what for?

The street or to race at the track?

You dont need semi slicks, you just need to spend good money and get good tyres.

I had 243 rwkw in my R33 and ran 12.5 on 18 inch 265 Potenza 8000e. 1.8 Second 60 ft. Thats what most GTRs get with 4WD.

So many idiotic mates of mine always go and get slicks or semis, and there times are really average.

On the strip, If you have less than 300 rwkw in a skyline and need slicks, you just dont know how to drive

best time was 13.3@105mph 1.9sec 60 footer on some runs.

starionturbo: the car has run 13.1@105 with 205/55/R16s baught second hand just to pass rwc. I dont need street tyres, i can run flat out slicks or mt radials.

2rismo: delivered to melb? how much per tyre roughly mate?

glad someone said it :)

not having a go at LTHLRB...not at all. 205rwkw with no ECU or piggyback is a mad effort...but all these people using slicks to break the 12 sec barrier...I was always under the impression that slicks were when you were getting down to 11's and 10's....

Personally I think that if you are drag racing, you should run semi's or full slicks. It's what the pro's do, and it shows the full potential in a time and MPH of your car's power.

Agreed. I was there on friday night at I ran a 13.43 with about 200-210 rwkw and my suspension setup is for drift/track. It's very stiff. I used semi slicks because I had them. Definitely helped. I'm no drag racer, just wanted to have some fun. Why not get some slicks. Easier than swapping or adjusting suspension...

my suspension is stiff as anything, its more drift/track aswell. But i dont want to go making my ass end any softer because it will be shit for road. The car is making the power yes, thanks Dez for the compliments, thats about the most power i can get now is 209.5kw untill i get my pfc. But i haveto resort to slicks or semi slicks to get me into the 12s with a completely std ecu/injectors/turbo.

If you're making over 200rwkw you DO NOT NEED semis/slicks/drag radials/whatever you want to call them. What you need is practice.

12.799 @ 107mph on Falken ZE326 buckets of crap with only 190kW.

got a quote on mt semi slicks, for the normal ones 255 x 16 its 280 or so and the others (discoloured) are 240, they had to use more powder to break it out of the mould, and the tyre is completely white PIMP STYLE. Does anyone know if that will effect the performance of the tyre?

It will absolutely NOT affect the performance of the tyre. The factory seconds stock from Rocket is 100% guaranteed and warranted against defect (other than cosmetic, obviously).

Yes I'm going auto.

LTHLRB, I still reckon you should call Stuart @ Bezerkly Automotive and ask for a price - 02 42261888

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
