Lol they do...we just need to be a little innovative. What size are you after?
-
Yeh the AO50s that were near bald blew me away. Worn AO50s IMO comfortably better than NEW RE55s! I went about 2k heavier in front and rear...i suspect the Teins run less bump and rebound vs Bilsteins which seem quite firm even with softer springs

sO ch10 couldnt turn a dime with coverage. i am paying $20 for internet access. $50 for Foxtel Play just to watch tonights race in a hotel! Farking better be a good race!

I think you will find that Bens are more like $1000 a corner and then you need strut tops and springs. Koni are wjat i am doing next. Though i just grabbed my second pair of RPM Teins as i now run GTR fork type shock mount For the record this is Bilsteins with brand new (scrubbed) RE55s Vs RPM Tein RA with AO50s off a friends EVO that had just won Targa Tas early modern (ie very worn but a still sticky tyres) So different shock and tyre but engine, arms, turbo etc all the same. The RA setup has an extra half point of camber on the front

Watching Button interview driving from home to circuit with wife and SkyTV . I rate his Mrs but my god; F1 WDC McLaren driver and his company car is a Type R Civic .

My 2c...mid level quality shocks will all be about the same quality and performance if they are built right for the car. My Bilsteins were ok but when the car got too quick for them the Bilstein people i spoke to all kinda/think/maybe if we just freshen them up as the valving is very good for a range if springs etc. SK did a great job with various cars that he built setups for and that experience and wealth of knowledge made many good Bilstein setups. But the std Whiteline Bilsteins built around the same shock really struggled in my car when the pace started picking up I wasnt confident that the result would be what i want as the local Bilstein guys were far more well versed in historic cars or race cars...not my club Skyline that was a rwd R32 at that RPM on the other hand were local and as Fatz points out...comfortable on street and for me i could genuinely attribute about a 1.2sec inprovement at PI on the same set of tyres...lol just more worn old RE55s. Car so much more stable so more time was in it as i could then start to think about pushing harder So if someone can get the same damping and spring combo out of a Bilstein, Koni MCA etc then it will be a good thing. I recall Snowman on here went from RPM built Teins to full house MCAs and the car was worse but after some tuning and tweaking the thing was equally epic...winning Targa in his 34. What the net gain was going to full house MCAs after purchase, rebuilding and development was over the Teins???? I know Ben Manion in his R32 GTSt running Penske probably leave my RPM Teins for dead but for the money RPM charge they are brilliant arrive, drive, perform option. If you can happily tell the shop what needs to be done to improve the performance then there are other options...but i cant say if it needs more spring vs more damping or less rebound etc.If i was as clever as Ben with my bum connected to my brain and my mouth and could wwork with Penske dealer to refine the setup then i would love to...lol but i dont So happy with what i have and i suspect the free valving change MCA offer in some way proves that they supply many chassis, car combinations and their std offerings may be improved over what they offer std. RPM seem perfect for up to 450awkw GTRs running semis with std or only marginally improved aero And 6 seconds...even at PI? Odd...surely more to the story....you must have had a blown right front shock from a GSR Sigma since std shock EVO 9 on semis and tune with exhaust did easy 1.55s. No way imo that car is doing 49s with different shocks!!!

Well hope to get my copy of MW's book tomoz... in the meantime...here is a juicy tidbit... “When Ann (Neal, Webber’s partner) later pressed (Christian Horner) about why the team had never reprimanded Seb or issued any punishment for the ‘Multi 21’ incident, he admitted that the team had received a two-page letter from Seb’s lawyer a few days after the Malaysian race stating that they were in breach of his contract by giving him an ‘unreasonable instruction/team order’,” Webber wrote. “Whatever (Vettel’s) thinking was, when he overtook me I wasn’t so much angry as very sad that the team had reached this sorry state.

All off a running cradle. Cradle has been scrapped leaving the RHS & LHS assemblies for sale. No damage to arms....expect if you want to use hubs it would be wise to put new wheel bearings in them. Asking $100 a side or $180 for both sides. Located in eastern suburbs of Melb. Aslo got the KAAZ diff for sale http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/456441-r32-gtst-kaaz-diff-15/ As per pics no handbrake assembly
-
Wont fit R34 people. KAAZ site says it will fit RB25DET R33s. I decided to stick with the 4.1 diff ratio in my car so the KAAZ diff has the std R32 GTSt 4.3 diff ratio . All complete but not correctly torqued so whoever buys it can just swap over the centre to their diff or send this unit off for new bearings and backlash adjustment and blt in as a complete assembluy Have axles for sale here ... http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/457869-hcr32-gtst-axles-hubs-lca-upper-arms/

White Gts-T's, White Gts-T
Roy replied to White GTS-T's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Vinyl wrap...i would never paint a car again. Even if you pay good money for the paint its never as good as factory and gets chipped way easier when on the track -
Mclaren and Red Bull are sooooo bad right now its giving FI, STR and even Sauber a walk up opportunity at points at most GPs. Wasnt a bad race...thankfully Rosberg drove well. Cant believe how shit Kimi is all of a sudden. He has fallen off a cliff. Time to get Rimain or Hulk in that seat. Bottas can stay at Williams

Can you machine the TD06L2 (61mm) exhaust housing to take the larger TD06 turbine (65mm)?

Sorry. Sold Sorry Cev...none of that gear -
I still think i need to be in charge. Nismo/Nissan/Infiniti enter F1. Take over part of Mechachrome facility and build the engine Renault want to and then sell the engine to RBR, STR and whichever team Renault takes over. The new Renault F1 team can badge the car Renault just as RBR has done with Infiniti. Easy path to being competitive in 2016 without stupid token limit. Wtf do all those muppets get oaid the big dollars for when i have all the answers
-
Geez. RBR want Renault to leave...hardly laying a solid team environment/foundation for trying to entice Audi, BMW or Toyota etc back into the game.
-
So...60mins to go. Should Porsche move over car 19 for 17 since it is racing innthe championship and needs the points? Hope not. If Mark wins i want him to win it. Car 19 has been epic and not put a step wrong
-
Eat shit Ferrari. Corvette flogging all the Euros again! Porsche looking somid and Hulk doing an AMAZING job and damn well supported by Bamber and Tandy. Hartley threw away Car 17s chance with drive thru and track position
-
Does that mean barelay faster than LMP2 car. POS FWD Nissan. So ashamed of the ralk last year where Nissan said they were so confident of their concept that they could win 2015 le Mans.
-
Try Radio Le Mans Khoa. I have Foxtel Play for $50 a minth for sport and docos
-
Le Mans is on Fox . No free to air think its worth covering. Probably right Joe Saward posed an interesting question... "How can a sport that generates $1.8 billion a year in revenues be incapable of supporting 12 two-car teams which race one another on only 20 occasions each year? The only possible answer to this question is that the business model is not a very good one for all concerned, even if for some F1 is filling their pockets, pumping up their egos and making them feel powerful. These people do not really want things to change, unless they see that they can get more money or more power. " Bernie is siding with Williams and co as its just like when he was concerned FOTA would have too much power...ditto this time around so is throwing his muscle behind the small teams to stop the large teams from getting too much sway
-
I think the permanent freeze is next season. LOL so Renault get one more shot...its going to end in a disparity for way too many seasons. It is BS. you can spend tens of millions on wings and tunnel time but you can barely develop that largest differentiation of performance
-
There is nothing wrong with the racing. I like the idea of refuelling but they shouldn't reintroduce it. Theybhave just done a stupid thing freezing engine development when a few teams have a big advantage from hp alone. That is what has ruined the racing this year.
-
I am sick of SKY playing on how kuch "the people" love Lewis and have no connection with Nico etc etc. He has siunded like a puppet about putting Monaco behind him but moaping around....need to get Dan or Romain back on the podium
-
Come on Lotus! Love to see Romain on the podium!
