Has anyone tried the new nitto radials??? I was going to use a mickey thompson 255/50/16 but id rather use something smaller like a 235 or 245/45

If anyone knows of a good branded radial that can cop load it'd be great..

If anyone knows who sells them it'd also be great.

cheers

I can vouch for the Hoosiers as well as being a good choice. They were cheaper than the MT's @ the time i was buying.

On an airport surface I could still manage a 1.5 60ft with them @ 30psi in the 275/17

I dropped the pressure to 20psi and next run broke a diff so i can't comment on the 60ft there but it certainly hooked up hard haha :)

yea ill be running them at all 4... il see where to get those hoosiers from cause i think the MT's are a little taller and they will go real close to my dry sump near the wheel arch...

Ive got a 4WD TH400 so i dont think ill break a diff... if i can get out of the hole with a 1.3 60ft il be wrapped.. need to hit half track at over 140mph and come home

Na, getting it caged now and I spun a bearing when I tried to turn it up to 60 pounds so I gotta get Anthony to do rings and bearings and have another go at it.. Poor engine did over 8000km on over 1000 at the treads.... Was due to break something.... I was lucky it didn't throw rods!!!

I'm just saving slowly to get this shit done so I'm in no real hurry to get it on the track cause every day out at the track is a couple of grand.

      Wheel refurb?

      By PranK · Posted

      Yeah this confirms what I was thinking. Volks are worth a crap load more than my M Sport 17s and 2500 is nuts!  240 is crazy cheap, was this 20 years ago? I have a fairly good air compressor so I'm tempted to get an eBay sand blaster.

      Wheel refurb?

      By dyl33 · Posted

      I got a quote to restore a set of Volk racing gtc wheels at a wheel restoration shop which involved repainting the centres fixing some small gutter rash and repolishing them and the quote was $2.5k I ended up getting them sandblasted and powdercoated for $240

      Wheel refurb?

      By PranK · Posted

      Has anybody had their wheels refurbished? I reckon it's likely bloody expensive. Even a sand blasting quote for my 17s was 200-300 per wheel! The E39 wheels are basic BMW M Sport (or M Tech at the time.) they have slight rash and some have signs of bad repair in the past on the lips. The main issue is that they've become really off coloured.  I think it will be too much as this is definitely (supposed to be) a budget resto. I've been looking at others for sale but they all have some minor damage and colour issues.  In the end I think I'll just need to sand blast them myself and do a respray.

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Trying to figure out which nismo cluster i have. All the ones i see on the internet, the speedo goes up to 320kph and the revs 11k, with the nismo logo being on the rev gauge only. But on my one, the speedo goes up to 300 and says nismo, while the revs only go upto 10k and no nismo logo Dunno how to embed pics into a post so ill attach pic of my cluster and generic google search for reference Is what i have genuine?
