Don't want to Hijack but Nismoid, would you have any idea what the biggest size rotor you can fit under the standard 32r sumitomos is ?

I meant for downforce..... the sliding type, Lol.

I'll be the first to admit my tune can be likened to that movie with macaulay culkin

Come on now, lets not say things we can't take back

Done deal mate, ill get onto you today about organising delivery etc.

LOL Dude, Tell me your secrets. Regards, 20L/100km.

Hey guys, thanks for all your responses sorry about long time in replying been busy with uni etc. Who still has sumps they want to get rid of ?

?

I wonder if they make those adidas tracksuits in gunmetal grey.... LOL

Considered Skirts Martin >?

As far as I can tell the Transfer case etc is operating fine. I have found a place where I can get S-tune and similar suspension for a reasonable price second hand, as for the saybars i will get selbys/whiteline of the same dimension as the nismo items. My biggest concern is brakes, I'm not really sure as far as options go whether i should be looking at a superior caliper or just trying to maximise the rotor area.... pads and fluid are easy, you just buy "good" stuff so if you have any ideas in this sort of area then i'de appreciate your input Cheers, Mitch.

Yeah, i can always tell if its down at the lower levels that its about to surge given the type of corner im about to take, not usually at slower speeds though.

LOL Don't get me wrong, I love the colour, it's just.... so does everyone else with a 32 GT-R in Australia. Haha.

Holy Jesus mate, thats pretty much criminal, have you tried tying it in with your house insurance or something like that Just call up whoever does your general insurance (House etc) and say you want to have your car with them also, and if they dont insure you or give it a ludicrious premium say you think youl take your business elsewhere.

I Beleive Just Car are more lenient in terms of driving history mate, Shannons can be an absolute pain in the ass to get insurance out of perhaps just ring and ask... without dropping your details or do an online quote... without your actual details just so you can get an idea of the various insurers and the effect your driving history will have on your ability to buy insurance from them, plus its impact on your premiums. As for not buying the car, only do that if you can literally not find insurance for it.... if you dont buy an awesome car because your worried about losing your licence in it... the terrorists win.

Sorry, I didnt mean the track, this happens on the street, e.g. 3rd gear flatten throttle revs climb,just starts to feel like your about to get whiplash then BAM and the dirt is gone surge and going nowhere.

My Car will surge with anything under a quarter of a tank in it, even in a straight line.... Does this mean it has been mounted incorrectly (the pump) ?

Ah, thats perfect mate, Nice looking car and cheers for the help, have to get myself a set now.

Thanks for your responses guys, after some research I have decided that I will source myself a set of the nismo S-tune suspension + swaybars. As for the brake situation I am still undecided as upgrades can be quite expensive. This is not to say I will keep the standard arrangement but just that I need to evaluate how much of an increase is required in this area, so far I'm looking at options like the bigger R33 brembos. AWD controller can wait until I get to a point where it makes sense from a cost/benefits point of view. HICAS will be removed as it is a cheap and effective way of removing weight and bettering the handling. ATTESSA system will be bled as will clutch and brakes etc, this will go alone with general overhaul of warn bushes etc. As for the gearbox, are you saying that the standard unit will not last long with what I have intended for it ? (sprints + occasional hillrun and street duties) at this point I will note that as a percentage breakdown the intended use looks like this 75% street duties whilst the remaining 25% will be where it is being driven in anger. Cheers, Mitch.

Old thread revival, but im also interested in seeing some responses to this.

I like the Idea of standard GT-R wheels, thanks for all the advice guys, just out of curiousity whats a reasonable price for a 245 semi >?

Hey Duncan, Thanks for your reply, the car is is currently also my daily drive, as i live in central brisbane my driving is limited to and from work and just general transport so i will not be doing a large amount of kilometres per week apart from the occasional sunshine coast or goldcoast run. as for the tyres, as a 4th year mech eng and automotive engineering student I wholeheartedly agree with your advice, however i am hesitant to run semislicks on the street for fear of going through a number of sets per year i felt that the ku36 represented the best compromise in this respect and i am eager to hear your thoughts on how i should proceed. one option i have bandied around is selling off my Apexi 17x9's and fitting standard 32 GT-R wheels which as we all know are a great for all purposes, not to mention in terms of rubber pricing and availability.

Greetings Gents, After a long hiatus my 32 GT-R will be back on the road and I'm itching to get it to Queensland Raceway to see how i stack up against a few of my mates, 1 with an evo 1 RS and another with a turbo MX5. Handling wise, my car is currently standard apart from larger wheels, 17x9's. I'm trying to Nut out a package that will aid me out on the track whilst retaining some level of drivability... read this as I am more then willing to lose some comfort but not all. the tyre i will be using is KU36 255's on a 17" wheel, I figure its best to list the most important part of the system first and sort of develop things from there. I would like to make maximum use of the cars standard characteristics, meaning i dont want to change to huge brakes for the fun of it. If i can get away with what nissan intended i will do so, obviously this is motorsport, nothing is cheap but i dont want to spend money needlessly either. That said, what are peoples thoughts in terms of Suspension (springs, dampers) Brakes swaybars 4wd controller ? hicas removal ? a bit about the car Built 32-GTR 330rwkw but this could increase in the near future... currently in the process of removing sound deadening etc etc. What are your thoughts gents ?

I laugh pretty much every time I read one of your posts, and this is no bad thing ! hahaha well put.

I get constant shit from my car mates because i have a grey one .... Lol.
