lol cool problem to have

assuming you don't take it out on wet days or drive it daily I would be putting a semi slick on the car like federal fz201, kumho v70a, toyo 888 etc

also, you can fit much wider that gtr standard rims on the back of a 33 gtst, so find a larger set of wheels too. You should be able to get 10"/275 wide tyres on the back in the right offset

well in Oz I understand there are no rules on tyre width for a rim, instead we rely on manufacturer deciding what is safe. so you will need to check for a given tyre to be sure. In general I would expect 245 is the widest you can run on an 8.5" rim

there is a full semi slick thread elsewhere, I mentioned those 2 because they are the cheap ones, between 300 and 400 a tyre. the best ones Dunlop DZ03G, Yokohama A050 or the Hankook whateveritis would be 500+ each.

But the grip will be chalk and cheese compared to road tyres

I switched to running nothing but comp tyres on my 33 GTS over 10yrs ago - started with RE540S, then NT555R, MT ET Street 1, R888, ET Street 2 and now A050. Obviously the drag radials are only used on the rear, with circuit tyres on the front.

In my decade of experience, I've found drag radials provide less grip on the street as they need more heat than a circuit tyre to produce their best. Unless you're prepared to do a burnout every 2nd or 3rd intersection you're better off sticking with a circuit based tyre for a 'monthly driver' (weekend/project car).

Perhaps not a daily driver but I know someone that drives to work on ET Streets and has done over a period of years, in fact come to think of it I know a guy who's other half used to take the kids from A-B on them (with 450kW at the rears).

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Butters · Posted

      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 .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Degzy · Posted

      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?

      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.
