220-240kw R33 gtr, daily driver.

On the same car with 266kw of power I found the standard 595's too hard and slippery in the wet. The 595 RS-R's were actually far grippier in dry or wet even when cold and lasted for a good length of time.

595 if you have no money, 595 RS-R for safer driving (they are not real semi slicks).

But hey upgrading from the base 595's to the RS-R's shows you a huge difference.

Pirelli p7s are abit soft in the sidewall for my liking. Falkens have good grip, performance and cost effective.

Fk452 = best wet tyre ever, abit noisey like 595, directional, new fk453 out now to replace it.

Ze912 = good allround asymmetric tyre

Or for more coin go the Bridgestone potenza range re001, re002, s001. Very rigid tyre an very quiet.

I believe I'm running RE-001 and they're quite decent in both wet and dry. Can't really comment on their ability to hold traction under power in the dry any more since I think they dried out a bit too much in the months my car didn't move and was outside :(

I had the same RE001s before Troy bought them and I always liked them - they did me well for around 350-400kw atw and I did some pretty hard launching on them too.

Only sold cause I needed bigger wheels to clear my brakes. I went OTT and got semi slicks... Super impractical but f**king fun!

Or go to ntw talk to mick and then take your car/wheels round the corner to jax fyshwick where mick takes his cars ;) haha

Also I got 235/40R18 stretched onto my 9.5"s (widest legally permissible for a 235/40), tyres cheap as and it's the look I'm after.

do you have a picture of the stretched tyre?

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
