[2rismo]

Beer. A truly universal currency.

[TommO]

i'll be running the car next wed so i'll post my results

Still running tonight? I'll look out for you

I've always had 60ft problems in my GTR, 11.7 @ 122... I'm looking forward to seeing what improvements you make

[Marko R1]

im actually running next wed night 16/7 - brett who has also posted on this thread (7heavn) will be joining me with his blue r34gtr.

[2rismo]

Brett should have his new Mickey's today!

[7heavn]

Haven't turned up , fingers crossed for tommorow .

[2rismo]

They have definitely left. I rang and made sure this morning. (Toll IPEC)

[7heavn]

Hey Adrian you have a pm.

[Marko R1]

Mounted one of the tyres on the rim and tried it on the car today there are clearance issues everywhere what a bummer my own fault I should have taken some proper measurements before hand . Really do need the 275/17's but there aren't any in the country . Looks like I might just have to put some normal 45 profile road tyres on the 17 inch rims I've got suppose they have to be better then the 19's and 30 profile .

[NXTIME]

what size MT's did you get?

[7heavn]

295/45/17's

[Swiper the Fox]

295/45/17's

over kill...the quickest GTR on radials runs mid 8's on 255x50x16's...no need for a bigger tyre.

[7heavn]

I could have told you that. The only reason I ordered the 295's is because I can't get hold of 275/17's at the moment but looks like Rocket will have a shipment in next week after speaking to them on the phone today . One thing I can't work out is the M/t size chart the measurements don't seem to match up . They have the 295/45/17 equivalent to a 28inch slick and the 275/40/17's equivalent to a 26inch slick . Thing is I just measured my 295's and they are nowhere near 28inchs tall more like 26 and 26inches is still too big for the wheel arches . I would be interested to find out the exact height of the 275/40/17's.

[2rismo]

I fit the 275/40's under the bum of my GTST so you won't have a problem on the 34.

[7heavn]

Hey Adrian do you have a pair there you could measure for me? . I spoke to Rocket today apparently there is another shipment of 275's coming in next week .

[7heavn]

Rears are no problem just have to be sure about the front fitment . Adrian you have a pm

Marko picked up his rubber today...even supplied him some coilovers.

They were out of Mark Jacobsen's GTR when it was running mid 8's on the same rubber so should suit the car just fine.

No excuses not to blast into the 10's now mate.

hi guys (& paul),

i probably shouldn't post this here but it seems that i am surrounded by knowledgeable guys on this particular thread so here goes:

I have noticed over the past week or so that my peak knock level on my power fc handcontroller reads up to 107, but only has occured a few times!

i then discovered today the reason my knock is peaking @ 107 is because when I start the car sometimes the power fc picks up a massive knock reading when im cranking the car! i monitored this today & repeatedly started the car as it showed this high reading on average every 5th start.

it sounds to me like the knock sensors are picking up sound from maybe the starter motor or when the starter motor actually engages the flywheel...weird huh...does anyone else have this issue?

another thing as well - if i take the car to redline when the fuel cut occurs will this also register a higher than normal knock level?

i had my car booked tomorrow for crd to check over but maybe this isnt required, i dont want to waste jim's valuable time.

regards,

when i ran a Power FC ialways reset the peakhold after starting engine for that very reason.
