Sau-Sa Track Day #4

[typevu]

Go the R1R which is above the T1R and below the R888.

How's this car used outside of the track day? Daily, weekender, once in a blue moon?

[heslo]

Bang for buck the RS-R's IMO

[Evil34]

Kuhmo KU36's are worth a look as well a fair few people ran them last track day and were quite happy.

Just make sure you lower your tyre pressures down to about 30psi, it took me three sessions to get this right and i was running street tyres. My tyres were overheating and feeling squirmy after three laps. Reduced the psi and was doing 6 laps confortably. Was running Michelin pilots for reference.

[Jap_star]

Rsr and ku36 both great for buck. At the moment I'm running both. The rsr feels better but will wear faster. Ku still feel good and extra k's is a plus if its used often.

The r1r's that vu mentioned are not worth the extra few hundred each, in most tyre places their the same price as the r888. A great tyre, but not worth the coin

If your happy to shop online the dublop direzza star spec,hankook rs3 and yokohama ad08 are all great prices from tirerack.com

weekender

thanks for the input guys, I'll look up ur recommendations

[ISC-Performance]

another vote for KU36 beng great bang for buck

[Luke_ENR34]

not a fan of KU36's, i found once hot they slowly get shagged.

RSR or toyo R1R i would go i reckon Andy

[180or200]

Trying the new toyo T1 sport on a 33 GTR im playing with, 400+kw nice and grippy on these horrible dewey roads.

Haven't had that problem myself. And I've done a few track days on my current set of KU's.

R1R's while being quite lovely, aren't worth the asking IMO. May as well get a set of A048's if you're spending that sort of coin.

Yep another +1 here for the KU's

I ran the KU36's on my setup last track day and got the times down to where I realistically wanted to. Just make sure that you run the tire pressure a touch low to start with as they will get some heat into them

maybe the driver got better?

Anyway, whats everyone's "got-to-do" list before track day?

For me; helmet, tyres

[scandyflick]

Fit cams, buy and fit injectors, buy and fit 300lph+ fuel pump, roll/flare rear guards, drop subframe to replace diff and subframe bushes, shim diff, fit LS2 truck ignition coils, purchase and fit new clutch, empty and clean tank, sort the brakes out, have new dump/front pipe and intercooler pipes made to suit new turbo, align, fill tank with E85, tune.

Not too much to do...

Once I'm able to work on the thing again, most of that list will be done fairly quickly.

[Brezza]

My to do List:

change brake pads (Hawk HT-10's)

Buy Helmet

Oil Change

Might need new tires by then, i've got R1R's they're awesome tyres. very grippy, and pretty reasonable wear (just need to get pressures right otherwise they wear unevenly)

I'll probably go for the Federal RSR's next just for a comparison, i'm not sold on the KU36 because they're a-symetrical and i don't want to have to trow tyres out because of camber wear.

i think one paper RSR's are probably closer to R1R's wear and grip so it'll be interesting to see how they compare.

other than those small things i'm looking at lowering times by driving better, hopefully wipe a few seconds off my previous times. ideally this track day i'd like to go sub 1m25s

[Damo_R34]

Fit slotted front rotors, 850cc injectors, fit fuel system, wheel alignment, fix seat rail from sliding, fit z32 afm, get hard intake pipe made up, mount ls2 truck coils and wire in, clean tank, fill with e85, tune.

[bigkevracer]

I'm in. Just booked annual leave.

Assuming it's ok can I just confirm about timer closer to the day?

Before the day I have a heap of stuff to fit: Shift kit, brakes (rotors, pads, braided lines), coilovers, adjustable toe arms. If I get to it I might also get the eManage fitted and tuned. Also need to fix the undertray at the front

[Krishy]

My aim is to get the car up and running again.

Here goes my list:

1) Get the diff working

2) Check the brake pads and possibly repalce it if need be.

3) Replace all the fluids

4) Take time off work.

apart from that no real issues really

Anyway, whats everyone's "got-to-do" list before track day?

I'll hazard a guess that my to do list is the biggest.. (pardon the crappy phone photos..)

(that thing wrapped in glad wrap soon needs to go in the big empty void in my engine bay)

Mines about the same...I still need to finish assembling the engine however. But everything is beginning to come together and should be on the road late Sept/early Oct

[rad100]

im gonna give it such a flogging!
