Car is a street-registered 180b datsun. Aim is for fastest 1/4 possible on street tyres. Car has fj20 with about 400rwhp with another engine getting built for more power.

I have modified the read end so it sits at 0 degrees camber with 9inch rims at the back which has currently 255s. They are 17 40s.

(1) Should have I just run a 13 inch rim with a 225 street drag tyre with high profile??? High profile seems to make straigth line performance great.

(2) If I keep these 9inch rims and go to a MT street drag radial tyre which is what I want to do, do i keep the 255 or should I move onto 275?

Any other info appreciated without input about suspension as thats another story.

Cheers

Thats what I thought doug,

I really want to get this sorted before i get this car back onto the road and head for the strip.

Any suggestions into tyre sizes please, rim size and what tyre (street-legal)

Thanks

I WOULD BE GOING FOR A SMALLER RIM WITH

A TALLER TYRE MATE, SO THE TYRE CAN MOVE A BIT

AND HELP PUT THE POWER DOWN. LOW PROFILE TYRES

WILL GIVE LESS GRIP BECAUSE THE TYRE IS TOO STIFF

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
