Na sorry dude, that wasn't me, I was up north at Kew drinking heaps and doing some of this. :throwup:

LOL - fair enough sounds like fun

TOSH - where are you gonna hook up for accomodation?

  • 2 weeks later...

hmm ill see if i can make it...if im not too stressed out from exams...

hey franky you coming to this one ????

oh and btw...my tyres are sort of going...esp the rear end...

should I

a) drive conservative unil then and then change afterwards or

B) get new tyres before then ??

I know it depends on how you drive...but how bad is wakefield on the tyres ?

shonen, with your tires i would get them before you go down if your gonna push pretty hard, depends on your driving style there too! also if they are pretty soft compound tires they will take a bit of a beating!

i would get new ones and do at least 500km on them before you head down!!

im still good for this day should be bringing at least 2 cars with me on the day too!

hey Tosh, you got a number on how many coming so far?

yeah they will take a fair hiding! really depends on what compound they are! i've always gone down with cheaper sime tyres on it that last for atleast 4 track days plus normal driving!

the softer and better the grip= shorter time they will last!

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
