I'll have to keep an eye out for that issue

Well, after a 6 month wait the February issue of Import Tuner is hitting stores this week.
2nd overall is not bad for a car that was literally put together the week prior to the event.

Wow great job manonegra!!! repping the S chassiscrew....

boostdd · 02-17-2013, 10:48 AM

@hOngsterr. Would the S chassis benefit from a squared tire setup, on my s2k I run 255 on all 4 corners at the track

Very nice timing you have there.

I believe you will be able to cut another 2 to 4 seconds on places where you've "coasted" a bit.

This video should help a bit.

WhiteGLX · 02-19-2013, 05:45 PM

More front tire would be beneficial with the correct alignment to make the most of the extra surface area in hard and high speed corners.

I only ran square tire setups on my S13 when i raced it. Initially i ran 245/45R16 Hoosiers then i upgraded to 275/40R17 on a set of 17x9.5's all four corners. I really enjoyed being able to rotate the tires every 2 sessions and maximize wear.Helped them last longer and spend a little less money in the long run.

I havnt been on the track in over a year now sadly, but the S chassis guys i tracked with locally all ran same tires all for corners for the same issues even if more rear tire could fit it was a cost issue and just an overall no need for ridiculous rear tires and minimal front tire.

*hOngsterr* · 02-19-2013, 10:02 PM

i had a square set up with a stock ka, sucked.

now im boosted so i havent changed my set up yet lol

yeah dj of e i know i have more to learn, that was my 3rd session until my belt broke.

better than me. By the time my 3rd session finished, my engine started making squirley noises until I found out my bearing are on their last legs. Skipped the last session just so I could "drive home."

Not bad for 215k engine.

its kind of rare to find other s chassis drivers at buttonwillow, we need to connect! lol

when i got the 2:14 i miss shifted into 4th instead of 2nd. fail life.

arg23 · 07-08-2013, 11:21 PM

Finally got a couple of quiet laps in Shitty one relaxing summer evening at MMP. Took the cars OG owner and girl for laps around the 3 mile outer course. Car needs a lot of work, typical old S car problems, clunks in the fronts, strawberry milkshakes all over my garage, and shock oil left the building long ago (lucky for me MMP is so smoof).

3 wheels on Hankook RS3's!

Whoa pedal makes for cheerful rotors. But where is that front end dive, oh yah no race tires

HighwaystarJC · 07-23-2013, 11:13 PM

just read the thread. i can't wait to start on mine

*hOngsterr* · 07-23-2013, 11:19 PM

arg23 are those kosei wheels?

LuckyLuciano · 08-06-2013, 10:26 AM

As a road race guy myself, it's awfully refreshing to log into Zilvia on a whim and see a fairly active thread. Keep it up! I'll be waiting in anticipation to eventually build an S-chassis of my own.

Would it be too blasphemous to post my non S-chassis track pics?

slider2828 · 08-06-2013, 02:18 PM

Nissan's are ok hahaha!

But yea I am still building my engine. Stomach flu sidetracked me for 3 weeks. Geezus.... But back to build now. Hopefully ready for winter...

*hOngsterr* · 08-07-2013, 12:53 AM

ken, winter come down to buttonwillow? haha

slider2828 · 08-07-2013, 01:08 AM

That sounds good.... I would definitely let you drive my car.... So much to do so little time LOL.
