DO1Js are circuit tyres.

They *SUCK* bigtime at drags, trust me... I have first hand experience.

It's like trying to use Nitto NT555Rs (with their non-existant sidewall strength) to cut quick laps on the circuit. It just doesn't work.

Yeh Merli, i recall you had traction probs, but they would have to be better then the crappy Falkens i use on the road.

Ill use mine as they help reduce the amount of axle tramp, i already have fears about doing big shifts with little temp in gearbox and diff

so what tyre is all round tyre....if someone has 4 balder tyres than me i give you $5.. :-) all for (work well ran a 12.89) with em.

Less than 5% tread...might sell them on forum as a slick..but there soo dangerous on road at moment...need new ones..What should i get?

For an all round tyre you could use Yokohama A032s. A mates car runs 11.7 on them and they are very good on the circiut. The IPRA cars run them as a control type tyre, but 17,s are the biggest you can get.

For all out Drag use, forget Nitto,s, just get some 15 inch wheels and run M&Hs or Macreary,s. They are a much cheaper alternative.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
