I have to upload that pic I took from the Autosalon thing.

Because how those tyres are called semi slicks is beyond me. They are slicks with 2 tiny grooves. lol

Yes I know pushing the boundaries but DOT and not as good in the wet that is for sure but may be better in the dry than fully treaded semi slicks but maybe not. Much cheaper than all the other semi slicks though. I guess I will have to go out and buy much more expensive RE55's or similar then and do it. What if faster though?? Maybe then it will be said it is our special car polish we use.

Grandad with the cardigan Here,

take it easy on JP you guys, do you know how much those tyres cost?

He's had to moonlight as a pizza delivery boy to be able to get those.

Hey Jp do you think if i take the baby seat out of the Zed it will go faster?

That's gold Wiz. :)

WTF, baby seat?

Hey some might think I am rallying zed owners onto the Skyline forum. At least I have GTR parts in my zed what are you guy's doing over here??

Hey by the way here is the times and notice an R32 GTS-T in the 51 bracket also very good. Faster than a few GTR's also, what's going on. Also Reddy good time in the 51's. Huge improvement from the last one.

GTR Jason popped in yesterday to the track but car not ready otherwise he would have been in there re the times too I suspect.

They are a dangerous tyre, its that simple.

In the wet they are 100% certain death trap and shouldnt be used.

I dunno who's cock was stroked to get them legal, but the amount of trouble you had keeping your car on the track is just evidence those tyres are un-safe.

I reckon you get out there on a set of RE55's like everyone else :(:) :) ;)

I mean, put it through the business as promitional or something.

Im sure you have a bean-counter who can work that out. I mean, it is promotional isnt it? :)

My wife is the bean couter and not fussed on cars or race cars much so a bit of smoke and mirrors. Yes claim it all on tax but funds are tight. The Hoosiers cost me almost half what Dunlops or Bridestone semi's cost me. They are radials and DOT approved.

Was it the go fast stuff or fast go stuff Richard?

Now John, if you really want to improve your track times I will drive the wagon down and put the tow rope on. You pay for the fuel, Ill take care of the beer and pizza.

Best regards,

Ken from Darwin.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah pretty sure they are m4, but best to check, and perhaps use new hardware Also don't over torque them......there was that one time I lost an expensive engine after a workshop overtorqued one of those bolts and it ended up in the oil pump (no, I don't know why they removed the intake mesh either)

      Compressor flow comparison table

      I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading.

      Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?

      Stagea Automatic Box

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
