No Crust Racing

If it's one of these then you will have no problems, I got mine in a ifre sale when the new model was coming out so it was crazy cheap. The new model is much nicer but also twice what I paid. I've done a couple track days and some DECAs in it without issues. The only thing you might want to consider is how narrow the seat is for a given size, I'm 6ft and 80kg so pretty average and it's a nice snug fit for me. If you've got broader hips or a fat ass you might struggle a touch, test it naturally EDIT: If you can, make sure you get the removable back and leg padding. The back one is especially useful and gives better lower back support. I'm not sure what he's asking for them but as a reference point I paid $500 for mine brand new, though it was a run out and the velo adjustable mounts were extra. I also sw a blue one go on ebay that was basically brand new for $350. Hope that helps.

Mustn't have looked too hard.. lol

Ca has no bov from factory at all and seems more aggressive without it, just felt a lazy with it on, smoother bit lazy. I've tried feeding the wategate from the tb and from its current location on the hot pipe, boost is far more stable on the it pipe on this car.

I've opted to remove it. Did some more testing and the car is better to drive hard without it. I'll stick it on the shelf for now incase this thread produces some good reasoning for putting it back on. Cheers

Hmm I was told to have the wastegate source as close to the turbo as possible so it's right on the turbo outlet pipe. What I'm more interested in is whether or not to stick with the bov, maybe with the small port blocked. I might test that today. Have others found their power delivery and lag between shifts better or worse?

14psi on a T25G (SR Turbo) R33 Factory BOV is not adjustable. Read a few threads where people block the small port. Have you run without one?

Afternoon Gents I've been doing some "seat of pants" testing with the Silvia (CA18 no BOV from factory) for track style driving, as in flat out - not street style get on boost for a bit in one gear to get some flutter then cruise stuff. The car seemed to build boost slowly, hold it poorly and fall off boost quickly between shifts. I put this down to one of two things. 1) The Turbo XS bleed valve it came with. 2) No BOV (my reasoning being that between shifts it was stallin the comp wheel a tad). So to remedy this I did two things. 1) Fitted a TurboTech boost tap, I've had great experience with these in the past. 2) Fitted an R33 plumb back BOV, plumbed in between the AFM and the turbo inlet. I noticed afterwards that boost was building about the same rate (noise is slightly different though) and that rebuilding boost between gear shifts seems to be about the same. No bleeding in the top end now and holding boost much more steadily. I removed the BOV completely, leaving only the new boost tap, and found that (from the seat of the pants) boost came on quicker and seemed to come back on after shifts about the same as with the BOV. I know the BOV does have that small port that bleeds some boost off and I can feel that the car drives smoother between semi boost shifts with it on but it kind of feels worse from a "motorsport" point of view - power delivery just seems a bit flatter. So, is there any reason for me to persevere with the BOV, perhaps block off the small bleed port? In my head the car should have been better with it on but it seems to vent too much between shifts and takes time to spool again, I wondering if the rate at which I'm shifting when on the track negates any risk of flutter/comp stalling as I've already shifted and opened up again before that becomes a problem. Lots of rambling I know, lol Thoughts? Cheers

OK all laptops have been confirmed sold. Matty: I'll PM you so this thread can be closed. Cheers

Hey mate, I do have one more but I gave it to the missus. I've asked her and she decided to keep it sorry. I do have a 3ghz Pentium D workstation if you're interested but otherwise I'm all out of machines. Cheers

Auctions end in 3hrs! Cheap cheap

The two Dells are still available guys and are currently sitting at only $31 on eBay, the auction has 3 days to go and there's no reserve, they will be sold! http://shop.ebay.com.au/action*dan/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

Toshiba Confirmed Sold.

Yay They're a bit dirty from being rolled down the driveway but they look pretty decent. I love new rubber. Now to get them on the rims and get to the track! Interestingly, when measured against old Potenza R comps, these are a bit wider, but it might be due to the little kicker lip on the Fed's that protects the rim face.

Toshiba is sold pending payment, 2 Dells still available and plenty of people watching them on ebay too.

Hey guys, Got a couple of cheap laptops that would be ideal for students, tuning,home office etc. I've got 2x Dell Inspiron 5100s and 1x Toshiba Satellite A10 Dell Specs: Inspiron 5100 2.6GHz P4 512MB RAM 30GB CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive 15" Screen Win XP Pro License Dell Delux Leather Carry Bag Toshiba Specs: Satellite A10 Celeron 2.4GHz 512MB RAM 40GB CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive 15" Screen Win XP Pro License Dell Delux Leather Carry Case Prices include the Notebook, Delivery, The Carry Case, and a fresh install of Win XP Pro (license is attached to the machine). They also have the latest drivers and BIOS installed. Pickup is also fine and we can adjust the price accordingly. You're more than welcome to arrange your own freight too. Dells: $150 Toshiba: $130 If you're after more than one we can work out a discount. These are also listed on eBay starting at $1 with NO RESERVE so snap up a bargain quick smart. Any questions just ask Cheers

I'm running them on a Volk 8" front and 9" rear which should be ideal. GT-R rims are 17x9 right? so should be fine. You could probably fit a 245 if you wanted to I think. I've not driven on the KU36 but the consensus on here is that they are a good tyre for the money but we all know these are not R Comps so the grip will never be that good, but for the price and considering I'm just doing this sort of thing for fun, it makes them a decent choice. From what I read around the web, the RS-R should be a touch faster but not last quite as long. I'm not as concerned about the longevity as I wont be driving them on the street. Talk all this with a grain of salt, I don't have the tyres yet and my experience is limited to the tyres that came on the car (215 wan li's on 7" rims) and some very old RE55s (which were bloody awesome when coming from Wan Lis lol).

No I'm not associated with these guys at all and don't get any kick back or this, but I got a good price and the service was great so I'm sharing the love. http://www.wheeltechwheels.com.au/ I got a set of 235 45 R17s for 640 and he's driving them up from Winton to Wodonga for me as well, how's that for service lol Call and speak to Laurence, tell him Dan sent you. They go to Winton and Wakefield regularly so you can collect from them too.

http://www.wheeltechwheels.com.au/ These guys are running these on special for a month or so Speak to Laurence and tell them Dan referred you. These guys are at Winton monthly so you can collect from there, he also goes to Wakefield a bit. For the price he's actually driving them up to Wodonga for me, how's that for service lol.

Hmm, bit of a difference then but as I wont be doing the 10,000 road k's I'd expect another few track days and 8 or so track days would be like 2+ years for me lol I think they should be alright value for the money then Cheers guys

Yeah I see the KUs have a tread wear of 180 and it's 140 for the RS-Rs wasn't sure just how big a difference that would make. My car isn't bad on tyres but that's been on very old (so quite hard) R comps. What sort of life did you get out of them? EDIT: I have another set of cheap 17" rims and tyres for the rare occasion the car gets driven on the road so it will be purely track ks for these tyres.

To clarify a few PMs. There are 3 laptops in total, 2 of the Dells and 1 Toshiba. Price includes delivery and a fresh install of XP Pro using the legitimate license attached to the machine. Pickup is fine, offers are fine. Cheers

Morning Gents, I've been hunting around for some tyres and tossing up between some new high performance road tyres like the Kumho KU36s or Federal 595 RS-Rs or second hand semis (having no luck with semis it seems) I'm wondering if anyone has used the RS-Rs as I think I've come across a decent deal, 4x 235 R17s for $640 delivered. Normally the RS-Rs are a bit more expensive than the KU36s but this guys doing a bit of a deal to move them before tax time I'd say. So has anyone used the RS-Rs? I know plenty of you attest to the KU36 being an OK tyre for light track duties (I'm running an S13 with only 160+ rwkw) I need to make a call this morning so the guys can pack them into the truck for their trip to Winton. Opinions?

They're a bit old for that mate, so no HDMI ports sorry. there are various USB to HDMI convertors on eBay for cheap enough. As always, offers welcome.

Got a few PMs about delivery, the above price includes delivery or we can drop it a bit if you want to pick up. I'm in Albury Wodonga

Auction ends in a few hours and has bids so it will be sold, get in and grab a bargain guys. Sitting on only $15 at the moment!
