Thanks Chris32.

I have a set of 17x7's with 235/45 SO3's on at home, more than welcome if you want to come up and put them on and go for a drive to see what you think

They are have about 65% rubber left on them, and have a bit of cmaber wear etc, but they would give you a good judge on how they handle etc

Better than spending $500+ dollars and finding out they are not what you like etc

I might have to take you up on that:) what sort of pressure did you run in the Azenis? I just did some searching and read ( a couple of times) that you need to run the right pressure or the girp is not so spectacular?

Also, do the S03s have stiff sidewalls? I want these to be pretty firm, to try and counter the understeer I have at the moment?

If the Azenis a really crap i could always put them on the back and kill them:)

I tried a lot of pressures in the Azenis, they seemed to work best at around 30-32psi. Anymore and they would tend to get a bit skatey under brakes. Grip was pretty good, but on the road they didn't have chance to get decent temperature into them, on the track once they were hot, they gripped well. One thing I didn't mention is that they were extremley noisy due to the tread pattern

The SO3's have a really stiff sidewalls, probably the stiffest that I have seen other than RE540/RE55S when they where of the rim. Both Freebaggin and myslelf had a good look at this when we were looking for tyres, and they have really strong sidewalls. I think that is why they were a good match for the RE55S's on the back

Let me know if you want to give mine a try, at least you will be able to compare them with what you have now

Well, I just found some RE55S in the new hard(er) compound - 235/45/17, $351 fitted, so it looks like I will go with those.  I'm excited:D

thanks for your help Chris.

Awesome!, thats a heaps good price Steve, can I ask where you are getting them from? might get another set for the back of mine :( Apparently there was some type of replacemnt deal going on with the first series of RE55S due to the wrong compound, might see if they will swap mine

Make sure they are hard compound, and you'll be laughing

Bye Bye understeer :(

Magill Bridgestone -  8332 0800, ask for Kim.  Only dealer in Adelaide (so I was told).

First thing he said when I asked if he sold them was 'we have them in stock and they are the new hard compound':)

Cool, will give him a call

Cheers, Chris

Good to hear you got them Steve

Make sure they are nice and warm before you give them a bit, otherwise they might carve up a little bit if the rubber isn't up to temp

Would be similar to the rears you have - when you hear the rocks/sticks/loose road flicking up all over your car, they are up to tmep :D

Enjoy them, I have contacted Bridgetsone to see if they will offer any sort of replacemet and or huge discount as they sold me the really soft ones - will wait and see what comes of it

excuse my laziness, but what's the difference between the trampio tpg's and the r1r's ?

i've had my r1r's for 16,000km's and they are only just starting to get a little worn now. eg. i notice more wheel spin in 1st gear for instance. i have had 2 trackdays in them.

they come highly recommended. i had them fitted and balanced at an average of $300 a corner. im running 255x35 and 235x45.

id like to compare them to the azenis, however i think the azenis might be more of an rspec tyre than the r1r's....hence more grip, less wear....

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
