    Agree, I have some used Porsche slicks sitting on my new rims for when the Silvia ever runs again. Not sure what R comp I'll try next, maybe Z221s also.
  2. No Crust Racing
    So you were over tyred for the power as I said above. A mate with an R33 and 300+rwkw on Z221s cannot get a full 20mins session from them, but my guess is he would've been doing faster than 1:09 at Wakefield, it's all relative. Nothing wrong with over tyring the car, but the reality is most people are running Z221/equivalent advans, and in my club, used slicks also, and will still cook the tyre in 20mins because the cars are far more powerful and suspension far more capable than it used to be allowing us all to go much faster. Same goes for any "issue". I could go a full 20mins and not see oil temps above 110, but the car had under 200kw, and very decent/ducted oil cooler setup. You can apply the same approach to any aspect of the car and when you do all of them you can go run 20mins flat out. They call those GT3 cars I think Anyway, agree to disagree, but I think Johnny's pattern of hot/cool laps is fun for lots of club level cars.

    No stupid questions and yes in my experience at club level lots of people follow this pattern which is why watching your mirrors is very important and considered poor track etiquette if you fail to do so.

    I've only had limited experience with budget R comps/good street tyres (NankangAR1/Federal RSR etc) but neither would come close to a full 20min session at the level of push required to get a PB for my car i.e. 100% Maybe bigger dollar tyres will give better consistency, but I can't think of many affordable tyres that are going to give top tier PB level grip for 20mins of 100% push unless your car is heavily over tyred for the power/suspension capability etc. I would go as far as to say if your tyres can last that long you are not driving anywhere near as hard as the car can handle. Time attack is called 1 perfect lap for a reason.

    I'm with Johnny and yes I used to do that process often because my tyres could not handle more than 2hot laps to start then 1 ever other lap because I drive like shit and I am brutal on the gear. As I was nearing the end of my last season and worrying about the stock CA surviving so I could win my class I was also dropping max RPM, down to like 6500 and only doing sometimes 2 hot laps in a session as the season old tyres were giving up, and yet I kept going faster every track day so you don't gotta rev/drive/turn in hard to set a good time. Especially when you're as average a driver as all of us will be.

    That's fair, lots of work to track prep it, risk of breaking it, all time and money and you're covering both of those so it's easy for us to sit back and say go for it son! If you do go, knowing the engine is older, just be kinder to it I guess. Nice gradual warm up, 1 hot lap maybe 2 max, cool down lap etc. Just give the engine a chance to manage thermal loads and oil return to the sump.

    Given you wear a harness, get a HANS.
  8. No Crust Racing
    I follow F1 and watched a few eps of DTS, was not impressed at the manufactured drama/bs. It has brought a lot of new fans in though so that's cool
  9. No Crust Racing
    Oh and yeah I'm not dead

    I've heard that story before too, the ripping through the floor bit, and I do recall seeing some pics at one point but I don't think it was an old jap car. Either way, full weld in for me because dedicated race car. I would be a bit more game to track a newer car with a harness bar/hans setup given all the airbags and improvement in safety cell design, but probs not an older jap car.
  11. No Crust Racing
    Well done
  12. No Crust Racing
    Why is there no pictures of ports, at least I was sharing detailed pics man. I'm not savvy enough to tell from pics posted but is this a VVL head now? What happened to the NAPREC one?
  13. No Crust Racing
    Subscribed for 12k rpm video thx
  14. No Crust Racing
    Glad to see you enjoying the car my man
  15. No Crust Racing
    Fair enough, I think about this a lot as I chip away at my build(s). What do you think is your limit? $$? Until you crash/come close? Until you win at a certain level etc?
  16. No Crust Racing
    Serious car is serious. What's the longer term goal here?
  17. No Crust Racing
    Glad you got out and enjoyed the car a bit, top shit
  18. No Crust Racing
    Properly caged they are very similar, especially when you can run an S15 subframe in everything else. I will not be tempted again...
  19. No Crust Racing
    It's called a test for a reason lol Shit breaks, fix repeat go fast etc. Interior looks lovely I have a soft spots for 180s vs Silvia's, so many times I have almost bought a 180 roller but I can't part with my shit heap.
  20. No Crust Racing
    Popped in to see if there was an M3 yet, left disappointed.
  21. No Crust Racing
    Awesome progress, well done. Filter setup looks neat, not worried about it being damaged there?
  22. No Crust Racing
    This comment interests me, especially from a QLD'er as I see so many cars for sale up that way vs Vic. What makes you think this? There's been laughing emoji's on every sale post since before the market shifted upwards and that hasn't changed. People are still asking big sums and getting them. A guy I know recently sold his 32 and 33 (with 34 front end) to buy a basically stock black R34 GT-T with 180ks on it and it was 45k, I almost died 0_0 He'd been looking for quite some time.
  23. No Crust Racing
    Swap you a class winning partially assembled S13 almost roller depending on the day and a 6 pack of McNuggets

    We had water over our driveway from dam overflowing for the first time ever recently, only a few inches, but it had to fill the dam and overwhelm the overflow first. This was because our neighbours dam had blocked/spilled over, then he unblocked it so we had the overflow and the spillage coming at the same time plus the rain. The water table is defs full.
  25. No Crust Racing
    I did a fair bit of prep work before the rain and then we got less than expected and spread out so we actually faired really well, you guys got pumped (you are up blue mountains way yeah?)
