hey guys,

I'm hoping to find a good tire and diff combo for 130+mph trap speeds in a r32 gtr with a standard transmission. I plan to rev to 8500rpm and hopefully make peak power at 8000rpm. with a 255/50/16 (26" tall) mickey thompson et street radial, i calculate123mph @ 8500rpm in 3rd, or 130 @ 6900 in 4th.

so....

Strategy A:

-stock gears (4.111)

-taller tire (295/50/16)

this gives me 131mph @8500rpm in 3rd

Strategy B:

-gts-4 gears (4.375)

-shorter tire (275/50/15)

this gives me 130mph at 7400rpm in 4th, or 141 at 8000.

do 15s fit over stock rear brakes?

Stock GTR wheels, 255/50/16in drag radials, shift into fourth. Changing diff gears and tyres just to optimise a street car for a particular rpm through the traps is silly. Leave it as is and give it death.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/

      Fixing exhaust position?

      The only way to make that better is to weld on some bozozoku tips up past window height and roll with the cool kids.

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
