nice.

have you tried the Hankook Ventus K104 's before? they are pretty grippy, and not $550 each!!

ALL other brands apart from bridgestone and yokohama are SHITE pirelli sux,michelin sux, hankook sux,toyo sux, khumo sux

you only get what you pay for.

when you have 300rwkw RUBBER AINT RUBBER

yeah man, I know - I now see you look at your car like I do at my bike

totally understand and good on ya!

enjoy :P

Well thats a bit shallow other companies do make good tyres. As i beleieve michelin make pretty good f1 tyres. And i'm a huge fan of there motorbike tyres. I like the feel of them and there roll.

Where as my dad likes bridgestone alot.

may i introduce u "R" compound tyre?

s-03<RE-01<RE55s

Those really are the shizzle! We have had a few of our customers change from Michelin Pilot Sport Cups to RE55S's. Cheaper, longer lasting, and better grip on the track :mad:

This one customer bought 12 sets of Michelin's. He paid up front, was pissed because he got charged delivery, fitted a trial set of RE's to see how they compared with the Michelin's, and then had the dilemma of trying to get rid of the Michelin's because he loved the RE's so much! :P

How do the Nitto's hold up?

I believe Whatsisname is still running a set, I remember 555 something on the sidewall.

Last I saw that was able to get a lot of first gear down, what looked like all of second and making close to 300rwkw.

I had brigdestone potenza's on my gtr which has just shy of 300 rwk's and got less than 5,000km out of them. Now at $350 a trye, I thought they were s__t. :D

Now a mate at Affordable Wheels and Tyres told me to try the Hankook K102 tyres . They stick better in all weather and last 3 to 4 times longer. Now at $145 a tyre you tell me Price matters

By the way my tyre size is 225 50R16 92V

Thats my thought's anyway :ermm:

I have another on the cards..

A set of Federal SS595, apparently one of the better ones.

I believe Sky30 has tried a whole range of tyres on his rb30det 300rwkw rwd thing. These apparently came out on top for grip and were suprisingly cheap.

As cubes said, i have tried a few brands of tyres with my 300rwkw rb30det including Hankook, Toyo, perelli, and found the Federals to definately give the best grip, and last just as long as the others.

You only have to look at Theo Woollett's GTR that runs

9 second 1/4 miles on a set of Federals.

(And they are cheap at $160 for 225/45/17")

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
