Maybe worth highlighting that you have a built engine and twin turbo's lol. What kind of clutch are you using mate? Sounds like a synchro issue IMO

Cheers Dave

laughed out loud there! Brilliant

The funny thing is track insurance isn't that expensive even for full day events. However, getting the correct cover is.

You may find that it's laying about because of similar problems as you have lol. Pm zmanalex he may have some knocking about.

It's probs cheaper to get it repaired and painted to be honest mate

It's something like this I'm thinking of, remember the y value in "x/y Rz" is a percentage of the width of the tyre, so the rolling radius of the 350z wheels/tyres is about 1cm different between the fronts and rears on rays with standard tyre sizes. Swapping both fronts and rears may be ok, but across an axle? I'm no expert, but surely that would be enough to cause extra use of the dif at the very least? But you don't know for sure if it would cause the accident? Where there's possibility theres liability

ESP was off, and how much heat do you think I put into the tyres when drifting? Not had any blowouts as yet ....... This theory might be right but I know my approach to it would be "@*!# happens" and not try to go all CSI on trying to find something to blame. I think Steve knows Im not pointing any fingers here but this place can come across as overly nannying sometimes, the "what if" factor seems to scare people on here a lot more than it does on the other boards I use The difference is that when drifting the heat and forces are applied different. Traction is already broken and the car is already sideways. I don't know what relevance you never having a blowout drifting has to this. I seen two cars written off at japfest drifting due to blowouts. The fact is even with ESP off the car still controls the braking/slip. It interferes alot when off. VLSD would also be exerting force on the tyre due to one spinning faster than the other due to rolling radius being different across the axle. All these things have an obvious contribution to the cars handling.

Docwra I think what people are getting at is that due to the way the diff and traction control work that its possible that the heat the tyre was subjected to may have been extreme due to the tyres not running correctly across the axle causing malfunction of the diff and ESP

What you're missing is the fact that it is very hard to put the blame onto the garage. It may be negligence but it's all down to evidence. What's to say this chap never swapped the wheels himself at home in the time between the garage doing it and the track session? I will bet my last penny that this is this is what the garage will respond with. At the end of the day it's what you can prove in a court. I personally think its worth putting the pressure on them to see what you can get but in terms of a court hearing for a claim It will be very stressful, expensive and I don't think the chap would win. If the garage have put the wrong tyre on the wrong rim then you may have a good argument

Fronts are 8j rears are 8.5j

you have tried a reset first?

I have one for sale in for sale section

sts kit is a nice kit. Do it mate!

I have a 2006 revup and made 305.5 on rs's dyno with uprev mines was running 290 before though

Exactly, why is 50% something to worry about and 40% not Mine is almost 50%, very slightly under As long as it aint going through the roof you will be fine

Brilliant gains What engine/year is your car. Thats a great figure

Stop being a pussy, i've done the drive too many times now Welcome to the haltech platinum pro club btw Ive got a bet you get points on the way, I know how you drive Be careful on the road into ame theres a digital speed camera that gets you from miles away just as you come into sight on the bend See if you can squeeze my rays and r888's into your boot for the journey home Only kidding keysers gonna pick them up for me. Wait till you see some of the car porn down there mate Theres an r32 time attack car you would love as a drift car.. Wish I was coming with you to be honest but ill be heading down soon to finish getting the nitrous mapped in

Fix it cheaply and use it for a track monster. Search ebay for goki wings, doors etc.. I seen a car @japfest with this stuff and it looked pretty cool

I'm not sure on it to be honest. I think if it was rays that were on it, it would look much more attractive. Possibly a little more aggressive stance by lowering/spacers and possibly skirts/lips Its an aggressive colour code which I think needs the bodywork to match. Well done for being different. Not many people willing to try stuff now with the fear of being shot down.

Got you txt btw, was doing some work for a client so couldnt txt bk Enjoy the drive tomorrow dude
