Hey people. I have posted this question in another thread but

need more input please. I have read through the thread on

tyres how would you rate them and there are so may different

opinions. I am currently running Hankook Ventus 225/50/16

and i must say they are rubbish (also i know they are cheap).

With 192RWKW is it possible to get a street legal tyre that

will grip with no or very little wheel spin. I am sick of ringing

tyre places just to have every single one saying different things.

Im happy to spend the $$$. I just want to make the right choice

the first time without wasting money on crap. :)

Also thanks to benm for his input in another thread.

What situation are you talking about? Traction on the race track or drag strip?

Race track, Bridgestone RE55's are a great option and stick like glue once up to temp. Me and my dad cut 4sec a lap from our time around Wakefeild race track with these tyres alone.

Drag strip, Nitto Drag Extremes are the best street tyre for the strip IMO, as close to a slick as possible while still being a street legal tyre.

Once you get some decent power your going to need some seriously good rubber. I run Toyo RA1's which is an R compound tyre in the same league as RE55's. I run them full time on the street and the grip is superb. With street tyres i had traction problems in 2nd gear coming under boost and dont even think about 1st gear, waist of time. With the RA1's, i get traction in first gear on the street. Your no longer scared of 4wds at the lights.

If you want to try a pair there is a guy that sells Yoki's R series compounds that come off the Brute utes. He flogs them off for about $100 each half worn, might give you a feel of them.

in terms of good tyres that will cop what you throw at them.

federal ss595. cheap and good.

good for mid nines on a gtr :D

having generic "tein" s wont help. the more power you got the more time you are gonna have to spend setting up the rear end.

ie. subrame pinaples etc andeling the diff for more squat etc

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
