Take two laps to warm the brakes up ( it's very rear grabby during those two laps)

Then it become epic under brakes

Shows the limitations of the stock master

I have a massive list of things to do as usual

Number one is install the ap twin master balance bar setup I have for it with rear adjuster

It's got 4 degrees up front and 3 at the rear

Tyres seem to like that geometry

IKEA arms makes it easy

Why some much at the rear fatz? Appears to understeer in the correct GTr manner then get snappy when you touch the throttle. Less neg on the rear be a better set up?

yea was just trying a few things the car was previously at 3 front and 1.9 rear

the plan was with a agressive front lsd i wanted abit more snap at the rear at the start of the corner to suit my driving style...the 4wd then kicks in and we get out of the bend hard blazing all 4.

sau day ill dial it back as jenna is driving as she is not a massive fan of a snappy rear end.

however once the 4wd is back and working 100% then ill give it another bash.

4 degrees at the front was getting epic turn in though.

Yeah all the cool kids run four or more degrees at the front. Reckon the Japanese use massive spring rates because they don't run so much neg camber.

Looks funky but then it is next to impossible getting the right offset rims.

Get an Evo, they do that from stock. Properly driven should be faster into/through most corners if lacking some of the straight line snot.

    • Reading your posts Josh, sometimes I feel like I've gone in a time machine back to the 90's when everyone was doe-eyed and figuring things out for the first time.  I've lost track of how many single turbo GTR's I've seen on track that haven't burnt down lol. Everything has been figured out a long time ago. These things are at the point now where its essentially turn-key to go single turbo. 
    • Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.
    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
