Considering the problems that the evo and the 34 had, I don't think the first day counted much dialling happens on the first day, add to that the large drops in temperature over the day and the changes to track and tyre temps from midday to 4pm and only 15 min sessions, I think they would love more track time to work on things.. Specially when you are aiming for one lap... You don't have the comfort of having 40 laps to get adjusted and make ip time.

russ has a good handle on the brakes now and a few tips learnt on trying to eliminate the pad knock off problems that GTRs with big brakes are notorious for.

There is a fix for that, we used to have the same problems as everyone, but changed the front wheel bearings to a ball type bearing (tapered std) and the problem is fixed. have had same front bearings with no knock off for years now.

dave :)

ps The BSM GTR is for sale too.

dont kid yourself, it is expensive to participate let alone be competative.

i hope to have the car sorted for this next year, just dont know whether ill need to run the big engine. hopefully i wont embaress myself.

Its made me realise how much money I will need to spend to make my car even remotely close to the front runners :)
That's probably right.. I thought it was $800 entry though... The tyres would be the killers there... Specially if your running 265s on 18s.. 2k wouldn't even get you 2 fresh sets.

2k won't even get you the first set! not of anything competitive anyway.

    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
