i was driving home last night, going along in second at about 40kmh and i gave it a quick squirt for something to do and it just started dancing up the road for about 20m before i lifted off with a smile on my face.

i think i might throw my other spare set of tyres up on the roof of the house to let them harden up.

Wellll. What we say is buy the best tyres you can afford. Its one place where skimping a bit to save $10 a corner just isnt worth it. I've got $1300 worth of tyres on my car, just on 17s to give an idea on how important I feel tyres are. The way I saved the money on tyres was changing the rear size to a 235 which in my tyres is apparently more popular, therefore cheaper.

Ok, try this place,

I still prefer to pick a quality tyre, but 2nd hand (70-80% tread).

Approx $80 - $100.

Let Mick know you got this off the Skyline website and he'll sort you out.

They also have semi slicks as well.

Just call them first to see what stock they have.

I think the next shipment will arrive in the new year - in time for the next track day, fingers x

i got 235/40 18 nexcens on the rear. I think there a very average tyre. There good if your just doing normal driving but for a performance car i think there the budget choice. Thats why i got them cause i was a little short at the time.

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
