I noticed someone mentioned Nitto's earlier in this thread. I'm assuming they ment NT555R's? Nitto make a range of different tyres not just street legal drag tyres. Unfortunately the Nitto NT555R Extreme Drag don't come in 235/45/17 or 255/40/17 :)

They do make a 275/40/17 though. I'll be going for these on my next rear rubber change :D If they fit!?

Nitto claims 15,000 miles from an NT555R. That's life to legal tread depth in NORMAL road use! I'd say 8,000-10,000kms max in spirited road use & occassional drag use.

Read here - http://www.nittotire.com/tire_nt555r_overview.asp

They look pretty cool :Ptires_nt555r.jpg

Oh yeah, forgot to add - I've compared my RE540S's to NT555R's. The tread compound is the same (very soft) it's the sidewall that makes the difference.

540 - stiff as buggery for circuit use (like the Nitto 555RII)

555R - soft as buggery for drag use.

What are peoples thoughts on the Dunlop FM901's ?

My Falken ZE502's are starting to wear and i'll need new tyres sometime in the next few months (or -want- them for the drags). The Dunlop FM901's everyone seems to say are a decent tyre.

Are their any tyres that really do stand out for "spirited driving" that aren't semi-slicks and cost under $300 a tyre?

So far I have quotes of $264ea fitted from Bob Jane T-Marts or $239 + Fitting from Beaurepairs. (is that expensive? I haven't -really- started to look that seriously yet).

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
