255/45/17 Instead Of 255/40/17 ?
hardsteppa replied to KrazyKong's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Re003 in a 235/45/17 averages out to about 130 a tyre with current offer. -

Nothing will ever beat a triple carby setup. -

Bigger sidewall, more flex, less direct feeling. May or may not be an issue at that size. -
Tyres you use(d) and how u would rate them

Re003s are now 169 ea for 3, get one free. Cheap tyre, made in thailand. -

ok after a drive in the mountains today I'm quite happy with the RE003's, with the tyre pressure now at 42psi (235/45/71 size). Didn't seem to overheat, gripped well and fairly progressive with the loss of traction. Not bad for cheap tyres. -
Fuel Pressure Regulator Suggestions
hardsteppa replied to yoshiii335's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
loooool.....come on OP, how can you expect to get serious help now, when you're asking the same shit 2 years later? It's not even a big decision, and I can't believe you've read that much conflicting information to make it that much a tougher choice. I'll help though - don't add a variable that doesn't need to be there. I had a tuner that thought it would be a good idea to wind up the base pressure so much that as soon as the rate rose under boost it would overload the fuel pump and pressure would drop, not raise, via the relief valve - even though my 550cc injectors were large enough that only a small increase in base pressure that was needed. And so I have to try and tell this experienced (and yes, he was a reputable, knowledgable and experienced tuner in all other aspects) why this doesn't seem to be a good idea. And yes after I got over the novelty of having a shiny adjustable FPR, I went to a larger 800cc injector and back to stock FPR....better in every aspect. -
R34 R2000 Diff Issues. Small Or Big Fix? Not Sure.
hardsteppa replied to iamme's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Ideally use the oem ones from Nissan as you will note the thicker section of the bolt that has no thread, that joins the 2 flanges....but really any high-tensile M10 bolt of the right length with a 14mmm head will do. Bolt shop, or Bunnings will have them. -
Driving Like Crap, Timing Out By Tonnes (rb25det)
hardsteppa replied to Paymh's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
What the fk. Are you saying you want to know how to get it running right, while timing marks are all over the place and unable to line up where they need to. Download workshop manual or follow one of guides on here; pull off timing belt and set it up as instructed. -

Yes invo's were very quiet and smooth; they are marketed as a partly luxury tyre. Bit too much so for me even i don't mind a bit of noise/roughness, as long as it grips! -

Actually now i remember, i sacrificed a 14mm spanner for this job. Cut the open-end off leaving just the ring end and shaft, then slide a length of right-sized pipe over shaft to give you a breaker-bar spanner. I call it SST#438 -

so I got the RE003's....on for a week and not wowed by them, they're ok but seems sidewall is too soft, leaving them lacking in directional stability on the front when cornering hard. Will put a few more psi in them and see how that goes. Had also used Nitto Invo's - bloody excellent, soooo much grip in the wet, I would have to ride the brakes HARD to get them to lock. Great in the dry too and very stable in cornering; got about 9000k's to them with about 25% tread left, at which point they had noticeably lost grip but still quite predictable, even though slidey. Also used Michelin Pilot sport 3's, found them similar to the Invo's but just not quite as good IMO. -
The difference in boosting to 10psi on stock actuator alone vs boosting on ebc is quite big though. Ebc is worthwhile.

The mallet did it for me; maybe drop the tailshaft as well and give it a go once its off the car and you can get good angles? -

maybe offer postage. you're really cutting your market, offering only to Campbelltown locals. I once stopped the night in a motel there on a road trip and thought I was going to die, or my car wouldn't be there in the morning at very least. Local paper was nothing but stabbing and drive-by reports....Bit rough.
