If the Australian government was smart they'd arrange to run more rallies all over the country because you can be sure it would be a fail safe way to end our draughts. Because it seems nothing ever brings on the rain like a rally!

LOL Snowman - very true !

Isn't it only the AASA rallies (TT & WPT) that allow downsizing of rims?

Correct Duncan. Thats why I'm suggesting Russ doesn't do anything rash and spend a fortune on downsizing brakes/rims untli every rally he'd like to enter is either with AASA ot CAMS follows suit with the rules.

Yeah but I also read somewhere (it was on the internet so it must be true!) that Nissan have even stated that they know the R35 is FASTER with smaller wheels but fo physical symetry they were forced to run with 20's.

So the question is if you can get better rubber for 19's and it's known the car is faster on 19's then why the hell wouldn't you get a set to use when you CAN run 19's?

I think the Lambo guys mainly use the Toyo's right?

But otherwise there is the Pirelli Corsa and Michelins Sport Cups.

None of them are as good as the Dunlop/Bridgestone/Kuhmo semi's (which don't come in 19's I'm pretty sure) but they have to be better than street tyres.

The Toyo's are definitely good in the wet and they also come up to temp amazingly fast (for sprints your out lap is almost your fastest lap) but they don't have the absolute grip of the others but maybe in a rally they'd be good?

They are also funny in that people say they get faster as they get worn down too.

A simple application to CAMS would see you permitted to downsize rims. I was pushing it with them last year until we swapped and all was looking good.

Mt Buller will allow downsize too... they are also AASA.

Ok so I've now sobered up enough to remember one of my best non-driving moments of the rally...

I was standing talking to Jim Richards :banana: as you do :laugh: when I got an unprompted text through from Duncan saying *Don't forget to tell Jimmy we love him if you see him!!!*

GOLD! :ban:

Jimmy's a legend!!

can anyone tell me what the maximum rolling diameter difference a gtr will genrally aloow for?

Is 295/30 = 661mm & 235/35 = 652mm to big of a difference to fit to a GTR?

any info is appreciated.

cheers russ

also got the paddle shifter modto move with the steering wheel, thanks beerman!!!

Hi Giant,

Do you have any more info on the modification to the paddleshifter that you are talking about there ? Was it an Australian modification or a part you imported from overseas ?

The MCR paddle shifter kit is made by Works Bell, and the standard Works Bell paddleshifter moves with the steering wheel, so I'm a bit confused as to what modification you are talking about there - is it in terms of the connection between the paddleshifter and the contacts on the steering column ?

I'm curious as to what the modification is that you are talking about above and if it is a modified part that is R35 specific or otherwise.

Thanks,

Adam

    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
