Be carfull with getting wide tyres on a front engine rwd. As I found good 285's - 335's are all designed for rear or mid engined cars that have a lot of weight over the rear wheels. In a front engine rwd you will never get the tyre working properly to generate any grip. Dunlop do make a good 285 but again its in a hard compound designed for Porchers :(

Our car was 30K...but then broke the world record for labour charges for a GTR street engine build (no, unfortunately we didn't build this one) So yes you car may be cheaper than ours...hehe

Is that from the same people who brought you "2hrs labour/install for a plug-in ECU" ??

Woops Dunlop do make a good 295 not 285 but it is for Porchers. There is a 285 in a Bridgestone RE55 but you will never fit it on a jap car as it is way too tall. Again it doesnt come in a soft enough compound for a front engine rwd :laugh:

thinking of running a book on what our best time will be.

bit like a guessing competition, contestants nominate a lap time to the nearest 10th of a second...$10 to enter...winner takes all. Nearest to the time wins or 1/2 the cash if tied.

so who's in?

I'm running 265 wide Re55s on my GTR and a couple of the guys at QR are running 285s on theirs... ?

edit: Paul I havent used one on mine but really need one. Have watched the guys with one at QR in comparison to me and corner exit looks a whole lot more pleasant than without one!!! lol

Our suspension mechanic looked at some details on it today...he's impressed with it. Im sure Luke will get the best out of it.

I think we are running 285's on the rear of the Honda S2000. Just got some new wheels so that they will fit in the standard guards....yeah baby.

can i use your old ones boz the hq rubber is to small 195/60/14 but the white walls look great on the gtr

How are the tyres coming along Jas?

I have some spare white walls if needed :D

I think they are only 12 inch in diameter as they may be from my old Datto 1200 days.

Ruzic ATTESSA controller going in car this weekend...anyone got one/used one?

Currently run one in my 33 GTR. I like it. Allows for more control over the power shift. Certainly makes my front diff work a litter harder (and hotter) as I tend to have the power transfer come on quicker than standard. For want of a better word, gives you more "feel" and more controlled power slides in tight corners.

    • 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.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
    • If you do make them, im sure you would have a number of buyers.. Every GTR I've been in have rattly door windows
