What is it like driving a car that takes until 5k before the power really kicks hard? Is it annoying on the street or is there still plenty of meat below 5k? Looks like a solid 200kw at 4k, does it feel good at the lower revs?

It might give that figure on the dyno but I can tell you now i reach fullboost on the road ALOT earlier then whatever it says on that sheet!

It feels fine.... You have to remember a stock GTR makes what.... 180 or 200 kw at the wheels stock.... It might only feel like it has "not much" because 1000 RPM later your making almost double that! To drive around in traffic is no worries at all.

If they made them yeah. :banana:

looks like they make em too me mate, :)

285/30/18 only prob you would have is finding wheels with the right offset to fit 285 under 32 guards.....

What offset is required (say for 18 x 10's or 10.5's)? +18 or +22?

Other wise 265/35's might be the way to go?

you can stick 285 on a 9" or 9.5"

def not +18 i got 18x10 +18 on my car, the biggest i think ill fit under it is a 265, as the lip of the rim hangs out past the guard.

id say +22 or bigger, even +22 it would be close, on a 32R it would def need some guard work, you can fit 285s on a 10inch wheel no worries dont no about a 9inch but.

Get your TPS sorted Steve?

Dude, what a day. Started off not getting any sleep last night. Then on the way there in the rain in rwd it was SO difficult to stop it spinning the rears. Too much low end torque, seriously I was counter steering just trying to get away from a set of lights at less than normal speed. There was a hill start on king georges road-it just slowly moved the rear to the left every time I tried to get up the hill. Sounds fun, was frustrating. Ended up starting in 2nd which was still spinning but it made it up the hill. Stupid rain.

Got the tps, $95 and the thing is tiny. Ripoff.

THEN the autronic has a Fu(kout and needs two sensors replaced. Which means sending it away for repairs (not the first time it's been broken), it's got a problem with the map sensor and the water temp sensor. It thinks, for some reason, it thinks the water temp isn't going higher than 50 degrees eventhough it's at 70 something. And the map sensor now reads 1.5bar as 2bar and the boost cut is set at 1.9bar so it's unable to rev out cause the boost cut stops it. And it thinks it's still not warm enough so it wont let you rev high anyway (autronic feature).

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!

PFC for the WIN :)

or if you really wanna get a high tech ecu get a microtech :banana: lol jokes.

deano we could run the 285s but just have to raise our cars just a tad..... like 70 mm atleast.

im soooo keen for e85, come on gossy caltex hurry up and finish the tank works :D

Yavuz just rang me, he's trying something and is about to take it for a drive. I hope he's leaned it off otherwise it doesn't have enough fuel to go around the block. Had half a tank about 60ks ago

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
