Well apart from the M3 CSL I don't think any cars come with tyres quite as "factory issue" as the GT-R's :)

Once someone really goes to town on an R35 I am waiting for the first sub-50 second lap ;)

I'd love to see them try, is'nt the record like 50 secs flat set by the GT500 ARTA NSX driven by keichi tsuchiya?

Im sure when you said "goes to town" you really meant "empties their bank accounts into the car" ;)

RE070's are standard on STi's as well.. Not as wide though.

The RE070's are proving to be a problem re track times with a swap to Dunlops proving a second quicker at least around Fuji and Aida.

my point was the time attack cars would most definitely not be using RE70s (which are street tyres). They would all be using track tyres like RE55s or A048s etc.

What time attack cars? The GT-Rs are all running OEM tyres at the moment. Bridgestone RE070 and Dunlop SP Sport 600 DSST which are both options.

Both are run flats too.

edit: i'm beginning to think you weren't referring to me in your post lol...

lol, yeah kind of. sorry, I wasn't too clear. I meant people were talking about the mines R34 comparison etc. No way does that thing run RE70s. don't get my wrong they are a good tyre by all acounts, and the dunlops even a touch better, but they are still 'performance road' tyres. and decent semi slicks would be abother second easy even at a short track like tsukuba. :P yeah reading back my reply was really for laurence. :D

i think it will take something EXTREMELY special to get the r35 to a sub 50 second lap. the current outright lap is 51.8, so to shave 2 seconds of that is going to be extremely hard. going from 1.01 to 59 didn't take that much, but it will take a lot more to get it down to 57, then much more again to get it to 55, and a massive amount to get it to 50 or below.

I think it took someone EXTREMELY special to take that comment literally. Thanks for being that person. :(
:D
Try and keep an eye out for these little yellow things, maybe read this page too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoticon

The point is, once people crack the GT-R and start to get serious modifying it we are going to see some pretty impressive times. All of which will be above 50 seconds.

      R34 Headlight lense replacement

      Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.

      If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.

      Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
