In-car video showing the 34 boosting hard on full boost or its not true? Nah man but Im sure we would all love to see

When I get the boost controller sorted and I can

Find an appropriate "private road" or track :yes:

At the moment I haven't kept the throttle down long enough to enjoy, once it starts getting loose in 3rd I back off... Need better rubber for sure

ku36 tyres arent that bad, what width are they on the rear?

265.... Either KU36, RS-Rs or Achillies 123s.... Just cheapies as they won't last long anyway :D

don't waste your $$$ on KU36

they are pretty decent for what they are but kuhmo have increased their price in the last 12 months and you can get Nittio NT05's or Federal RSR for less.

imho for a street car go with the Nitto's or if you can stretch the wallet grab some advan AD08's

I usually run the NT05's all round and with my suspension setup they give me effortless traction in 2nd right up to about 310rwkw (e85 on 16psi) - beyond that i need to think about what i'm doing

+1 for AD08's, great tyre. Once they get the heat into them they are awesome

I'm using 265/35R18 RS-R's on the back and they only just manage to grip 2nd with 280rwkw and a toight like a toiga diff (shimmed).

Have you tried them out at Barbs dude? I found my KU36's are ok on the street, but they really come alive when you get some heat into them on the track.

Thanks mate... Will hopefully get it sorted before Texi...

360kw was the highest run... It was run @ 357kw on the final tune for safety... The reason for the different power figures is the 3 boost levels and also the % of ethanol.... My power ranges from 311kw to 357kw depending in boost and E content :)

Hope that makes sense?

Do you have a dyno sheet, or did I miss it ?

Don't KU36s last longer than RSR though? I know RSR is a more grippy tyre but they really don't last.

The KU36's have a treadwear of 180, the RSR's are 140. So not a huge difference. I know my KU36's lasted about 1 track day and maybe 8000km's, so they don't last either.

What type of driving would that be, around a track ?

would they last longer with normal street driving and occasional short blasts?

I drove it hard at the track and spun out on a couple of occasions, so I have no doubt that took off a fair chunk of life. But I only got in 10, maybe 12 laps. On the street I drive pretty sedately with the odd 1st, 2nd, 3rd bursts. So they don't last very long, but no doubt without the track abuse they would last longer.

I think you'll find that if you don't destroy the compound on the tyres by tracking them hard, doing skids, etc. etc. then they would last a fair bit longer. But I'd be surprised if you got more than 15-20k km's out of them.

I have KU 36 on the front, but they sat for 2 years so maybe hard now? They gripped real well compared to other tyres.... Was happy with them. I have some shit sumitomo or something on the rear hence why I have no grip....

Rolls - sorry mate, I have 4 dyno sheets, just haven't had time to scan them.... I have 98 sheet, gate pressure E85 vs 98, low boost E85 vs 98 and then just high boost on E85.... Will get them

In here and in the RB 25 thread soon.... Sorry over been slack :)

Oh dont be soft mate thats when it just starts getting fun when ya doing 130km/h in 3rd and the rears start breaking loose :nyaanyaa: (even though they are only nankangs) lol Looking forward to checking your setup out at texi next weekend dude sounds like a sweet setup :banana: Hoping my big brakes are gunna be on my car by then too and possibly some semis lol

Haha come say g'day and have a look :) plumb back and low boost will be like light beer through a straw.... But, what can you do :(

For sure dude I might have to wind down the boost too im a track/witches hat amatuer so see how i go lol :whistling:

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
