Heya, im just thinking if i should buy some second hand tyres for my line until i get some rims on it, still running stock alloys, or cheap ass 16's, $109 each. Which will prolly be shit in the wet, and lose traction too easily in the dry still. Got told the second tyres ill be getting are going to be just as bad :( or should i get retreads and not go abovie 110kmph ???

hmmm

Buy some crappy tyres and go driftin'

Then when you want more traction buy some 17" rims, put 235/45R17's on it and because there mostly cheap as chips you can go through them as you please.

Thats my 2 cents

Please don't buy bad tyres for a skyline, in fact if you buy retreads it should be confiscated :(

The best thing you can do for your car's performance is buy decent tyres. Best of all if you have 16" wheels you will save a fortune.

You can get great tyres for about 250-300 check the "which tyres have you used" thread for some options

How long until you to the rim upgrade?

If its real soon there's not much point buying Michelin Pilot Sports, but if its going to be a while I'd rather drive on rubber I can trust than to "save" for some unspecified time and potentially put my car into a kerb / telegraph pole other vehicle / etc.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      Ultimately, if the tip is not far into the runner and the o-ring seals, then you are in business. Have you applied pressure to it as is? It is not really a problem for the injector to twist once it is bolted down, the oring seals it and you don't want it jambed into the oring too hard The plenum is intended to take multiple size lower injectors with different adapters, but the way you have it is fine if they seal.

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)
