Mate if your new set of 255/40 x17 aint soft compound race or drag spec then try mine or Mayhem choices.

Sorry i should of been more clear in my other post the new tyres i got are RE540's i got them because the guy at the tyre shop said they would grip alot better at the plex than a normal street tyre the only problem he could see with them is the stiff side wall.So is the tyre man right will they grip better than a street tyre at the plex

Na , I'm pulling your chain but if you do want to sell them pm me.

I can tell you that when there hot , I need and extra 1000 rpm or so to launch because they will bog the car off the line with the increased grip.

That should give an indication that they must be doing something.

Cheers

Just a quick burnout should do

They are a soft compound and I only have to drive for a short distance on them to hear the stones being picked up by the rubber.

Cheers

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
