Walk out to car to find right rear AD08R nearly flat

Either fast leak or dodgy neighborhood fkin with my property again

Lose lose for Birds

one of my AD08R's deflated unnaturally quickly. other 3 were fine. was in a backyard, so no one had touched the car.

That's some Greg shit right there

Did it do it again or a one off?

Fitting AD08's to my car right now

Got told the fronts (Michelin Pilot sport 3's) are a horrible match and almost certainly will result in me binning the car

Greg issues occurring before even using them now

Widths of Front vs Rear?

I wouldn't say the tyre itself is a horrible match... your fronts aren't hardly 215 Chinese tyres... Unless the tyre place thinks you're going to be tracking it... in which case I'd be recommending AD08R's on the front as well or the rears will just push you off the track in a greg level understeer.

Coming from 245/275 Nitto NT05's

235/265 now

Pilot Sport 3 fronts, AD08 rears.

Did say I may track it, but he was more concerned i'd bin it driving in normal traffic or highway cruising.

All tyres involved were a great deal, etc.

Figured it'd be fine, if anything the PS3's should be more grippy than the AD08's, hence them being on the front of the car.

But yeah. Slip angles apparently very different, told to take EXTREME caution, and I'd notice it within 5kms of driving the car if its gonna be a problem.

I have AD08R 265 on the rear and AD08 255 on the front

It doesn't understeer really, in spite of the fronts being a street version of the rear semis

Actually is quite balanced feeling

I also postulate that the rears will wear down faster and return to a slight oversteer

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
