No Crust Racing

Apparently the local kart shop is a Revolution Racegear also, so we'll see what they can do for me.

See if you can buy it on eBay, there's various deals on at the moment.

I bought my suit online, sent it back and swapped for different size, wasn't a big deal if you pay postage and be nice

Yes and no. YouTube the clip of the rally driver who puts his car into a ditch at low speed and almost knocks himself out (I will post tomorrow if you can't find it). His nav had a Hans on, no issues for him/her. You also hit the nail on the head. I would like to do either/and PI, EC/Bathurst either in the Silvia or the GTR. As mentioned earlier, I have a family I'd like to come home to, and we're not talking big money in terms of "insurance". Plus, have you seen how shitfully I drive

I'm no engineer, but they didn't break after 1 track day so that's about all I can tell you. I've never had issues with Gktech stuff but the gear on my car has done limited ks.

I'm no engineer, but they didn't break after 1 track day so that's about so that's about all I can tell you.

I have 4pt Velo harness, 72mm strap which is just under 3". I'll check the Hans. I'll ask the local kart and bike shops, my best guess isni could maybe try a Bell helmet. I've got a young family and I'm driving harder now, making mistakes, sideways, offs etc so I just want that security. Also either add on to or replace the cage, it's one of Brad's (ProFab) bolt in, welded half cage.

Lol no e85, annoying to get here. GTR is on it and painful enough for that. Wouldn't mind 2863 though, should go harder than this $100 T28

Visors is something to consider too as I'd like a tinted one.

I was building GTR then, no Silvia spending.

Coming of the back of RS3 then, but fair enough.

How so cheap? The club boys all run slicks from the v8 Ute's, $50 each, but you need an 18x10 to run them which is a shed load of work for a 4 stud Silvia lol

If you guys are already committed and only a month or two away, I can wait. It's gonna be wet here for at least another month and I have some projects I want to finish on the car before I take it out again anyway. Hadouken comparing to RS3 I think so both reviews will be good.

I can't try them on locally, there's nobody here that stocks them. There's 1 karting place and a few bike shops.

I'm fully aware they are different class rubber. My point being that if I go 1sec faster on 255 rs-rr and say 2sec faster on AR1, the AR1 are better value dollar for speed. All that said, this is still budget racing so I want them to last while giving me some thrills.l and not breaking the bank. Oh and going AR1 will likely bump me out of the class I'm most competitive in, I'll be in with the big hp, full slick, serious cars, so no chance of finishing near the top. That's not that important in the end, but winning is always nice too. I'll leaning that way, but in the middle of sussing out a new helmet and Hans also.

Yes and no. I can get 255 rs-rr for 600 and you know I'm all about dem budget buys for the Silvia.

What about 255? I can get locally got $225 fitted

Then how the hell did you he get them for $130 lol

Helmet + Hans Packages Been looking at Hans devices as I'm driving more aggressively, run a half cage, fixed back seat, and harness. I do use a little neck support donut, but after seeing crash test footage about how the head just moves forward while everything else stays put, a HANS makes a lot of sense. My current helmet is just a Sparx basic rthing, not HANS compatible so I'd need a new helmet and ebay is running various deals at the moment. This can be had for $850ish delivered. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/131954318581?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true Anyone got experience with Racelid helmets or that particular HANS model? I'm also not sure which model in terms of degrees, I can measure this, but any advice on that front is appreciated.

Has anyone seen the AR1 in 255 R17? I can only find online listings for 235. What place in Adelaide had them that cheaply? Currently using 235 RS-R and was going to go for 255 RS-RR, but the AR1 seem cheapish and review wellish for racing myself against the clock. Ideally, would like them in 255 though as Im guessing the difference between 235 AR1 and 255 RS-RR will be a bit smaller.

I don't feel so bad now with an ECU, Wideband, Expander, and a few sensors

Nice.

Fuel will definitely help. Good luck with the tune, post graphs and then people smarter than me can help you properly.

Let me explain. N1s are full boost (low 20s) WAY earlier than that, even with Cams, unless it has the tamest tune in history. N1s, on pump fuel are not going to make 530rwhp, not here anyway. 5500RPM is high boost on -5s territory, with big cams, on pump.... "GTX2860/2863 should spool up around the same, as my current setup? " Who knows, because your setup is a mystery. A tag on a housing means nothing if the cores are not standard. None of what you're saying adds up so we're not going to be able to help you easily.

No idea because lots of what you say is contradictory? N1s basically ARE -7s so if they are magically not that responsive yet make 530rwhp, then maybe they are not N1s? You will also LOSE response from having bigger cams, if you're not compensating with gear adjustments, timing changes etc. Post some dyno graphs with RPM and Boost. I think you need to work out what you actually have first.
