I source the slicks from a guy who has contacts from the GT and porsche cup boys.

I caught

of an interesting tire setup i've not seen before on an R35.

You get a good look at the wheels/tires from about 3:00.

These seem different, yet again, from the latest Super Taikyu GT-R's wheel/tire setup.

Can't find any info on the net though.

Thanks for the video, very interesting. Advan slicks hey... they look pretty much the same size that Martin, Marek and myself are running (18's too?). The car seemed a bit unstable under brakes? Maybe is was pushing really hard. Running aftermarket brakes and coilovers too.

Guys,

Just to put these times in perspective....check this out:

http://wakefieldpark.com.au/index.php?opti...2&Itemid=49

The lap records at Wakefield.....the GTR is up there with Porsche cup lap records and would have smashed the improved production record that currently stands by over 2 seconds.

Well done again guys on the times.

Not to mention they'd put the frighteners into some of the bike boys.

What tyre size are you running with the 18's mate ?

No, they are metric sizes.

27 = 27cm = 270 mm tread width

68 = 68 cm = 680 mm overall diameter

18 = 18" wheel, OK this one is imperial

Haha, but to put that into perspective... these $160k+ cars with $x000's worth of mods only beat a Toyota starlet (on road tyres) by less than 4 seconds... ;)

But seriously, damn impressive times. I wish my car only took that long to get down the front straight.

Thats a fair bit lless rolling diameter/overall diameter than standard tyres, do you notice the car is lower/guards dont look filled out ?

here's a vid, chasing Marek. For some reason he seems to have more punch out of turns... maybe Martin has fixed me up!

Hey, can you post a link to the Natsoft results. Curious to see the times the MR2 you overtook at the 1min mark.

that was a practice day, no official times. Last time out with natsoft timing at wakefield (on re55's) i ran a 1:05.3 i think, so the slicks seem to be good for a second or so around there. We'll be going out again in the next few days to improve on these times i hope. Does anyone think we could manage a 1:02?

      What do you do with all the spares?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yours would only have been worse, because I've spent 2 weeks cleaning mine. And yet it barely looks any different... Ha ha ha The work bench is unusable as things are stacked so high on it, as it down each walk way between the cars. And on one of them. And inside the other... And under one of them... These days when working in the garage, I need to roll the Subaru out. Because the "workshop" portion is just so full of stuff... To do anything means to move lots of stuff...   But I recently got rid of a full rack of fish tanks, and a few more. Then have started just throwing shit that's actual rubbish. And trying to sort everything else! Ha ha ha   Needing to move the Lathe into its proper spot, and then move all the other gear like the press, compressors, welding trolleys.   And let's not talk about the camping gear... I want to get rid of it, the GF wants to go camping... I think I'm getting to old to want to camp these days   Oh, I also evicted a few things, like the motorbike outside ages ago too! Ha ha ha This is all in a 6x9
