Track Tyre Decision
_Wing_ replied to Gunnar_11's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
595RSR is priced between r-comps and streets, and it sits where all the other street cross track tyres sit in terms of price and performance. KU36 can't be beat for the price but I don't understand when people say stuff like "If I'm paying double the price of KU36 for X or Y tyre then they better be double the performance!" There's not much that I can think of when talking about performance, where you get double the goodness for double the price - it doesn't work that way unfortunately. -
Definitely use the smaller tyre/rim and upping the pressure to 40psi or even 45psi, others run even higher if you're keen. Is your diff single spinning?

Change Diff Or Strengthen It
_Wing_ replied to 4drlvr's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Not sure what you mean by "strengthening" it? They're all R200 and GTR's have thicker shafts. -
Track Tyre Decision
_Wing_ replied to Gunnar_11's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
The general consensus here is that the more you spend on tyres the better they will be. So ku36 < 595rsr < a proper R-compund semislick. There is no comparison when you goto an R-comp, even the top range potenza RE-01R / neova AD08's / direzza star specs don't measure up when put next to their racing compound cousins. If you want a mainly street cross track tyre then they're the ones to go for, but if it's for mostly track then R-compound is the only way to go. They're not all that super expensive either -
the usual things to go wrong here is the bearing, carrier height, and clutch height. bearing and carrier - mechanic probably used the wrong ones and also overlubed it. clutch height - rebuilder probably machined off a few mil off the basket/cage since you've removed 2 discs. after a quick read of the thread it sounds like the bearing is the wrong one and the carrier is too short. post a few pics of the bearing and the clutch in pieces, that'll help more.

I'm in Sydney/Homebush and if you pay for shipping I will be happy to get quotes, organise a courier and package them, to any part of Australia.

Very easy to put on and take off, it's elastic so it's a universal fit (let me know your tyre size and I'll try it on something I have to make sure it fits), and has a nice hole in the middle so you can actually hold onto your wheel/tyre easily unlike the fully-enclosed wheel bags.

This is because I have already paid for a rebalance, because it was thought that the tailshaft was causing a vibration. Because of the vibrations the car was hardly driven. I never got around to fixing it and it's now uninstalled and sitting in the garage. A handy tip to know is that the flange on the sr20 diff is exactly the same as the flange on the 2nd half of a factory sr20 tailshaft, so if you'd like a 2-peice tailshaft for your gearbox conversion here's the perfect opportunity!

Dirtiest Rims Ever - How To Clean Them?
_Wing_ replied to _Wing_'s topic in Exterior & Interior Styling
I ended up giving jif a go today and it works (thanks to Dale you know who you are)! And as somebody else said would happen, I soon grew tired of scrubbing and scrubbing and decided to just live with it lol I'll end up sand blasting and powder coating them anyways so it'll be perfect then -

Dirtiest Rims Ever - How To Clean Them?
_Wing_ replied to _Wing_'s topic in Exterior & Interior Styling
tried degreaser, it didn't do anything lol and it's going to be difficult to rub and scrub cut and polish in the corner there this stuff is baked on hard! i tried to scratch it and you can see my attempts in the middle of the baked on crap. thanks for the other suggestions i'll give them a try and see how it goes -
I decided to give my wheels a clean but i wasn't all that successful, attached is a before and after shot... now as you can see the brake dust has made a permanent home in the corner there (one of many corners actually) and so I'm looking for suggestions on ways to clean it, anything other than painting over it Let this be a lesson for the lazy lol
