cheers BB just ordered the fronts only
-
well its not a toyota :-) yep Swanny its faster than my happly understeering gtr at the minute
-
mate will bow to your better judgement on this one Duncan, LOL never cold here anyway :-)
-
I use just the track option which i assume is the race option you refer too. My car is a track hack only so no road experience, although i would dare say they would be ok on the road not to much noise but not good on brake dust. They will stop you from cold without to much worry. There was some issues in using other pads be careful that the pad doesnt sit higher than the outside of the rotor as they did crack some rotors on targa using none G4 pads for some reason.
-
ok then i slipped over to the grey side :-) R32 has always only been for track its never been registered here at any time as its RHD
-
just buy the pads from just jap, cheaper really than the AP stuff and they work well both street and track options they stock both and the kit shoul come with a set of pads
-
cant drive them on the road here though, so a R34 was out of the question
-
faaaaaaaasssssst would love to see what its like in a cold climate but it gives you quite a kick in the rear when it does get some boost, even here in the not so cool desert
-
against the R32 understeering into walls ......LOL i take each corner as it comes :-) And no trees here in the desert :-)
-
LOL Roy! yep its a rear wheel drive only and ita got a perfect service history. As i said i have known this car for some time. And yep i parked it where the pic's were taken so i guess so, not easy mind. But its the wheels that make the car for me, and bloody expensive too
-
Roy not quite. this old girl is a 964 and its the last of the aircooled single turbos. The 993 is the last air (or oil as they really are ) cooled engine, and they are twin turbo and is a mighty beast to boot. And nearly crapped mine too this weekend .... 3 times in fact. must say its a very raw type of power delivery whoo hoo Chuckie, yep less than 2000 world wide and only 768 LHD, one of the rarer 911 for sure. Awww say it aint so Russ! say it aint so! had a few nibbles on the 33 and its been posted in the UK as well this week i believe.
-
Runs a hiflow kkk turbo and is pushing out 430 ish hp at 1.2 bar, has upgraded suspension and is still quicker than most new turbos on the track have seen it at a few porsche track days. Have driven a few times now and its quite a rush with the the big single turbo on a 3.6 litre going to be a daily driver for me though
-
Mine have now done 3 more race meetings and several practice days. Need to put new pads in now but still going strong, strong enough to run with a GT2 porsche
-
Yep and the best part is it one of 768 made....see below
-
Had a moment of weakness and slipped over to the dark side this weekend. Long story, but short version is i brought this and collect at end of feb
-
Cheers BB

Hey Russ again mate well done to you and all who help out with your efforts in Japan! Seems you my have help out Steve return from the dark side and see the light. Tells me he has a list as long as his arm for my old shit box. Not sure if i should thank you or curse ya LOL -
Cheers Matt Ok to sum up then: 6kg springs all round white line 26mm rear sway bar ( which i have ) white line 22mm front swaybar ( which is on order ) both with sperical links which i believe it the rear has and front should when it gets here. My thoughts are that the whole car needs to be rebushed as something is happen under the old girl so the wheels are all pointing in different direction, directly porportional to the radius of each corner. The harder you turn the worse it gets the pic above it appears that both back wheels are pointing out giving huge amounts of toe out. Dont get me wrong your advice is sound and i will get some softer springs but have to stick with the jap shocks for a while at this point in time.

Hello Matt, mate glad to have some help on the issue i can tell you. Your correct the picture is on full slicks, but the purpose of the pic was to give you guys an idea of what it taken place. We now have to run on RE55's which have only seen the issue get much worse as you would expect. The car still feels the same but understeers worse than when the slicks were used. The set up of the car is as follows Front ride height 350mm front wheel centre to guard lip rear ride height 340mm And we do run with a lock bar. Front settings 2mm total toe out 3.5 degree neg chamber Cusco items 5 deree castor adjustable rods spring rate is 10kg Tein circuit masters on softest setting currently cusco 26mm front sway bar as white item has not arrived yet but on order. Rear settings 2mm toe in But i wonder if the car is getting bump steer with the lock bar as it sits with about 5 to 6 degree angle up when on a flat surface. 1.5 degree neg chamber Tein circuit master on softest setting Spring rate is 10kg white line adjustable sway bar on soft setting Aluminium sub frame bushes in rear. The car its self is predictable in just about any corner, it will turn in well enough but then goes to quite bad understeer during mid corner to the point its a case of slowing entry speed by one gear on what i used to be able too so i can even get close to the apex. Slow corners i can hold my own but fast to medium corners the car happily understeers through them. After apex the car continues to understeer through the corner exit unless i wait before starting to accelerate out of corner. It is very rarely that over steer ever takes place and that would be caused by just a little to much entry speed. As i said the car will start to turn in but goes pear shaped after that. Not the greatest driver in the world but not to bad either ( won national kart titles ) so i could be part of the problem but try to be as consistant as possible when driving.
-
yep thanks for that
-
Guys have a look at the picture and for gods sake tell me what i have to do to correct it! GT2 porsche spanked me this weekend and not happy about it! The pic is on a banked corner but car is very happy to understeer it way around the entire circuit these days.
