you need to remove the daily part from this thread... it may as well be a dedicated track nugget, hasn't seen a public road almost all year! :P

Yeah well one day ill get it moved to the Motorsport section as its certainly something i enjoy doing and will be doing a lot more!

that nulon thing seems interesting, but ive done next to nothing to stand out this year and well without 11ty billion KW time attack will make me look bad

Yeah it looks interesting, my aim is for 2015 anyway but if this happened to come up then it would be a good bit of fun! :)

Got an answer out of Mat for the size offsets of his Work XT7s if anyone else is interested.

F - 18 x 8.5 +32

R - 18 x 9.5 +38

Lol about bloody time he says :P

I have had so many people ask me and its only now i have finally checked haha... Thanks for posting it up as a reminder ;)

hmm no wonder you can fit them 285 under the guard you have that extra 8mm.My 275 are like 5mm away from the guard with the struct loaded.

I measured the 275 Hankook RS3 vs the 265 Hankook Z221 yesterday just for interest.

Hankook RS3 275 = roughly 275mm

Hankook Z221 265 = roughly 280mm

Was only done with a tape measure so it wasn't accurate but you can see side by side the Z221 is a bigger tyre!

is it a semi if i it is i was also told by a tyre sho that semis are always wider than they say. Had 255 RSR federals and were same size as my Michelin PS2 265.

Yep semis...

ive got a semi thinkin about semi's

will probs buy myself some 10" rears soon to run some awesome 295's :D

Put up a DIY thread if you do as 275 seems to be the limit for my guards even with the rolling... I assume you could pump the rear guards but i have never tried this...

No major updates with the car at this stage, apart from the fact its running again...

Seat rails should arrive this week so i can fit the cheap seats in to stop the harnesses cutting my neck... That is about all i can say for now :ph34r:

That is interesting, I have 275/35/19 RS-3s for daily and just got 265/35/18 Z221s for track and I swore the 265 Z221s are wider

Yep i only noticed as they were stacked together :) Will explain why they contact teh front guards haha

    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
    • Foreshadowing was never so easy.
    • The ones in brackets are the first stages of tightening. I usually aim for the middle of the range. They give a range because it's actually not that critical to hit exactly the right bolt tension. Enough is enough, and too much is too much, and the range given is inside that range. Half of the bolts in the suspension are problematic for putting a torque wrench on anyway, so just get done up to mechanic tight  and spanner checked a week later.
