Better pushrods is an oxymoron.

For tyres I would see what sort of money you can get Federal EVOs for. Or just use the 595s and get them hot, Noel used them back in the day and they performed well after a large burnout! Also Theo Woolett ran a 9 on them in his GTR so they cant be all bad!

But in all seriousness 90/10 shocks is what you really need. When I first upgraded the turbo in my old 32 I had no traction at all, if I went to pass someone on the highway it would put on a smoke show! But i set up my subframe bushed for squat and got the shockies set up to keep the weight down over the rear and the problem was solved.

In fact I wager that even with bigger, better street tyres you wont get much of a result until the suspension is addressed

nik, some sound advice here.

you will probably find you get more traction if you swap out your coil overs and put your standard struts in.

I don't have standard struts :(, car came with coilovers.

ur skatin everywhere :woot:

Yer it's slippery as hitters hair style, but that gives you an idea of what I'm dealing with (which I'm sure any guys with big power can relate to [even if mine dosent have big power the stall makes it feel like it dows])

:/ Seriously bro. Buy a Maxima.

LOL (and it continues)

Yer I'm regretting not going the 90/10s like I wanted to. Then everyone was like "no no get coilovers and just soften them up youll hate 90/10s" :dry:

coilovers are too hard for ya - as Luke mentioned struts TWTGO

Lawl. Take your car against the abomination at drags :P I know that you said you couldn't be there, but I can drive her :P

I could do that... or I could take my car with me and try it out on the lovely new range they just finished on my way to where I am going... I am yet to see the abomination and I am looking forward to it.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
