try 205 on a 9" :P

stretched is for drifting, but for racing id go with fattest tyre possible to fit in ur guard for all the handling you can get

Only if you are going with the best quality tyre you can afford. Meaning that its useless squeezing the widest tyre you can under the guards if its a cheapo tyre, when a smaller top quality tyre will do an equal or most likely way better job.

Also useless using a massive wide tyre on the back if your running a lot of negative camber on the rear, you won't be increasing the tyre contact patch at all

Hypnotik: mate id be quit happy to show u my 265s on the 8" rim, pm me we can meet up to show u as im on the coast.

and ive taken my car around a track and for street tyres they handle fine, nothing psycho but if i wanna have more fun on the track i either put my MT slicks for drags, or my Falken Azenis on my 17" rims...

btw: that pic of the silvia looks hideous, worst looking example of a silvia i have ever seen

You guys have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Especially Hypnotik. It seems you like to talk about things you've neither done nor have experience with. In other words, you're regurgitating misinformation you've been fed without having the first clue what you're on about.

I ran 275's on my 17 x 8's and had no problems. And I'd think twice before suggesting I didn't have enough of the tyre on the track because I have timeslips (read: real world personal experience) to back it up.

Sorry, but i just refuse to meet up with someone like you who obviously has no clue, your last sentence just totally proved that. To think your example of an R33 can even compare to a tough looking S13 such as Nigels, widely considered as the best S13 Silvia in Australia is a joke. The amount of work and engineering gone into that S13 is simply mind blowing, in another world from the majority of imports in Australia with all their bolt on mods (including my car). Your car could never even come close to matching this S13. You just continue hard parking your R33...

Why don't you post up a pic of what you think is a good example of an S13?

Please explain to me what is so wrong that i have previously said... Sounds like you have no clue if you thing that all there is to gaining traction is squeezing the biggest tyres possible under the rear of your car. Oh, those 275's on your car look f**king horrible...

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      Mechanic in Victoria

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
