    Not anymore, sold my second set due to space constraints and usage. So a requirement for me is some street driving (car isn't a daily, lucky to be driven twice a month) but with a track focus.

    Been a while since I've heard anyone mention Kumho tyres. It's like they've fallen off the radar in terms of street/track tyres. I still want to get below 1m50s on the RS-4 tyres at SMSP, just because lol. Even doing a 1m52s lap, going into T1 was sketchy af.

    Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.

    I think depending how much left over cash I have after all the kids and wife (daycare, extra curriculum activities, toys, and whatever they drain from my account, wife's spending, etc.) I might go for the Advan A052 OR if the bank account says no, then Nankang CR-S.

    I personally haven't been in this situation, however have repaired a cracked radiator using JB Weld and held up until I could replace it with a Honda Accord years ago. Maybe @GTSBoy might have a sound strategy?

    It's great, fantastic bit of kit for the novice like me. One thing it doesn't do, as @No Crust Racing pointed out before, is capture CANbus data. Would be great to get additional data from the car to overlay. I'll download the video from my 56s for a laugh soon.

    I think just better tyres, I'm just on Hankook RS-4 tyres at the moment, which aren't really meant for the track. Also, been mucking around with my suspension for sometime now and I'm really happy bow neutral it is. Car doesn't want to just oversteer or understeer like it did years ago. Time to put on proper tyres one day and see what the shit box can do at SMSP, One Raceway and Luddenham again.

    Looked pretty serious too

    A few fast stock BMWs, I'm not too far behind.

    PB the karnt, then lost an IC clamp. Was also warned about go sideways 😂 He said he understands the track is hot and tyres let go in the heat. Called it a day 4th session, came on the throttle on Lap 2 and lost boost. No idea where the passenger side IC Bluetoothed to, and it was getting quite hot so called it quits. Waited for the other boys then we ended up at the pub for 3 hours lol. My mate in the R33 shit box managed a 59s on his first track experience at Luddenham.
  11. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Fark this... mental health day it is tomorrow. Booked Luddenham lol Is the clutch fked? yep Do I need to fix that in tank venturi? yep Will I do any of the above? No
  12. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Haha yep, everyone stalls mine. Even catches me off guard when I'm trying to reverse up my driveway into the driveway with a decline. Hoping the twin plate sprung organic is a bit more forgiving for my old and tired body/legs/pelvis.
  13. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Yeah same as yours, however just sprung centre. Trying to prolong the box going KAPOW as long as possible lol
  14. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Been needing a new clutch for a while, but holding off because of life tingz and adulting. But... Being of Asian descent, I can't pass on a good sale, especially everyone else is selling it for $2k+ (JJR has it for $1799). Really on the fence on this one, because the unsprung version of this is $1281 via Shitbox (Sparesbox) and the sprung version is quite a bit more (no idea why Shitbox doesn't offer them). Ending up just sending it and getting the twin sprung organic. Mainly because I wanted the car to be nice to drive and didn't want to make it more of a shitbox than it already is.
  15. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Yep, I blessed with the same dilemma before. No where to recycle, no where to drop them, so into resi waste disposal it went.
  16. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Peak Skyline ownership 🥲
  17. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Wow.. I literally just refreshed my oil with oil from a 20L mini drum that's probably about 5 years old. It will get a thrashing in a couple of weeks on the track too. But hey sure, if you want to discard new oil, thwn go for it.
  18. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Damn, it's at night. Should do a morning Royal National Park Sunday cruise one day. I'll take the shit box out and take my son for a drive. He likes hearing dose, suuuututuuturuuuututu lol.

    I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
  20. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Super keen on the dyno results, make sure to post up ECU logs with RPM vs. MAP vs. ignition timing (if you want to disclose that).
  21. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    That's great news Skyline scene is a bit odd (yes I've been following that particular Facebook page), and most of the owners are young boys with no money.
  22. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Weird looking RB, but looks great. Can't wait to see the Ver. 23 of the car.
  23. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.
  24. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    @GTSBoy you're not wrong 🥲 I'm stuck in a shit box Nissan for life, gone way too far down that rabbit hole.
  25. Dose Pipe Sutututu
    GT-R owners love drag racing, here's a S58 stock motor, stock turbos doing a 8.9s https://www.instagram.com/p/DBq0s10pkx5/
