.
I'm looking for some TE37's at the moment (I have a note on the GTR Wheel package thread on these forums). I have some Stern 18*9's with a 24 mm offset at the moment and they seem to fill the R32 guards out as far as possible. The 18*9.5's with +22mm offset in the TE37's are the only ones I can find that come close and they will be 8mm more track so it will be a tight fit.
The Stern's are three piece rims so the caliper clearance is not great. I was going to transplant my CSC brakes to the GT-R however the calipers are a bit different. I will probably look at some AP's with 355mm rotors, but I'll get Howard Reynolds at race brakes to test fit a couple of sizes with my road wheels.
Thanks for the geometry settings. I'm tipping a few spins first time out for me until I get used to the RWD bais.
Are there any gun suspension guys out there that are used to set these heavy dungers up? I know of Ralph at Tru Track and Nathan at Advantage Suspension.
Experience has taught me to throw as much as I can at tyres, brakes and suspension and leave the engine relatively mild to have a reliable fun track car.
Cheers
Andrew
