yes RT215s are what i meant thanx beer baron and scathing, think i will probably go the RE55s. donnelliens in box hill they seem to have the best prices .

does anyone own any falken st 215 azenis , say 245/40 xzr18 semi comps? are they anygood. where can you get them for less than $500 a tyre? how do they compare to toyo ra1s and bridgstone re55? any feed back would be good.

ive got one too, $50.00 . location south east melb.

got a quote from toby at meridien motorsprt in moorabbin for toyo 245x40x18 : $535.70 each! are they worth the money?? love to hear how you go at the strip robbos. i think they also come in 275x35x18, too scared to ask for price on those ones he! he!

robos do those tyres come in 18s?

tried gtech 0 to 100 again , the best i could do was a 5.8 second , that was with 3000rpm side step the clutch feed the power in , back of a tad as wheels break loose then change gear and half to three quarter throttle and breaking traction completely from 80 to 100 km/h. got home decided to check tyre pressure and realised tyre pressure still set at clost to 45 psi from being on the dyno. will lower tyre pressure for better take off next time . surely i can at least pull a low 5 sec 0 to 100 on street tyres??? did anyone see the recent test on hoosier drag radials in the lateset zoom magazine out now. their 300rwkw soarer went from 12.4 to 11.6 quarter mile and they are only 225/50/16s!

do any of these tyres come in 18s?

sounds like a plan , what size rims are they on? what size / brand semis.

with the addition of cams going from 260 rwkws to 277 doesnt seem like a whole lot but the car feels like a totally different car to drive, more midrange as well as top end. i thought that the 260 atwheels felt good but 277 rwkws is awesome. i cant wait to get some nittos and go drag racing at calder! i just think that the car is a lot of fun to drive now.

when i drive on low boost 14 psi the power comes on more progressive, 231 rwkws on low does not feel like 231rwkws on high with the old gcg turbo, it feels less violent coming onto boost. on high boost 21psi theres nothing under 2500 rpm where it starts making boost , if you roll out in first gear or second gear with half throttle its very tractable but as soon as it hits 3000 to 4000 rpm the car will break traction . even though the car now with gt30 is 500rpm laggier than it was with gcg turbo , what it has lost down low it more than makes up for when she hits full boost! i think the car was a lot more tractable with high flow , but i think shes alot more fun to drive now.

took her for a drive last night, bloody quick now. tried standing start , launched her at 3500rpm. wheelspin city, span all the way through 1st 2nd and 3rd gear. my dunlop lemans 245x40x18 were useless!!! now i can see why people buy gtrs, cant get traction!!! how am i going to go at the drags when i cant even launch it at a mesely 3500rpm???

yes they will.

i wish it would stop raining, so i can turn up the wick! ha! HA! bloody rain .

Delete this message) Item: Location: Item Condition: Reason for Selling: Price and Payment Conditions: Extra Info: Contact Details: due to fitting tomei poncams i am now selling my standard rb25 cams from my series 1 r33 . they are in good condition, came from engine that had done 113000klms, always changed oil every 5000klms, used mobil 1 synthetic and always ran car on 98 ron fuel. im looking for $150.00 ono. if you send email address i can send photos, thanx. will send cod at buyers expense.

no boost control is part of the link.

i havent picked the car up yet, just spoke to tuner. i will ley you know how it drives when i ve had a good drive. the cams were set on o in stock position no adjustable cam gears. my engine tuner seems to think that an aftermarket plenum would make a difference because less twists and turns e.t.c but for $1200 i dont think id bother. he reckons if i fit a larger exhaust housing like you guys have mentioned that would probably nudge peak power closer to the magical 300 rwkw mark but for now im really pleased with the result. apparently there was no more power to be made over 21psi, i think detonation was definately rearing its ugly head at anything over 21 psi, with the restrictive .63 a/r exhaust housing. also i think the boost spikes o 22psi or so that was the only way we could hold 21psi through out the whole rev range . i will post up shoot out graph as soon as i pick my car up. im running link ecu and electronic boost control.

tried to post results before but it didnt take. anyway i just had my rb25 rebuilt with gtr rods and wiseco forged pistons due to my engine trying to swallow a shoddy weld done to my new induction tract to my new gt 30 500hp internal wastegated turbo. i decided to throw in some step one tomei poncams 256 degrees duration 8.5mm lift and i thought id share my results with the forum. power went from 260rwkws at 20 psi to 277 rwkws at 21 psi! im really happy with the result. probably only do minor tweaks to the engine now like greddy plenum and 4inch magic cat, cant wait to take her to the track!! id love to hear from anyone else running this turbo? the specs are gt30 500hp internal wastegated with a/r 70 comp cover and a/r .63 exhaust. i bought the turbo from horsepowerin a box.com.au

internal wastegate alot better design than garrett.

had to change to 4 inch intake made from mild steel, because the gt30 has a 4 inch bell mouth. had to swap to 1bar cannister because the one that comes with theturbo is only rated at 7psi and therefore you would be lucky to hold anymore psi on high boost. hopes this helps gunmetal grey. if you have anymore queries pm me my in box is now been cleared.

i used a ninety degree piece of 2.5 inch mandrel bent mild steel, utilising stock cooler pipeing and silicon hose. i think thay you can buy the ninety degree silicon hose but looks dodgy to me??? gcg sell it.

i will take it , can you send it cod? check your pm.

yes purchased oil and water lines from hpiabox ,my mechanic used some fittings from standard turbo to fit waterlines. if i had my car id take some photos but still having new motor fitted and run in e.t.c. but could take some photos next week.

is this stil for sale???

check your pm.
