GTR on Track, incar video
 
Hi all!

here is a video from todays Solo Sprint Competition at Race City.

This is my first time on this course, so, I still have a lot to learn on finding faster lines through the track.

I will post more as we go through this series, and as we tune the car more.

I hope you enjoy it!

Way to break it in!

Ha! thanks. It's what they are for hey!

allthough, the pads sure didn't last. 20 ish laps and they are toast.

I was afraid of this...so have you looked into any track pads yet? Are they even available yet?

Although, I bet that if you get high temp track pads on the GTR then the bronze brembo caliper paint will get burnt to a brown color like the calipers on my STi. I wonder if this will then cause warranty issues...

How long do you have the car? And how long ago did it come out in Canada?

yeah any more info on your car vicar?

Vicar 06-04-2008 12:00 AM

the car isn't mine, I am just the driver.

which is sure fun.

as to pads, my crew is having a very difficult time finding them. for now they are re-fabricating HP+ pads to start, I believe from a 350Z big brake kit, or something similar. We did get track specific rotors and rear pads from somewhere, I will try to find out for you. If we can't find it, we just build it, and we are back on the track this Sunday with that car. But I think we will just get them strait from Japan for the following race.

sorry I can't be much more help than that.

oh, and this car just got to Canada very recently, I think 4 weeks ago or so, maybe 5.

So maybe there is a chance for the car to come in the states some time mid to late June don't you think.

Vicar 06-04-2008 09:27 AM

I don't know, I heard a rumor (only that) that the states were stopping it for some reason, that is why it isn't there yet, however, I also heard that it would be there for the Spring.... so I don't know.

maybe someone at your local dealer would know more?
