Barring wet/greasy conditions, i'm running falken's - the only time i loose grip is near max leaving 1/2, and then 3rd, 4th when it's a tad wet. - although the tires will need changing soon, but they've not been ripped at all.

I'm a pretty new 'line driver, and getting used to the Rwd has been a bitch after many years of BM's and Saab's. (Esp 90Deg Corners under power!)

I have no idea of my output - '96 St, T04, Mines, Pod, High Flow Cat, Adjustable Front Shocks, stock rears - etc, etc...

I'll see if I can get it hosted tomorrow at work - if I can find it. If Martin (Donnon) is reading this he should remember that pass - he's leaning against the wall in the vid :D

Edit: I found the vid. It's very dark, so I'll see if I can lighten it up a touch at work tomorrow. It doesn't look all that scary in the video to be honest - just a little wobble and that's about it.

It is sooo true that size isn't EVERYTHING when it comes to traction. I had Falken Azenis 255/40/17's on my R32 with 217rwkw and it spun like crazy from 1st through to 3rd. If you took off normally, then hammered the throttle in second the tail would end up sideways like crazy. DECENT tyres go a long way, as aforemetnioned. Suspension & alignment setup is crucial, I think Sydneykid posted up what his ideal settings were for 200 plus rwkw cars...have it saved somewhere...will try to find the info and post it up.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
