For the record, i think they sell them when they are no longer any use to them...so they have gone off to the point where they dont even get any usefel data to go testing on them. That probably means they are a tenth or two per km off their norm, which can equate to 0.5-1.0second per lap. How that matches up to new semis i have no idea, i have just always noted that guys on slicks are usually slower then guys on semis...perhaps not the case anymore. It has just been an obsevation of mine as the technical aspect of what makes cars go quick is what i find interesting. Proves the golden rule though, if you want to go quick then its all about the tyres.

Its all good Troy, i just feel like the way people talk about used slicks is that they are similar to street tyres....

If JP invests in some new RE55S's, he might be good for a 1:41!! :P

Snowy - well said, bring on Round 2!!!! :yes:

I give all of my credit to my new found wang. It slowed my speed down enough down the straight so my brakes didn't cook and did nothing noticable in the corners so the car handled as it alway did.

There are a few pics where it looks like it could be bending your boot lid :D

Roy - do you really think the carrera cup guys hang on to their tyres for a year and then sell them?? They're lucky if they see more than 2 races due to the level of competition, so I don't think they are trying to save on tyres and use them till they're f(cked. Paul told me that usually they get a new set of tyres after each meeting, so alot of the tyres are in fair condition, not to the point where they are useless..

He even mentioned that some of the used sets have come off cars which had mechanical failure or accident damage and had only done about 20 or so laps, and new tyres are put on for the next event.

T04GTR - what excuses are you talking about?? and how many laps have the guys driving the civic and starlet done at EC?? Are you saying that we are shit drivers and should be doing better?? Not sure what you are trying to say but let us know coz its a bit unclear on what you're on about...

Anyway, this is not a dick swinging contest, we put in the effort and went to have some fun at a different track, and I believe was a huge success. Don't really care if anybody thinks we should have gone faster or slower because of the money we have spent on our cars, we had fun and the cars came back in 1 piece, that's all that matters...

N1GTR - yep, 2560R's on 19psi...

oh yess. i was making a general comment aimed at roy in a comical way about how there always an excuse for not doing the times you want or someone else doing better.

shit drivers? on the contuary sp? im not having a go at you guys. just that the few people at both days who were on slicks seem to be sublely called cheaters,or no talent lol.

im no great driver, i just think credit is due if someone did well.. not a list of why they did well compared to otheres. this was only my 3rd time on the track with the gtr.

the civic is driven by a dentist. he used to race gtp in a s15. hes very good. oh he does 1.49.5 at eastern creek.

that was a indication that it doesnt matter what car you got. if its set up it will do the times regardless of power.

dont get all ofendedd. im just defending myself and throwing in a few of my opinions.

thanks. dave

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
