R34

OK I'll set the swaybars soft front/Hard rear I might start with the shocks set to their softest setting to start off. I am used to driving "around" handling problems as long as I don't get too much oversteer (i.e a spin)as that would cost a lot of time and ruin the total time

Ran out of time so found a set of used A048's Not ideal but better than street tyres Local Perth shops want an arm and a leg for sporting tyres (like $430 each for KU36's)

Any idea of shockie settings? The tein flex have 16 settings (from bloody hard to Fcn hell!) I was thinkin of fronts half way and rears full "soft" I've agreed to buy the A048's now for $700 so there's no backing out. Hopefully they're better than the street tyres

Hi Darkside Yes I can handbrake turn :-) 2mins 14 secs Bottom to top of the Zig Zag in a RX3 on rally tyres required a few of those. After a months holiday and no pays I've just spent $2000 on suspension which doesn't leave much left for tyres. A050's are my choice but at $2300 for a set compared to $800 for a used set of A048's is a bit of a no brainer this week. So if the A048's are better than my Contis I may just go for them. I've always liked oversteer in my cars but must admit that the GTR with all it's gadgetry just does not feel natural to me and intimidates me a bit. It's like I have to relearn something that I could do in my sleep previously

Thanks mate Bridgestone couldn't get me any RE55's before friday unfortunately

I was hoping to gain some useful info from those of you more up to date than me with regards to making a R33GTR competitive in Classic Rallys While not a complete noob to competition years ago (yes I'm an "old" bloke) I am am new to GTR's in competition. My weekend baby is a series III R33 which I ran in an event for the first time a couple of months ago. The car managed a 7th in a field of 55 cars but I was getting a bit of push in the tighter corners (was an extremely tight course needing 1st and second gears only and not suited to the whale :-) ) Then the car was virtually standard running Tein Flex coilovers 18x10.5 LMGT1's with 265.35-18 Continental Sportcontact 2 street tyres After returning from holidays it was a last minute decision to enter the event so this week the following changes are being made Wheel alignment Whiteline front swaybar set to stiff Whiteline rear swaybar set to stiff Adjustable caster bushes HICAS locked Rear camber arms Pineapple bushes in rear arms I'm hoping for a big improvement but won't be able to try out the setup before the event. So , (apologies for the long winded post) Can any of you experts recommend what else I should do or offer some tips? Swaybar settings? Tyre pressures (I previously ran 40psi all around) I've also been offered some used A048 semi slicks as I've run out of time to get something ex east. With driving events lasting say a minute would they be worthwhile without getting hot enough? Appreciate any advice

I'd considered them but couldn't find a Perth Dealer

Got any idea of percentage worn or how many kms it's done?

Thanks guys Saw those on ebay but may be a chance they wouldn't arrive in time to fit them St George have KU36's for $800 which seemed to work well on the DR30 Size would be 265.35-18

I need a set of semi slicks for the classic 1 day rally on the 11th Anyone recommend a good tyre and where to get a good deal in Perth? Cheers

Anyone from SAU running in this event (other than me)?

It's probably just a generic picture they've used. Wilkinson suspension know their stuff so let them know your model and they'll make sure it's the right one

Anyone seen a Bronze R35GTR with an aluminium ironing board for a rear wing? If you're on here mate for the love of all things GTR please remove it.

Try the Pollo Parmigana and Spagetti at Primo Cucina in Whitfords Let me know if you can finish it all http://www.primocucina.com.au/PrimoCucina/Welcome.html

Thanks everyone Getting a set of swaybars and Caster kit to start and once fitted will get a wheel alignment to see where I'm at

Depends what you want to use the car for. As a std restoration For the cost of buying used parts that may well be as tired as what you have now I would invest in replacement strut cartridges and then replace any balljoints and bushes as required

Are no new Master cylinders available from Nissan or Repco etc? I'd stick to the std size if possible unless you're upgrading the entire brake system Cheers

I ran my car in an event today. The first with my R33 GTR. The car seemed to have a bit of understeer yet on one corner oversteer. Can someone advise what would be the next step to make the car handle better? First thing would be tyres as you can hear tyre squeel from the attached video (no one else's tyres seemed to squeel like mine so maybe they're a bit hard) The car currently has Tien flex coilovers with incar adjustment LMGT1 18x10.5" wheels fitted with 265.35.ZR18 Continental Contactsport2 tyres I only had 4 runs so purposely left the shocks on their softest setting while i got used to the car. (maybe i should have stiffened up the front) http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k199/Aussie109/?action=view&current=MVI_1718.mp4 Any advice most welcome

Talk to Union76 as he's done that mod already

I can definitely recommend Topgun Touchups 0433 837 839 I got him to do some temporary touchups thinking I'd respray the bumpers later. He did such a good job there was no need My GTR is silver too

Never used the rear wiper Mike...never drove in the rain :-) The $80k daily driver was used for $hitty weather while the DR stayed nice and dry...go figure Wouldn't one off a R30 Hatch fit?

I've always found the inspectors at the pits to be reasonable guys. Spending their days inspecting 100 year old stuffed Taragos and the like they are usually impressed to see a well presented and obviously loved vehicle. They'll want you to pass unless their hands are tied (like it's draggin it's arse) So don't worry, present it as it is and fix any items on the list if it fails. PS Midland are good guys too

Car handled well enough to win it's class in a 3 day classic rally and win numerous hillclimb events outright.

I don't recall camber and height issues like that but then I was using R31 crossmember,LCAS and struts

Yeah a plumbing company had a corporate booking for plate 1 thru 99. Had to ring them to see if they were going to use 35 but after a year they relinquished the whole booking and let me know. At $500 I'm only asking what they cost so not aiming to make money out of them. So yeah a bargain for the ultimate V35 plate
