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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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.

      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
