hey guys could be a silly question but was just wondering if its worth running all 4 wheels with E/T streets on a GTR to drag on, or just run the rears with the mickey thompson and run a good street tyre on the front?? was told that the side wall on the E/T's arnt very strong so not good for driving on the road cornering etc.

any input would be good cheers :)

If you see drag racing why are you worried about corners?

Use 4 or none IMO.

I ran 4 Hoosiers, 1.5 60ft times FTW! Depending on the power you don't want the rear to grip and the fronts to spin and you'll be able to launch above 7000rpm easily on drag radials on the rear, which when power goes front, will just have them spin.

umm cheers guys i relise if your dragging why about corners but was probably gonna roll around on the street now and then as well thats why worried about corners cheers heaps though, and XKLABA i was under the impression that doesnt matter what tyres you have as long as profile is the same should be fine for 4wd? but you could be right. cheers anyways

size has to be same width, 235/45/17 and 255/45/17 are a diff diameter but same profile, also diff manufactures have diff casing so even if they are the same size in numbers doesn't mean they are allways the same size in reality, but generally close enough.

how tyre numbes work for those that are interested

255/45/17 as example, 255 is the tread width in mm, 45 means the side wall is 45% of the width and 17 is the size of the rim in inchs

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Meanwhile, 20+ years ago, I pulled out the 105mm hole saw and went straight down through the inner guard in front of the airbox to get my stormwater pipe cold air intake in. Right behind the two stock holes for the intercooler pipes. Those have no reinforcement (apart from a couple of robust pieces of steel pipe through them!). I feel that the Australian vehicle standards crews put way too much emphasis on "maintaining the crash performance" of cars and not enough consideration of "any crash is a new and wonderful experiment with a random selection of parameters and you will never be able to tell if an extra 80mm hole through some sheet metal caused a significant difference...but if you close your eyes and squint at the whole structure, engage your engineering brain and have a good think about it, you'd have to expect that it would do jack all."

      You guys are focussing on the wrong part of this post and have headed off on an irrelevant tangent!  Clearly I'm not going to put my most prized physical possession (well it will be once I'm finished it...) on a piece of shit contraption that might fail and crush me or my car!  At no point was that even implied I was trying to buy a butchered P.O.S that some shonky clown had thrown together with a gasless MIG....  Either way I would love to see the build quality of a rotisserie that has failed.  Actually I'd love to see a photo of one that has failed full stop.  Google fails to deliver.  Never happened?? I'll either make one that won't fail or will buy one that wouldn't fail! End Post.....

      Yeah, if you can't breathe for more than about 2 minutes, you're cooked.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, all the power should be getting dissipated across the starter motor. Therefore, ideally, the voltage drop across the earth lead should be convincingly close to zero. Certainly you'd want it to be only a volt or so at max, because otherwise that volt doesn't turn up at the starter to do what is required. A car can probably survive a bad enough earth to crank and start with only 9V or so at the starter motor, maybe even a bit less. But you're seeing only 8V at the battery terminals when cranking, so there can't even be that much available over at the starter, which simply won't do. I would have thought that you couldn't pull enough current (with a healthy starter) to make the battery drop to 8V locally. But I was ignoring the possibility that the starter is in fact crook. If it has shorted windings (or maybe the solenoid is borked and shorting to earth) then I guess it could pull a stack of current and not even look like wanting to turn over. So follow the other boys' reccos too. Because they are just as likely at this point.

      Depending where the whole gets drilled, and what country/state you're talking about, quite likely not.   Under ole vehicle mod rules in NSW, VSI06 allowed for drilling of holes in "non structural" areas. So you could drill a hole through the inner guard, and not need engineering. You couldn't drill over seams, and it was advised to add extra reinforcing around the hole, as well as something to protect from sharp edges.   Again, it's all about finding the documentation for where the mod is to be done, AND then being able to explain the situation, with the documentation as to why you don't need engineering, with a positive attitude, to any one of the likes eg, police, vehicle inspector, etc.
