may i introduce u "R" compound tyre?

s-03<RE-01<RE55s

Those really are the shizzle! We have had a few of our customers change from Michelin Pilot Sport Cups to RE55S's. Cheaper, longer lasting, and better grip on the track :mad:

This one customer bought 12 sets of Michelin's. He paid up front, was pissed because he got charged delivery, fitted a trial set of RE's to see how they compared with the Michelin's, and then had the dilemma of trying to get rid of the Michelin's because he loved the RE's so much! :P

How do the Nitto's hold up?

I believe Whatsisname is still running a set, I remember 555 something on the sidewall.

Last I saw that was able to get a lot of first gear down, what looked like all of second and making close to 300rwkw.

I had brigdestone potenza's on my gtr which has just shy of 300 rwk's and got less than 5,000km out of them. Now at $350 a trye, I thought they were s__t. :D

Now a mate at Affordable Wheels and Tyres told me to try the Hankook K102 tyres . They stick better in all weather and last 3 to 4 times longer. Now at $145 a tyre you tell me Price matters

By the way my tyre size is 225 50R16 92V

Thats my thought's anyway :ermm:

hrmm.. I may look at these Hankook tyres as its the size and price range I am looking at.

I was set on a set of Toyo Tranpaths as a mate had them on his VL and they hooked up pretty well, apparently a silicon based compound tyre.

Great tyre But needs a good burnout to warm them up.

Drive them harder 'round the corners! They'll warm up! If you're looking to launch from a standing start, then circuit tyres aren't for you. Buy some Nitto's and put a dress on :ermm:

I have another on the cards..

A set of Federal SS595, apparently one of the better ones.

I believe Sky30 has tried a whole range of tyres on his rb30det 300rwkw rwd thing. These apparently came out on top for grip and were suprisingly cheap.

As cubes said, i have tried a few brands of tyres with my 300rwkw rb30det including Hankook, Toyo, perelli, and found the Federals to definately give the best grip, and last just as long as the others.

You only have to look at Theo Woollett's GTR that runs

9 second 1/4 miles on a set of Federals.

(And they are cheap at $160 for 225/45/17")

      Nismo copper mix twin “pull” pedal height engagement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The clutch pedal has a procedure for adjustment. This can only be done after you are 100% sure the system is absolutely free of air bubbles. You must bleed the clutch master cylinder first, then the "separation pipe" which is the clutch damper line, then the operating cylinder as detailed in the service manual. Also, you must fully depress the clutch pedal between shifts. Just because you can't feel it grabbing does not mean the input shaft is truly decoupled from the crank. At high RPM clutch plates are vibrating and moving around, you need to give it the best possible chance of success. On the BCNR33 Nissan revises these adjustment procedures slightly but not by much: I would be careful with trying to play games with these adjustments. As for the Nismo operating cylinder they say a lot of things. In practice the twin plate clutch needs less movement on the clutch fork to disengage because the whole stackup of the flywheel + friction plates + pressure plate is much taller. Personally if you find that the clutch still disengages too high at the top of the travel I would try the Nismo operating cylinder. Make sure to follow the air bleed procedures.

      Thank you for the links. I’m going to go with the 6pin plug you used. next step is rust treating re painting dash support bar and steering column then the 6pin cradle plug when it arrives in the mail.

      I don't how much the car makes a difference or whether it is just a question of gearbox and clutch. On mine it's fine. Pull type Nismo coppermix twin (standard, not competition) on the 5 speed in my Stagea. OEM slave cylinder. Bite point is a few cm off the very bottom of the pedal. Clutch pedal all the way down to put in gear, and when heading off at the lights, there's a tiny bit of nothing and then it starts biting. And fully engaged before the pedal is all the way released. There's a bit of play at the top where the pedal does nothing anymore. Are you in Australia @ck_chino? If you are set on using a Nismo slave cylinder I have one new-in-box at home. Ordered it together with the clutch but didn't get it fitted. We can work something out if you want it

      I am using a pull nismo coppermix twin in an r34 getrag box, had both the standard slave and  then the nismo one. Adjusted pedal to get bite point how I wanted , it is on the higher side, but would fully disengage past half way down.  I also read that the nismo slave won't work but I had no issues with the stroke, might become one later as clutch wears but 2+ years of happy motoring so far.  Take the above as one input only, specially as my setup is a bit unique in that I am using an S15 clutch master , cefiro clutch pedal, custom braided clutch line. Lots of variables at play.
