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.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
