Then take off in 2nd pretty sure you'd have enough torque for that!!

depending on the road but traction is hard to get in 1st, 2nd and sometime even 3rd, big car, easy to handle mmmmmmm sideways!!

it doesnt matter what road surface for some reason. I cant get traction at all in 1st and if i rev it too fast or start reaching 4k rpm and above the thing starts to go sideways/fishtailing. but damn i hate the wet in such a big car that is rwd although im sure others are the exact opposite of me and love the wet.

And what happens when you put it in 2nd after wheel spin for a couple of seconds? You must get a fare bit of tramp then, cos mine get plenty of wheel spin also and a whole heap of tramp(hate that feeling)

Yeh sweet, i was born there left when i was 2(well had no choice on the matter) You don't drive to Adel everyday to go to work do you? Thats a longish drive!!

nah mate, i live and work here, i dont like the place that much. im in adelaide most weekends, we got a place there too.

they just cover the width, thus no noticable streaching but i think i need 276's.

Nah dude streach is good especially on the rear, i have same wheels 8.5 front and 9.5 rear, and i run 235/40/18 all round, rears have good streach while not as much on front looks fat and it acctually used the wall of the tyre when up to a higher temp and getting a booting.

Rear cradle bushes will help the axle tramp but then will be more happy to ass end out. Try changing gears just after it hits boost and somwhat feather the throttle off until wheelspin stops, see how that goes!! :Pimp2:

who streched the tyres for one. as when i had to buy mine no who would do it - except dodgy workshops which i couldnt find, so had to go with what i just stated. those measurements reminds me of my friends car who has 235 streched over 10" width rims - you know who im talking bout sam we went for a thrash in his car.

Who ever won't streach tyres are soft, fair call if someone wants to streach 215 or 225 on that size rim, but 235 is streached but not that streched, Go see Dave at WheelWorx on South Rd just north of Anzacs, he can give you a good price on tyres and streach them if you want, tell him i sent you and he will sort you out anytime.

I don't want to make a liar out of SAMBO so.. here goes...

"nEEERRRRRRRRRR"

BTW... nice pics SAM!!! they turned out awesome.. well for my car atleast..lol

    • It's going to be gregged when it spins a bearing (it's in a Skyline, it's inevitable) and he takes out that super close windage tray 😛   Greg, did you say you changed the roller rocker RATIO or just the type you're using?
    • One of the big things people mess up to, is the location of the ports on the sump. Add them in one spot, and the movement of everything in the crankcase makes it hard for oil to drain down there. Place it in another area, and it aids it. Same sort of issue with the cam covers. One side of drain holes is copping it hard from air movement pushing up.   Also, if your catch can has a 2.3L capacity, and you've only ever drained 600ml of oil out of the catchcan, yet the catch cans breather has puked oil everywhere, fact of the matter is, your catch can is doing a shit job of oil/air separation, and a massive improvement alone would just be in a better catchcan design.
    • It's usually the pointy end of the wheel brace* digging into the palm of your hand. * I refuse to use the term "lug wrench".
    • not something I originally wanted to do. My plan was to just add the cam splash shields. This is the result of speaking with a few people in both time attack and drifting that have RB's making the same or more power than mine with the same issues. Using their experience and advice for what has actually worked in a similar application (sustained high RPM, long sweeping corners). They all have had at least an additional head sump drain breathers on top of the rear of head welsh plug drain/breather. I wouldn't do this for a car that's only street driven even my current setup has been sufficient for street duties.
    • The OEM lug wrench you really need to put a lot of body weight on it to hit 75-80 ft-lbs compared to a torque wrench where I can knock it out no problem as a desk jockey that never hits the gym. The torque limit is your own body.
