[|N|]

[bennjamin]

ive found as a previos noob but with bigger balls i did a 1.18 in a stock ITR a few years ago...it was not skill but more so simply hanging on eheh....which brings me to the point ~ can we have an idea of who the instructor was etc as it dosent sound too flash of a time

Sorry but i don't know the name of the driver instructor this was 1 1/2 years ago during a trackday organised by Circuit Club, all i can tell you it was a anglo with a RED DC2R.

Personally i believe if you did a 1.18 on your very FIRST trackday with road rubber in a ITR, i reckon your pretty good BUT thats just my 2c.

Anyways i'll keep everyone up to date of how the DC2R vs DC5R vs S2k when it happens.

as ben said 1.18 for dc2r is not amazing at all.... back then ben was the biggest noob *runs away frmo chuck* .

i m not gonna mention any name here... but i have seeen EK4 ran 1.16.7 and EK GLi 1.19.1 both stock with minor sussy mod and st tyres. so if an instructor does 1.18 in his own dc2r. thats not impressive at all.

[EKNR33]

Hahha sorry it must of came out the wrong way,

My friend was doing 1.20-1.21 in his DC2R with very little brake pads left and low tyre treads.

The so called instructor driver was doing 1.15-1.16 in his OWN car with azenis, he saw how shocking my friend was performing and was going to show him a thing or two, but only managed a 1.18 in my mates car.

Ek4 running 1.16 and GLI 1.19 on there FIRST trackday is pretty impressive, i can understand it, if they have been a few times and have a bit of experience under there selves, BUT there VERY first trackday running those times i am impressed.

anyway, anyone else from here attending the next trackday organised by circuit club?

[gelo]

i will be
and my friend in a stock dc2r running 1:14 on st tyres

we can go on and on about this topic, all it comes down to is each and every owns personal best/aim that they can achieve...and if they achieve there PB's then the driver should be happy... hell i still havent reached my aim that i want yet....but its all about fun first.

i might go to this CC trackday if there is still some spots left. its just so cold
trying to get up early.

[EKNR33]

ASTRO: COLD is GOOD! :P hahaha well TURBO cars perform better at least and i'm sure the N/A guys will benefit from the cooler air intake as well.

Last CC trackday i went to it was bloody 35degrees!! this time around i'll be looking to cut some time off my PB just due to the weather TURBO's don't like HEAT. hahaha.

Anyways if you want to goto the CC trackday contact them ASAP as spots are very limited now and its just around the corner.

GELO: I'll see you down there mate i'll be in the White R33 Gts25t 'NISSAN' hanging around the black s2k and the few type-r's.

[Astro]

CC trackday is all filled.

anyone want to give me there spot?? ahahha

[gelo]

ill be in a all black ek4

[SiR JDM]

ill admit i havn't read many replies, so im not sure if im repeating any posts but ill give my 2c regardless

My experience lies with Vic track, Winton (v8s raced there the weekend just passed so if anyone watched it thats the track im talking bout )

Ive driven an ITR on winton...
Ive been in an ITR on winton. Ive also been in an s2k on winton.

Compare both cars
ITR - street Advan tyres, D2 coilovers, Fujitsubo power getter exhuast + spoon headers.

S2k - Very worn semi slicks, spoon exhuast

On difference days of course, but the lap times were easily about 3~5 second difference on average.. which on track is a huge margin. (in favour of the S2K)

I think, even though the R is a "race bread" monster, the s2k is an exteremly well designed vehicle. If the drivers are equal, and both are stock cars, the s2k should come out on top in most situations.

It really depends on the drivers alot too. Personally, i prefer the comfort of a FF car... its alot less risky to go hard in... if your understeering, you lay off the accel a bit... with the s2 you will need to let the rear kick.. you need to slide it out without lossing it, while maintaining your line, revs... the s2k requires alot more skill, but if you can manage it, it has more potential than the ITR ... IMO! =]

hope that made some sence and helps out the topic
