R35s look fantastic with 18s and fat rubber. And its easy (and cheeper) to get the slicks from porsche cup cars too. There was a R35 at QR with Nismo LMGT4s in 18s a while ago, not sure of the width or offset.

Awesome service and about 1/2 the price of most tires here. But they can't ship Yokohama to Australia anymore. Looks like the local Yoko guys kicked up a stink but there are freight forwarding companies in the US that will receive them then post them on to you here Got to love free markets

Ian are you doing the Time Attack series with Paul? I was at the last QR event but missed the last Lakeside day. If you are looking at Tein have you looked at getting a used set of Ohlins for the same money or have you looked at Racing Logic? on their web site Racing Logic do custom coilovers as well with custom valving and spring rates for about $2500. Im not sure what the custom shock dyno graph is but I havent seen on from tein

Try 36 psi hot (after 3-5 laps) all around and go up or down 2psi from there until you get the grip and balance you are after. more air will give you stiffer ride but less grip as the tire gets round across the tread section. less air gives a softer side but more grip until it cups across the tread section. Confusing I know but what you are after is even tire temp across the width of the tire. That means all the working to maximum grip efficiency. Here is a little tip, If your getting understeer drop the pressure in the front a bit, if your getting oversteer, drop the rears. You will be amazed at the difference 2-4psi makes in the handling of the car This is my Evo when we won fastest time at Lakeside during the 2010 Evo Nats

Stay away from cross drilled rotors!! the holes dont let the rotor cool evenly and are often the starting place for cracks. Get some slotted DBA 4000s. I have not used qfm pads but you should try a few different types, see what works for you. If you cant get a second set of wheels and tires then just get a new lite set of wheels like TE37s or if on a budget Enkei RPF1s and a set of semi semi slicks like Advan Neova AD08 or Bridgestone RE11. To save money check tirerack.com as they are often 1/2 the price including delivery of what you will get here. Be sure to get a good tire gauge and check your pressures after each session. DON'T TELL HER ANYTHING!!! It is better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

What fluid are you using? Nothing could be worse than doing 3 laps and have the pedal go to the floor because you boiled the brakes. Even new fluid will boil after a few laps so make sure to use a race fluid like those suggested (Motul RBF 600, Castrol SRF) and try to use the same pads all around putting a race pad in the front and a street in the rears will make the fronts do even more of the work and can cause them to overheat early. Of course your tires were awesome at the track, it was your first day. Now that you have a benchmark, a set of cheap used semi slicks will really blow your mind. The limiting factor in breaking is usually the tires. Put the best and biggest brakes on a car with shit tires and it wont stop. Remmeber your contact patch between your car and the road is only a few square centimeters so the better grip on that patch, the more stopping power your brakes will have. The best way to go faster is driver training. Spend a few laps following the experienced drivers, try to get in for a passenger lap and do a training day. You would be amazed how much faster you will go wen you learn to keep the car settled and balanced. In my time attack Evo 7RS we focused on getting the brakes as efficent as possible while retaining the stock brembos. We reduced as much weight from the car as possible, less mass to stop. Reduced rotational mass (lighter wheels, 2 piece rotors, allow wheel nuts) to put less rotational strain on the brakes. cooling ducts to the front bar to help drop the temps as fast as possible. To top it off I used Michelin slicks for absolute grip (and lighter than road tires). Now that the swaybars are done you will start to consume some parts and I would look at mods over time in this order: 1. inspection and bushings, replace any worn or broken bushings get under it and look for wear. check brake lines ect. You don't want a sloppy car at 200km/h 2. RBF 600 fluid (costs less than Castrol SRF) 3.track tires and wheels (so you dont tear up your road tires) 4.alignment (get the most out of your contact patch) 5.better brake pads all around (Im a fan of Ferodo DS2500s for a street/track car, 3000s for track only) 6.new rotors, the track pads and temps will eat or crack the stock rotors after a few days 7. Coilovers (Racing Logic, Tein, Ohlin or others with a motorsport background) 8. chassis bracing (keeps it aligned under cornering load) Good to see some new guys getting out to the track and using their cars for what the designers intended.
