Hi everyone,

Ive been reading several threads and keep coming across the same problem for alot of different people being wheelspin. Not sure if guys that are new to drag racing are aware of the street radial and the advantages of using them. Im going to do a little experiment next wednesday night with Mona's car.

Compare this weeks sixty foot times on a street tyre to next week on Mickey Thompson Street Radials.

Ill post results on wednesday night. All going well we should be able to organise a group buy for those who are interested. If we oreder 5 or more sets, shold be abel to save $40 a tyre. Usually retail for $290 each.

Ok guys, got some pricing.

235/60/15 $235.00ea

255/50/16 $250.00ea

275/40/17 $275.00ea

This is depending on the amount we buy, im buying one set of each for the shop so we need at least 7 more buyers. these are as cheap as youll find, these tyres retail usually for $270, $290 & $317ea.

Am going to WSID weather permitting on wednesday night so Mona can try a set for a comparison. Will post results, after that ill be ready to order. Can PM me if interested, and will arrange electronic payment.

i can bring tyres to WSID the following week or pick them up from shop.

$250 each for 255/50/16, can only get them this cheap if we get 5 or more buyers.

I am up for a pair of 275/40/17's

:( cheers :(

If we get enough buyers, ill see what we can get a set for, may not be as cheap as the smaller tyres, but still should be discounted.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
