I'll be heading down on Sunday to check out the action. I'm also interested in catching up with anyone running their road registered car with street tyres about the new Advan Neova Cup.

Looking forward to it!

Advan Neova what's the spec on it?

if they show an improvement to the federal rs-r would be interested let me know the classes!

also a note for ppl, if you'r not in the motorsport camp atm let me know on the day the spec's of your car so I can add you.

will have the results up for this round a few days after it as disappearing again.

lastly do folks want to try and grab the car ports in the corner? saves paying for garages?

M

Yes carports are a must. The garages on the track cost ya, but the carports out the back are frees.

Marty the AD08 is the yoko tire that is compatible to our RSR's. I actually want to give em a go, but have heaps of meat left on the current set and the RSR is such a great tire.

Ash is running them on the GTR as is John in the 32GTR.

Neova Cup is a great idea though.

WOW Juzz driving a CLK55 now?? Talk about stepping up in the world!!!!

I've had it for a year and I love it! Converted to the land of the V8's, see you on Sunday!

There are a lot of people in NSW & QLD running these for club track days, check out the reviews and details here: ADVAN AD08 Specifications & Reviews

I'd say the AD08 is miles ahead of RS-R's and KU's. Haven't tried myself but that's what I've seen on other cars.

Well said Russ, it certainly is ahead of the RS-R's, there are some people punching out some quick times on the AD08s.

My AD08s were quite impressive @ DECA, still not quite as good as my A032R in some areas, but i've not had an alignment since changing wheel size etc.

Once i finish up my 10-sec pass business i'll put brakes on and start doing some laps on them and see how they go.

That's surprising Ash because the A032's would need a fair bit of heat to work at their best, as the AD08's don't require the same heat levels to be effective, hence they would be better than an R Comp for a Deca style event.

Would like to hear your feedback at Track Days as I'm sure you will find the AD08's are better then your A032's that are passed their used by date.

Oh they were still excellent - don't get me wrong. AD08s were nothing short of awesome on a damp skidpan, markedly better than semi's :)

Still haven't done a full alignment and everything else yet (along with going from 17 to 18s, wider tyre etc) so much potential still to be unlocked from the AD08s, looking forward to putting some times down for the cup :thumbsup:

I'll come down for a look. Wanted to join in but couldn't get my shit organised in time farken. Still waiting on a fire ext bracket to be made up, fit new rotors/pads and someone to process my SAU renewal hehe

My OEM dunlops were ok at Sandown but it was wet/raining. I reckon they'll be rubbish on a warmish day after a few laps. What are these AD08's worth?

Ash sif you're ever gonna run a 10.

Well i'm all set for Sandown this Sunday. Just hope it doesn't rain!

Advan cup looks interesting - Juzzy are there any other rules apart from being street registered and running the advan control tyres?

WOW, No Taxi Dave! Happy to chat with you on Sunday re: Pricing. Obviously it depends on what size your after. A friend of mine just got a Golf R, great choice! :)

Hey Matt, all of the other rules and regs can be found here: Advan Cup Competitor Information & Regs

I will be around on Sunday to answer any questions, see you then! :)

    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
    • The consult isn't even OBD1. It's a Nissan Consult. Proprietary.   Re read everything I've said. I specifically say, put down the laptop/tablet. Understand, and review the issue first. Logging voltages is the same as logging the converted value. Things like O2 that you say to log, is unusable for this, whether it be the voltage, or the value the ECU thinks.   The fact you don't know how to diagnose without looking at the computer, is exactly what I've said multiple times is the issue for why techs these days can't diagnose the fun issues with cars.
    • Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.
