Hmm, forgot about koya... though really the cost difference between koya and the kiwamis isn't much

Yeah new that ain't cheap

But there are some that pop up 2nd hand once in a while

I got my set for $600

Wasteland brahs quick advice

As I dont know much about stretched tyres or stanceworks or hektik mexican poke and strech

Bought some 9.5inch rims with Achilles 235 crappy tyres on them so lots of stretch.

Need to run these temporarily before I can order some proper 265 tyres.

Max psi for the tyre says 50psi.

What psi should I have the tyres at to minimize chances of the rim rolling off the tyre?

As when I went to the servo one tyre was on low psi and the rim actually came off the tyre 1/2 way

I've put in 36 psi for now.

Safe to go fast around corners with streched tyres or not really?

Fkn lol @ 235's on 18's being dangerous...

in 18's ADR's state 245/40 is the minimum legal on a 9.5, so it's only 5mm each side under, however most decent tyre manufacturers will state 235/40/18 as the minimum reccomended for a 9.5. This mean's it has been tested and they are happy to put the company name behind it

I have always run 235/40's on 18 x 9.5 or 235/45 on 17 x 9.5 and have pushed them as far as they will go many many times.

Good to know

But still not a fan of stretch

also splain how the tyre can be off the rim, yet still inflatable at the servo?

1/3 the rim came off.

So we took the rim off, jumped on the tyre to put it back into place the inflated it back up

Because fake rims

I run 235s on 9.5 wheels and I'm still alive

Each to their own

But i'd rather spend the $3k saved on LMGT4's on other bits of the car

And pretty sure I'd get stabbed in my sleep if my wife knew I was planning to spend $3.5k on wheels

still not stretched if it's within the reccomended specs of the tyre...

NT05's for example are RECCOMENDED, by Nitto, to be fitted to a 18" x 9.5" in 235/40/18

let enough air out of a tyre and it will come off the bead no matter what the size

That is interesting

Dat Asian honour revenge

123's have similar performance to the KU36. I'd be running them 36-38PSI hot.

Long term, nothing smaller than 255 should even be considered, on all four corners for the track.

Yoki do a 255 and 265 in R18, Hankook do a 255,265 and 275 in R18. Though the Hankooks are generally a 35 profile and make the tyre a lot taller.

18x10 +25F +35R with a 265 fits on my car no worries. However 18x10 +23F 18x10 +33R and a 285 is on the very edge of tyre destruction.

Grip for grip, the Yoki's are more progressive and grippy during lateral slip (around corners on the power), while the Hankook's are good on initially turn into the corner. Have to see what the 2R compound AD08R are like in comparison. Now for Yoki to stop making tyres for S2000, Evo's and 86's and make some decent sizes, like 285 and 295!!!

Yeah trying to source cheap AD08's or Rs3's at the moment

Waiting for a reply from Taleb tyres and will go from there.

Going for a 265/35 tyre size on a 9.5inch rim

Rs3's from tirerack would be $420 a tire incl shipping and duties.

NT05's would be ~$300 from Taleb Im guessing. So alot cheaper :/ But not as good of a tyre obviously

I was chatting about cheffing today at work and I suddenly remembered a guy i used to work with.

this guy was the ORIGINAL hipster...

had full sleeves on both arms, the glasses, the hair, the fashion... all down pat....

i had forgotten about him until today....

worked with him in 2004!

$420 / tyre!!! No way.

OTR if you want AD08's or RTR if you want RS3. Both are under $400 / tyre.

iirc the AD08 is around $385 and the RS3 around $370.

You should, might, kinda be able to get AD08R's in 265 from OTR as well.

    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.  
    • Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.  
    • And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
    • The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
