You will be pushing it to get it done in 4 weekd

I've got a body and paint shop that I use in Sydney called Bodytech... They can get it done quick and do a fantastic job... I might give Pete a call and see what he reckons...

^ you have ADM rear tail lights?

Is it the real McCoy :)

Well spotted Marko!!!

Yes they are. The rear bar and oem front fenders are also ADM.

I am looking for a rear bar so I don't chop this one up....may have to send the one from my black car up from Adelaide when we need to do the cutting.

These look awesome! How much wider are they, and are these actual pics of the guards to fit R32 GTR?

Do they have more clearance for extra lowered cars as in John's car now has the option to go lower as the roll centres are raised?

This is with 295/35/18 and 11" rim 18+ offset. I am not too sure what camber it was at but not too much since we did not try to set it up for the track yet with that picture.

I will widen it next year with longer shafts. All the arms are custom. Car will be 50mm off the ground for WTAC and lower elsewhere if the track is smooth.

I feel like I am whoring this thread guys.

John please tell me if I am.

Good move :)

How did u get your hands on these parts? Reason I ask is that we have an ADM register on SAU and I am guessing that this silver ADM died :( helps me add another found aussie gtr.

Sorry John, off topic mate

The car came from a GTR fanatic who has 2 x ADM R32 GTR and a WR1000 R35 LOL

His, now mine, exdrag car carried all of ADM fruits as well.

You know your history so I won't tell you who that is .... yes nut hey?

Still no PM on the cost of buying your fibreglass guards ??

I've got the wheels on with the standard rolled guards and it looks ok but might need an option after Fridays practice ...

Wierd angle of the front end with the old Blitz Intercooler which is I think about 8 years old still doing a good job... The standard front end and guards still all there. I'm not worrying about saving weight as we are focusing on getting the car out to the track and me getting used to it.

Got out the other week for some testing at SMP. It was good to get a feel for the car around the full GP circuit and was surprised that not many other WTAC cars were out.

We have some prolblems with one of the injectors, motor was knocking on one cylinder. We turned the boost right down and ran 5 sessions.

We put the new 295s on the car for the last session and it didn't rub.

I received the Topstage GT wing (huge) and front undertray. I'm looking to try and get these on the car this week.

Here is some incar footage...

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
