I Need Grip!

Hello, something like the new Falken Azenis RT615 is a great tyre because it has very high all round performance with out the very high price tag and they last really well to, to top them off, they may not look it but they are classed by falken as just a normal street tyre, (Top of the range) value for money I don’t think you can beat them!

I got two 225-40-18 for $660 delivered for the front of my Gts-t and they are Excellent on the street and great out on the race track for grip and I am getting some for the rear soon as well, because the front had so much grip the crappy rears could not keep up.

Best Priced place to get them from is at

www.tempetyres.com.au

Cheers, Raymond

No I am not saying Speedy Tyres would try and rip you off, it’s just that Tempe Tyres are a lot bigger and sell heaps more tyres every week so there margins are a lot less and you get tyres very cheap because of the amount they sell

Personally would go federal tyres, Scott Garwood at speedy's will be able to do a good deal, They always did the best price possible for me when I was down there.

Welcome to the wonderfull world of GTR..

Witch one is it?

How much power is your GTR making and what do you plan doing with it? Do you really need a triple plate clutch???

I'd suggest getting another clutch... I drive my GTR with an R3C (o.s. giken triple) everyother day, my GF also drives my car... but it will never be easy to use! (thats why I love it!!! oh, that and the wine of a dogbox) But I run 390 plus rwkw on the street :-)

Get a Jimm Berry single...

As for tyres... what do you do with your car? If you just drive it on the street, get a good street tyre, if you wan't to race a little get somthing like the Azenis... Horses for courses, if you get a semi comp style tyre, be prepared to have them wear faster...

Feel free to drop by for a chatt if you like (Justin at Kamikaze)

hey my 2 cents.

Hey thanks

I wouldn't have a clue how much power it has but once the forged pistons are in we are going to put it on the 4wd dyno and check it out. One thing i know is that it has alot of torque when it is running 23 psi on the way back from Devonport!!!!!!! Wooooooppps :D I doubt you have seen it since it wasn't on the road for long. If you haven't heres a pic

Im not a hundred % sure exactly what engine work it has done but i do know it has N1 turbos, HKS injectors, bigger cams, brembos on the front, triple plate, coil overs and i think the fuel pump has been upgraded too. And forged pistons soon in a new block.

As for what im going to do with it.......BOOST it i reckon :D. That clutch will be a bitch if i need to go through town

OK...

First things first. GET IT ON THE DYNO!!! No more 24psi!

Second thing, why do you need new pistons and a new block? Need a new block wtf???

Who's doing your work?

Get the thing back together, get it tuned, then don't bugger with it! I can highly recomend Brad Sherrif (if your in Launie) or Kutzie.

As for your clutch, ditch it. If your not going to drag race, the sell it and get your self a good Jim Berry single plate, it'll be so much better to drive, your going to get sick of stalling or "launching" very quickly. You'll end up destroying your gearbox anyway...

It'd be a shame to wreck such a nice looking GTR... My GF is envious.

With that style of set up, it should be a nice quick thing, just piss that clutch off.

If you need any more help, let me now.

Steven Bell. It had already been boared out a few times and it was either put sleeves in or a new block.

I wasn't the one who was driving it on 23psi either when the engine went. The previous owner in Japan had put average pistons in which meant they were already weak. 5 had chunks out of the rim. They weren't quite shattered though

Arha.. thankyou.

Wow, that sux, having to re-block and re-build the thing as soon as you get it.

Oh and you can use a 2wd dyno, just drop the front shaft out of it.

Just get it tuned properly!!!

Even the best forged pistons in the world won't hold up if it's not tuned properly.

sorry to hijack ur thread Rosie....

but has anyone had experience with Falken Ziex Tyres? I believe the 326 not the 512 "all season" tyre.

Getting 18 x 9's on my Hr31 coupe and want it to grip.

Going coilovers front and rear and it currently has 200+ atw, shooting for 220-240rwkw soon.

cheers.

    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
