Hi everyone,

Ive been reading several threads and keep coming across the same problem for alot of different people being wheelspin. Not sure if guys that are new to drag racing are aware of the street radial and the advantages of using them. Im going to do a little experiment next wednesday night with Mona's car.

Compare this weeks sixty foot times on a street tyre to next week on Mickey Thompson Street Radials.

Ill post results on wednesday night. All going well we should be able to organise a group buy for those who are interested. If we oreder 5 or more sets, shold be abel to save $40 a tyre. Usually retail for $290 each.

Ok guys, got some pricing.

235/60/15 $235.00ea

255/50/16 $250.00ea

275/40/17 $275.00ea

This is depending on the amount we buy, im buying one set of each for the shop so we need at least 7 more buyers. these are as cheap as youll find, these tyres retail usually for $270, $290 & $317ea.

Am going to WSID weather permitting on wednesday night so Mona can try a set for a comparison. Will post results, after that ill be ready to order. Can PM me if interested, and will arrange electronic payment.

i can bring tyres to WSID the following week or pick them up from shop.

$250 each for 255/50/16, can only get them this cheap if we get 5 or more buyers.

I am up for a pair of 275/40/17's

If we get enough buyers, ill see what we can get a set for, may not be as cheap as the smaller tyres, but still should be discounted.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
