  1. Do the TOYO R888 heat cycle? I was informed that they dont...
  2. Sorry to dig up an old thread but Im also interested in some more feedback on how these go for road use Im aware of the noise and wet weather grip when low on thread but considering these are OEM tyres for lotusses it cant be all that bad for road use, right? Im particularly interested if these tyres heat cycle as much as the RE55S anyone with experience with these tyres able to compare them with RE55S or R888 or DZ03?
  3. The ones you are looking for is called CE28N Time Attack Edition was made in limited numbers by RAYS in 2006 I searched high and low for them, most seem to have been bought by workshops for their demo cars I manage to find a set on eBay out of HK and paid $3100 delivered for a set of 18*7.5J Ive seen sets arround for 350Z from the US but never with the right offset for skylines. Consider the titanium silver above, they are also a nice color
  4. Me too pls!
  5. I was thinking, the idea was I would have the graph so I can learn to read it, gotta start somewhere right? Been reading this article it has some valid points: http://farnorthracing.com/autocross_secrets6.html Since its just a dyno run, does it really matter what kind of shock I have? I just want to know what the adjuster knob is doing, not looking to get the shock rebuilt. I wonder why I didnt think of calling them ahahhaha Guess I was after recommendations more than anything
  6. So how do you sign up for this track day? Just turn up at Barbagello race way?
  7. Is there anywhere in Perth that can put shock absorbers on a dyno to get a read out? Wilkinson? WA Suspension? How much do they cost for a set of 4 and what do you get?

  9. Yup, shift it down to "2" and keep it in SNOW You will always be in 2nd
  10. I have a pair from WISE Sports Japan, they are very good quality They have a rubber seals to stop water from coming in so they dont require that goey black sealant thing
  11. i've found these sometime ago Suspension Tuning 101 http://www.corforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,1369.0.html and ANDY'S TOP TEN AUTOX DRIVING TIPS By Andy Hollis (Andy is a multiple National Solo Champion and an instructor for the Evolution Solo School) Originally posted on Miata.Net [Just got back from a weekend of teaching Evolution schools and thought I'd share some stuff that I must have said a thousand times.] 1] Position first, then speed. Positioning the car perfectly is more important than trying to attain the highest potential speed. For example, you will drop more time by correctly positioning the car nearer to slalom cones than you will by adding 1 or 2 MPH in speed. Same with sweepers (tight line). Same with 90-degree turns (use all of the track). Also, position is a prerequisite for speed. If you are not in the correct place, you will not be able go faster. Or at least not for very long! 2] Turn earlier...and less. To go faster, the arc you are running must be bigger. A bigger arc requires less steering. To make a bigger arc that is centered in the same place, the arc must start sooner (turn earlier). 3] Brake earlier...and less. Waiting until the last possible second approaching a turn and then dropping anchor at precisely the correct place so that the desired entry speed is reached exactly as you come to the turn-in point is quite difficult to execute consistently. Especially when you consider that you get no practice runs on the course, and the surface changes on every run, and you aren't likely to be in exactly the same position with the same approach speed on every run, etc. Better to start braking a little earlier to give some margin of error. And by braking less you can either add or subtract braking effort as you close in on the turn-in point. This will make you consistent and smooth. 4] Lift early instead of braking later. Continuing with the philosophy of #3, when you need to reduce speed only a moderate amount, try an early lift of the throttle instead of a later push of the brake. This is less upsetting to the car, is easier to do and thus more consistent, and allows for more precise placement entering the maneuver (remember #1 above). 5] Easier to add speed in a turn than to get rid of it. If you are under the limit, a slight push of the right foot will get you more speed with no additional side effects. On the other hand, if you are too fast and the tires have begun slipping, you can only reduce throttle and wait until the tires turn enough of that excess energy into smoke and heat. Don't use your tires as brakes! 6] Use your right foot to modulate car position in constant radius turns, not the steering wheel. In a steady state turn, once you have established the correct steering input to maintain that arc, lifting the throttle slightly will let the car tuck in closer to the inside cones. Conversely, slightly increasing the throttle will push the car out a bit farther to avoid inside cones. It is much easier to make small corrections in position with slight variations in the tires' slip angle (that's what you are doing with the throttle) than with the steering wheel. 7] Unwind the wheel, then add power. If the car is using all of the tire's tractive capacity to corner, there is none left for additional acceleration. At corner exit, as you unwind the wheel, you make some available. If you do not unwind the wheel, the tire will start to slide and the car will push out (see #6 above). 8] Attack the back. For slaloms (also applicable to most offsets), getting close to the cones is critical for quick times (see #1). To get close, we must move the car less, which means bigger arcs. Bigger arcs come from less steering and require earlier turning (see #2). Now for the fun part... When you go by a slalom cone and start turning the steering wheel back the other way, when does the car start to actually change direction? Answer: When the wheel crosses the center point (Not when you first start turning back!) How long does that take? If you are smooth, it takes .25 - .5 seconds. Now, how long is a typical person's reaction time? Answer: about .5 seconds. Finally, how long does it take to go between slalom cones? Answer: Typically on the order of 1 second. Given all of that, your brain must make the decision to begin turning the steering wheel back the other way just *before* you go by the previous cone!! Since this is a mental issue, a good visualization technique to get used to this is to think about trying to run over the back side of each slalom cone with the inside rear tire of the car. To hit it with the rear tire (and not the front), the car must be arcing well before the cone and the arc must be shallow. Attack the back! 9] Hands follow the eyes, car follows the hands. 'Nuf said. 10] Scan ahead, don't stare. Keep the eyes moving. Looking ahead does not mean staring ahead. Your eyes must be constantly moving forward and back, and sometimes left and right. Glance forward, glance back. Your brain can only operate on the information you give it. Bonus Tip: Don't forget the stuff in between the marked maneuvers! Too often we think of a course as series of discrete maneuvers. There is typically more to be gained or lost in the areas that are in between. Pay special attention to the places where there are no cones, as MUCH time can be saved/made-up there.
  12. have one too if u still need it

  16. I would imagine that even though its $55/event The WASCC membership would be something like $250/year?
  17. cheers bubba keep it coming ahhaha
  18. Whats the "$97/year" for? CAMS license?
  19. cool, anymore vids? There were quite a few skylines in the Street Fighter class RB 30 WA best run was 11.6
  20. What time? And what does it take to be a WASCC member?
  21. If you are going to modify your Auto R33 here is my story http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=83883 For ECU I'd say go Wolf3D V500 for auto support John and Steve at Top Racing would be able to help you out
