what so good about them???

As mentioned it's replacing the S03 & supposedly was tested at Mallalla against the S03 & had better lap times.

Bridgestone seem to be very confident with it's performance as they've spent $$$$ on marketing.

I was quite impressed with the Adrenalins & will definitely be getting a set once I go through my T1-Rs.

I had G3's on my old VR V8 cop car.

ok tyres, but really, for the cash, they were crap.... crap i say. wife lost it a cple of times. just didnt have the grip youd expect them to have, on a slippery surface.

best priced and performing tyres Ive ever used on a car are my current fare; Hankook Ventus K104 awesome tyre, $190 ea for 17x 235

I dont see how you can lose traction with these tyres on the street - if you do then you're doing something wrong. ie coming too hot into a corner, or perhaps braking thru the corner (big no-no; always end your braking B4 you hook into the crnr)

mind you, i do have AWD and a few extra hundred kgs in the stagea so maybe that makes a difference to a RWD skyline, in the way that they handle..... but this set should last 4yrs (35,000kms). top value. id argue that with anyone.

best bike tyres Ive had were Michelin Pilot's, top of the range goodness :) $290 for rear and $230 for front. worst tyre was Michelin sports, long range tyre not made for kneedown cornering. meant to last 12000kms, I ripped mine up in 5000 lol.

michelins hot spot is in the high temperatures tho isnt it, whereas bridgestone is better known as an all rounder and wet control tyre.

Id take pirellis over both tho. but I am going to go with these andrenalines ive decided.

I had GIIIs on the R34 and they were absolutely brilliant. Only problem was when I went to replace them the rear 255s were going to cost $450 each!

Went for Michelin Pilots and they have been awesome, but as usual I only got just over 10,000km from them.

Might try these out next.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
