Nee-san

So Roy, You think that AP kit is on the money ? I'm up for pads and rotors and probably a caliper rebuild anway (standard sumi's) so it's probably worth it.

They won't know unless you have the cover off mate.

I've heard from the Mx5 guys there are better things you can do with an MX5 and a V8

sshhh the evo 3.5

Awesome, Cheers mate.

try to keep it under 4k, cams make it a little harder, depends on the road though. 8500 When I'm giving it the full bananas.

Good good, because I've never seen JB at Waterworks, lol.

Lol nismoid, But everything /\ he's said is right, buy the GT-SS's off him or if you need the power go 2530's if you have the cash.

Lol is this infamous BnR on waterworks road ?

One minute she's sitting outside a local bike shop then SHAZAM.

Thanks Duncan, you're giving me hope, Or New GT3 RS Porches doing 1:05's on sprint circuit... I thought an advanced driving course would be way more then $500 I have no choice now given all the curry I've given him and my GT Starlet driving mate Lol... If I get done, they will find me at the base of mount Nebo somewhere, in my navy pilots uniform, even thought I'm not a pilot at all, dead, LOL. cheers for all the input guys haha, just need to know what I need to spank an emo.

Pretty similar to most mines offerings by the looks, not overly hardcore modification. Nothing like the 34, which is good IMHO.

What did you pay for those bad boys, PM if you don't feel comfortable saying in here ?

That black evo does some pretty sweet times for only 180AWKW Hence my worry haha.

Mario Kart style ? haha.

haha, bloody wheels, theres nothing decent in 10" under 3 grand, Atleast they will fit over my sweet standard brakes Think I might see how We go seeing as we're both under tyred and hope having an assload more power will get me over the line. May the force be with me, so on so forth.

As far as I know, It's what he's putting on it after it goes through compliance. He has a nice set of 8" Enkei tarmacs they are going on. And I figured that a 255 would be a reasonable size for my apexi 17x9's you think bigger ? the KU36 is sort of an equaliser, not at all ideal i know but rules is rules eh macca ?

That cool mate, cheers for your response. It's a bit of fun at the moment because we are giving each other a bit of shit about who's going to chop who The GT-R seems to have the better times over the longer more open tracks(nurburgring), whereas the EVO is all over it at places like tsukuba where it's super tight. I agree with your sentiments about the weight with the EVO coming in a little under 100kg lighter, but on the flip side the GT-R has 600cc on it so it will be interesting to see. the chassis rigidity of the EVO will be its major performance advantage over me, I feel that some underbody bracing/caging etc will go along well to helping me out as I look for more performance. some minor details that might help clarify. EVO 235 ku36 230AWKW HKS Coilovers few other bits, here and there. GT-R No sound deadening, No hicas. Underbody braces. 255 Ku36 350AWKW suspension will be Tein SS or comparable with Swaybars and castor rods maybe LCA's we are brisbane boys so tracks will be Lakeside, QR and Willowbank Might seem a bit stacked but he also has a EVO II RS stripped and caged with ~280kw that Ill probably have to end up chasing although there is a sheep station for first price, realistically, the enjoyment aspect is what it's all about and I wouldn't sell my GT-R for anything. Reckon I'm biting off more then I can chew ? haha Cheers, Mitch.

Video quality on that is quite cool. slightly unrelated but, How would you compare the finer points of a 32 GT-R with an EVO 5 Marlin ? in a circuit racing context I mean, outright pace, effectiveness of development etc ? Just interested to see what people with experience think as a good mate of mine has a 5 on the boat from japan at the moment and I think we're going to do swapsies. Cheers, Mitch.

I think the best thing for you to do mate is sit down and be honest with yourself about what exactly you are going to do with the car, break it down percentage wise if that makes it easier to think about, It really does make decisions about the direction you take your development alot simpler. I did this when I was struggling with which way I wanted to go with my car. For Autocross you couldn't possibly look past the GT-SS's For Tarmac rally, and hill climbs again GT-SS's look very hard to pass on, however there is an argument for the bigger turbos depends whether you can actually use the power your making, remember its actually quite easy to add power to a race car and a hell of alot harder to make it faster in other ways once you have covered the basics. In the end as I have said, It's about what you want from the car and what you want to do with it, the best thing about getting opinions, mine included is that you can take them and leave them.

Go have a read through the -5, -7, -9 thread, its approximately 40 pages long, however, fundamentally everything relating to the turbos your looking at and would want to know is in there, pretty insightful. Personally I would choose the HKS 2530's although these are the most expensive option, I think should you choose the GT-SS's you will be very happy with the response (which is excellent as I've experienced first hand) you will want more power, especially as this is track oriented, consider that you will NOT make much more (relatively) then 300-330AWKW on PULP with GT-SS's Whilst 2530's should net you between 350 - 450 AWKW.

Can attest to this, I have R33 N1's and make 431rwhp but the power is super laggy like your really not getting a good shove until 4500+, getting -5 early next year or this year money depending. On built 32 GT-R.

He wears a lab coat, he must be trustworthy

think its the angle the harness makes with the back of your seat IE your shoulders, I wouldn't even want it near 40 degrees to be honest, perhaps some of the other motorsport guys can clarify but I think it can damage your spine in the event of a big bingle.

Dude, are you spotting yourself LOL
