Very interdasting.

Who wouldve thought that thered be that much flex in the rim structure to allow things like bottoming out in turns, and different tyre wear.

Shit looks like I'll be running steelies at the track next time !! lol

interesting read but the Nissan is a heavy slug compared to all Honda, so I dont think we've much to worry about.

Pretty sure thatd your FD1 isnt much lighter than the Nismo Z33 they used in the test...

Does that mean Rotas = better lap times? Trollol

Anyway this is a Cast vs Cast (albit MAT Vs MAT cast)

I wonder what would happen if we have a Cast vs. Forged scenario?

Well my fd1 is about 1130kgs stripped, what would the nissan weigh ?

Base Nismo is about 1520kg? Give or take the options etc...

But MCR's Demo of it changed quite I bit, trying to look through Kobayashi-san's Blog to see the specs...

lol lol
Pls rep if you think its good...

One interesting point I pick up from the this, is the wheel slip causing the wheel balancing to be off. Time to go do my wheel balancing.
