i have already got the above on , but will need to go full slick eventually. All slicks seem to suit 15"rims , if there was a 16" i would have a look at it.

i have just been informed that a Yokahama Advan 15' rim should fit where the damn ya get those

Offensive just mentoined using a smaller caliper? I still wonder what rim people have used even doing that?

Theo Woolet's [ON EDGE] Drag 32 GTR runs stock rims with slicks, if you can find out what hes running....

and even if he's only running semi slicks, hes doing 8 second passes in them.

Got a feeling your right, doubt though whether he is using the MT ET's now?

Interesting if he is but i don't think so- wonder what slickes - if he is , using because i cant seem to find any true slicks in a 16, wonder how is going for wall height and associate well clearance ?

There are definitely 16" slicks available. I agree...run the drag radials first and then switch to full slicks.

Youve got it, just finding 16" slicks with correct profiles hard to find.If people are running 8 on radials imagine what they could do with having better traction? still like to know what Theo's using - opened his web site in attempt to contact him but site seems to have afew glitches,i'll try agin later - any linlks to 16' slicks any one ?

Have a look at the link. That uses 15" advan rims. http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/_2003web-catalogue/e230_drag.html

Now thats what i want!

he was running in the street tyre class last season which means no slicks. i have had 15' rims on the rear of my gtst and a front runner with big offset on the front, otherise the single pot calliper will give you more clearance. dont need big brakes for drag racing, and if your planning on going fast enough to run slicks you will have a chute anyway.

bogart racing wheels from the states can be made to suit r32gtr with oem brakes will make to order so you can run 26x10x15 slicks without any modifications. squaring of the inner guards will allow you to fit 28x10x15/16

both heattreatments & hks skyline use bogart rims

All done boys - managed to obtain the Tomei drag car wheels ( one that was stolen and dismantled) - nice and light - bolt straight on - Adavans. Have slicks on, no good for use but good for fit up . Thanks to Mark from Godzilla Racing and the lads at Hi Octane . Arrive mid next week.

Cheers ya all.

      Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
