350 mm rear wheel centre to guard front 340mm

First lot of questions: 1. How heavy are they (just out of interest) I am not sure of the rating but they are the solid jobbies 2. Ideally, but not necessarilly (See below) 3. Yes or with the circlip type height adjusttment. NOPE 4. Roll centre adjusters alter the suspension geomtery hence migrate the roll centre. Answering the second lot of questions: 1. So you need more spring stiffness relative to sway bar stiffness. OK I HAVE 7.1 KG/MM FRONT 6.6 KG/MM REAR 2. Then big up the spring rates. Dampers will work within a range of springs - but you need to check. 3. I understand where you are coming from. I got the wrong colour springs & I needed to go buy some new handbags, damn it all. I would recommend a combination of Eibach springs & Bilstein shocks. Springs can be chucked at little cost if they are wrong & the shockers re-valved if necessary. 4. Yes. I have some spares somewhere + some drawings if you can get stuff fabbed. 5. Get some more -ve camber! Particularly at the front. GOT 5 AT THE MOMENT

1. have 30mm rear and 24mm front cusco items 2. ok but should both spring and damper be done together 3. you mean lower the car with adjustable coilovers? 4. How? 1. as by the pics i am picking up the inside rear now 2. i can live with a less forgiving car , at this point its far to forgiving to be honest 3. need to get some adjustable coilovers then any suggestion as i am shit scared of chossing the wrong type size color etc etc 4. ok last option then

LOL with a paint job like that it aint going on any road:-) It is purely a track car and is not registered at all. and disgusting is my middle name :-)

A question for the suspension gurus. how do you tune body roll out of your car. It seems like my gtr is suffering form this after looking at some pictures taken when car was last on the track. Do i need to look at sway bar or coilovers or both to combat this.

I have done the alloy bushes in the rear sub frame if that a pineapple The sway bars back and front are Cusco items 30mm rear and 24mm front the shocks are Japanese Ohlins non adjustable front and rear. The spring rates are 7.1kg/mm front and 6.6 kg/mm rear. And thanks for the time to help this poor old punter out.

Righto if you look at the pic of my car you can see the inside rear is just about in the air and i think that is not helping with naff all grip during mid corner. Now what do i need to stop that from taking place??

I am amin i yer i just posted the link so you could see what the track was like as there were some good pics. I finished behind the bloody GT2 both times .7 ec in first race and .15 sec in second race

too close bloody GT2's are quick so i found out.

Hmmm the UTQG indicates they should be softer which compound was he running ? LOL best i ask him myself

whoo hoo nearly famous now got my pic on the web LOL Some good coverage of the weekend if anyone would like to see some racing in the UAE http://album.dubaiautodrome.fastmail.fm/SS...s/DSC_7062.html http://www.dubaiautodrome.com/tracktalk/co...ne.aspx?id=2662

Guys, do the GTR R32 R33 or R34 shocks interchangable getting different answers of the net

Guys, anyone had anything to do with the Kumho V 710? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...odel=ECSTA+V710

Thanks Duncan will post a few pic when they come through just for a few laughs. Sorry i did mean to say DZ 03 was a typo was looking at them last night on the net, and while doing so i found these little numbers http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...odel=ECSTA+V710 what do you know about them if any as i had not heard of them before and i think as they are DOT legal i might be able to use them for the FIA GT3 racing week.

Ok thanks guys but its done and dusted now LOL Got a first and a second placing against the GT2 in our 2 races so not to bad, got me by a half car length in the second race as my old girl pushed a little wide in third last turn....my fault not the old girl she did really well to be fair just need some good rubber under it and i will have him on a plate going to try a dunlop DZ 02 i am told next time out see how they perform against the re 55. Anyone heard about them or used them. but thanks for the advice on the RE 55 i was at 36 and they were not good at all.

As above i often see oil temps of 125 and seem to have got the coolant temp down to 85 max these days with an electric water pump.

Cheers for that sounds like i am running them a little to high then. Got to find a second a lap to give the GT2 a hurry up, Will try that in the first practice tomorrow. I want my slicks back, not likin these semi much now after not using them for 12 months

Guys what pressure are you running in your Bridgestone RE 55s tyres please i need a starting point.

That is not what i said i can tell you

And glass item is all crack on arrival in Dubai

Guys, any ideas on what thread the front drive shaft is? Would like to order a castor / camber gauge and would like to order it with the correct threaded adaptor

And have reply not to bad price wise

Bugga to the getz challange! Sat last night watching all the bikes go past the front of the house for the GP. Yer have checked and they are ok with it, but have got a glass unit while i am here in Melbourne which i will throw on the plane when on the way back to dubai.

Sadly Russ unlike yours mate all show and no go

Yer just noticed that as well, need to get that looked at. That corner although its doesnt look like it it has about 18 degree of banking have not seen a pic of that corner before, little surprised that the suspension is compressed that far.
