haha i have been slowly accumulating!

so far i have (on the cheap!!!)

stock r33 rims two have different tyres and two have no tyres

some old 16 inch tyres to put on the rims with no tyres that i bought for $20 (both)

now im just looking for some matching tyres for the other two wheels, but if not i guess they will have to do, they are going to get destroyed anyway ;)

i dont want to kill my new expensive front tyres on my 17s so ill run the shit tyres on 16s all round i hope i can keep the car on the skidpan :)

what are u going to use on the skidpan?

Edited by siksII

put some good tyres on the front, otherwise your car will understeer like anything. The back ones will heat up and get grippy, and the front wheels will just get pushed and lose grip.

your front tyres don't get worn much because they should be pointing in the direction you're sliding :)

hey mate thanks for the info, i have been to the skidpan before so i know what your saying :)

i have found u still end up eating up the edges of the front tyres, and i would like to have the extra front grip as you say but i dont want to ruin the edges of my new front tyres

    • I'm not sure the diode only will give the desired result. I'd probably approach it with a couple of relays (And you still might need a diode too!). You need to be able to break the constant feed from the headlight to the orange corner globe when the indicator is flashing. Not knowing which Skyline we're talking about specifically here too (And it may not matter, but I don't know the R34 column switches) you'd likely need to rewire the stalk, so that the indicator power itself no longer runs through the stalk too, as now you need it able to trigger a relay that will break the constant supply from the headlights to the indicator, then you'll need a separate relay to trigger the indicators to come on (Replacing the internal action of the indicator stalk).
    • Weird story from me My Toyota 86 was with Commbank comprehensive but for market value (who they use to underwrite is unknown) When I munted it beyond financially viable repair in 2020, rear end smashed in to the point it bent the rear quarter and roof, they knew I paid $31k cash for it because I told them, they still paid me out $38k, as all the 2017 limited edition variants with typical Km and condition were going for between $36-41k, so they did weird math and came up with $38k I never officially mentioned any of the mods that I had done, but as they were not the cause of the crash they were not fussed at all, the insurance inspector actually asked if I wanted to replace all the mods with the OEM stuff if I still had it laying around before they took the car I still came out of it behind though, because I had probably dropped $20k in it with the suspension (bent after the prang), wheels (bent as well) and "other" mods, that the inspector asked about But still, as the market value was higher than what I initially paid, and they paid out market value To say I was surprised with the outcome would be an understatement  Weird, but true, but probably just lucky with the inspector on the day I guess  Sadly, I don't think if I munted the old NC1 MX5 I would get the same result Meh, pay to play
    • Well, the car is back, all straight and shiny, for how long for is anyone's guess  After picking it up we went for a bit of a drive, Jebus I really enjoy driving this little thing, hopefully the weather let's us go for a nice long cruise this weekend as it will be out of my hands for at least a few days next week when it heads back into Mania on Monday It's weird, whilst I do always enjoy going for a drive, the NC makes me feel like a kid who has just got his first car, and they just want to drive wherever and whenever they can I really need to look into the MX5 Club of NSW
