yeah, definitely not cheap - try having 4 sets of rims! tyres are definitely on my no expenses spared list though.

one set for street, one set for motorkhanas, stockies for drag (which i just sold the other day) and a set of nismo lmgt4's which are somewhere on the atlantic. hello re55!

Yeah, I've got 3 sets of rims (I don't drag).

I've got a set of Nismo LM GT4s for circuit (<3 RE55s), my street tyres, and the stockies are wrapped in Nangkang NSII's. I was going to use these for the Circuit Club Nangkang Challenge (and for dori days) but I went to a skidpan day recently and didn't swap out my more expensive street tyres.

I'm tempted to run the Nangkangs at Eastern Creek on Friday and seeing if I can run under 2 mins, actually.

should we start an lmgt4 club? :D give the nankangs a go, it can't hurt.

however i have found that only the more premium brand and model street tyres perform well at track days. even then they only last a few hot laps before you see your lap times getting worse and worse.

i was paying around $250-300 per corner for some high end yokohamas that would last around 15-20,000km (street and track). money better spent on track rims with semi slicks.

for practices

every second wed arvo (not today, next week)

$40 to drive, $5 to watch

need a helmet, long clothes, battery bolted down ect

starts at 4pm till dark (nows the best time of year for it)

plenty of newbs, plenty of pros and plenty in between. 3 quarters of the feild is turbo nissan import though

most people think archerfeild is alot harder for a beginner over QR. probably because archy is really tight and technical whereas at qr you can just speed into a corner and wait for it to slide out and just try to hold it for the corner. non turbos struggle at QR though, mines screaming its tits off in 2nd but doesnt like 3rd. wish i had decent steer tyres though.

Was on semi-slicks, so I needed the rain as the tired old 97rwkw needed all the help (and revs) it could get! :(

Yeah the tape on the headlights means when you do tap something the glass doesn't fall out onto the track.

Also saves your lights from being broken by random stones.

baron - yup, it's primarily a gravel rallycar. Still need to do a bit more work to make it hook up on the loose stuff, but it is a hell of a lot of fun!

Id love to have a car like yours screamin!

You must have a fair few club events over there if most weekends? dam thats good!

*gets naughty thoughts of doing something similar to the r31 daily....*

agreed, nothing like a dirty filthy thrash car for rallies and motorkhanas

It is a lot of fun. I keep the roadcar way too mint to drive on gravel roads or compete @ 100% so I had to get another one for that purpose.

As far as gravel rallycars go it's in really quite mint condition! :)

And yip, most weekends there is a sprint or hilclimb on. When they aren't on there is alway trackdays

(like yesterday :) )

    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
