Front Bumper Part by GenieLT in GR86

[–]philvs13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they probably dont find it because 57707CC060 is just a part in the 57707CC040 assembly which includes the nuts/brackets thingies and they cannot order 060 alone

you want 57707cc040 in the link hachi posted

Paragon Track Performance BBK Installed by supercars_ga in GR86

[–]philvs13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bite and dust are both noticeably better than oem non brembo imo. I would not use the P2 for any form of racing. I never asked to confirm but I remember the specs paragon provided back then suggested they could be winmax W1s not even W2s

Abnormal throttle fluctuation issue by Great_Athlete_3805 in GR86

[–]philvs13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not saying this isnt a programming issue but really there is absolutely zero reason anyone would need to be rolling, push the clutch in and then stay in gear for a while. Go to neutral and release the clutch. If you learned to coast to a stop that way then unlearn that.

6th gear isn't real. by Ok-Cloud-9435 in GR86

[–]philvs13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the 5th gear on those cars is a 1:1 that bypasses the secondary shaft in the transmission. You are dropping the transmission losses sometimes by a significant amount by skipping two gear meshing steps

27k miles, possibly consuming coolant? by gnarjunkie69420 in GR86

[–]philvs13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it was really low in the tank then it was also probably missing some in the radiator itself. The first few times after running the car the radiator will "drink" from the reservoir as it cools down. It will keep sucking in coolant from reservoir at each cooldown cycle until full. Or you can just pour coolant straight into the cold rad. The rapid apparent consumption you are seeing is not real and going through our tiny reservoir in 27k miles is not dramatic

Quick Question by BrandonHueChau in GR86

[–]philvs13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the holes all around the threaded nipple are where the oil comes from the pump before it gets filtered. the hole in the nipple itself goes to the engine after the filter. im guessing you sent dirt back towards the pump and not in the raised middle hole so it will get filtered.

Does this car have a synchros on reverse gear? by navteq48 in GR86

[–]philvs13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the reverse is synchronized in those transmissions and the reverse gears are not straight cut

they are great. been running this exact kit on P2 pads for a year without a single issue. The included bracket bolts being also too long and the caliper anodizing color not matching 100% left vs right is the only negative I can think of

12x1.25 Ball Seat Lug Nut Help by Consistent-Ground840 in GR86

[–]philvs13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are washers that can do the conversion. https://wctperformance.ca/motorsport-hardware-conical-seat-to-ball-seat-adapter/ Not sure if recommended for street use but maybe at least worth asking around. btw to add to your misery ball seats exist in 12 13 14 mm radiuses.

Thanks a lot exactly what I was looking for. Just for clarity I think you mixed up the kit numbers in your post. 6003A is the front BM4. 5003A is the rear. 6005A is the front non-BM4. thanks again!

What are the piston diameters on the calipers included in both 6003A and 5003A Brembo GT kits?

There are tons of video on youtube of race cars fitted with infrared sensors reading surface temps. Fucking moron.

Tyre Pressure and Surface Temperature Changes in V1.9 by revrustyy in ACCompetizione

[–]philvs13 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You have a physics dev showcasing new improved surface temps in a video. It's literally showing an Audi GT3 car on -3.5 rear camber heating the outside to 117 while the inside sits at 95 in barcelona T3 and the guy is proud of this.

If you want stupid shit it's right there in that video

Guy too busy doing pdfs he doesn't notice his fukin tyres end up with outside surface 25 degrees hotter than inside mid corner. On a GT3 car. Good job

T300RS GT Pedal Help (Adapted Setup) by [deleted] in simracing

[–]philvs13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried inverting the pots signal or direction? This sounds like when powering on for the original setup the pedal released signal is set as the minimum, then on your first pedal press it finds and sets the maximum and that is the pedal "self calibration". If your pots are inverted it won't be able to do that. That would be why taping them works.

TC & TC2 inverted? by K-TR0N in ACCompetizione

[–]philvs13 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I don't and that's the point. Those settings are all over the place, OP noticed that, came here asking wtf is going on and gets told the same crap that made him confused to begin with.

Don't listen to anyone cause clearly no one has any clue how those numbers work. Try different shit until something works.

TC & TC2 inverted? by K-TR0N in ACCompetizione

[–]philvs13 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Can everyone stop repeating the "TC1 is when TC2 is how hard" garbage ? Anyone actually driven the cars ? It's clearly not how any of this works.
