Gtst Vs. Gtr

[MJTru]

Hi i have a situation that i hope you can help me out with.

i had a race today and lost to a GTR about 2-3 car lengths

i have a GTST with a fully built motor and all supporting mods. except for coils witch is limiting me to only 12psi. Anything over that and i get a bad misfire. (new split fire coils are on the way.)

with only 12psi I'm having a traction problem and need better rims and tires.

i need a set of drag rim's and tires, size about 15x11 inch wide for the rear x2 . and one of the best drag tires on the market.

the car is about 750 hp. can any one help me with the offset that i will need or anything that can help in this situation.

gtst+standard coilpacks+12psi = 750hp= 559.27kw hard to belive

I doubt you'll find anything in 15 x 11" to suit a Skyline backspace and even if you could, you'd struggle to make it fit under the standard guards. If you're turning 17" drag radials to shreds then just get full slicks. I reckon the biggest you will fit is a 28 x 9" slick and that will be far from easy.

Mate, have you given any thought to your suspension? That level of power to only two wheels is going to give any sort of tyre grief. I would be looking at your rear end setup before tyres. Suspension can make or break a car.

thanks mate so how about 15x 9 or 15x10 the most. OK lets say were going to use 15x9 what would you recommend (witch tire brand

and type.

the last person that replied said i should think about my suspension. i have a set of coil overs, thinking about it that's not a drag setup.

can anyone recommend a suspension set up for this GTST.

yes i know people read other threads. i own 5 skylines 3 Silvia's and 1 240sx

the car i was referring to was a white GTST that i just got from japan. (stock car) i was planing on investing 3000 dollars into the car for small upgrades.

i dont ask question to fool myself dood. i ask to learn.

would you like me to post the cars i own and if so how would that help my situation.

I'm planing on getting a GTR in the coming future for full Drag set up.

can you help me with a suspension set up for the GTST (drag set up.)

Just out of curiosity have you ever tried taking out the coil overs and having a go with standard suspension ? Coil overs are generally way too firm, specially if they are in the car from Japan. Those guys love using spring rates on the street that really should be track only

thats od that you say that, i was thinking of the same thing. before i put the coil overs on the car felt like it lunched better with the stock suspension. i think this has to do with the spring rate like you mention and the travle the car should scwat better off the line and in gear changes with the stock set up.

I was thinking on contacting the guy at titan motorsports and asking some question on the setup i should be using.

there always battling GTR and should be able to help.

do you think 15x9 rims with 28x9 mickey thompson full drag tire would fit on the GTST.???????????????

[~Hypnotik~]

I realize its pretty obvious, but if you haven't already get a set of pineapples and adjustable rear camber arms. Its not going to matter what tyres your running if you've got -5 deg camber.

i'm new into the drag world i dont know what a pineapples is.

the adjustable rear camber arms i know about and will buy them asap. with the arms your saying to run the rear wheels at -5 deg camber.????????????right.

what is a pineapples ?????????/

[MJTru]

I'm thinking of these rims in 15x9 with 5 inch back space. and M/T 28x9-15 et.

check the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...55&viewitem=

does anyone know if they will fit in the above size application.

[2rismo]

I don't think 4" is enough backspace for that rim. I reckon you'll struggle. Measure it up and see.
