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

Cheers, Raymond

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.

    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
