This group buy starts immediately and will conclude on the 1st of January OR when 10 pairs (20 in total) are paid for, whichever is the sooner. We need to have orders and payment for 20 individual tyres in total for the price to stand.

The product on offer is pairs of Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials (Drag Radials) in either 275/40/17" OR 255/50/16". We can have any combination of these sizes to comprise the order. The 275/40/17" sized tyres are known by Mickey Thompson as "blemished" stock. I have personally inspected the stock on hand of these tyres and they are incredibly hard to pick why they are listed as blemished. These tyres are cosmetically different (although usually un-noticable unless you're inches from the tyre) but are still 100% stucturally guaranteed. The 155/50/16" size are normal stock.

The prices we will be getting for these tyres are as follows:

255/50/16" - $245.00ea - (MSRP is $283.00ea)

275/40/17" - $225.00ea - (MSRP is $311.00ea)

The company that is supplying the products for the group buy is Rocket Industries

The products can be collected from Wollongong/WSID by prior arrangement or may be shipped road freight at buyer's expense.

Associated costs for delivery will vary depending on your location.

These tyres can and will typically drop tenths, sometimes quite a few of them off of your quarter mile ET. They're usable on the street so driving to and from a race meeting on them isn't a problem. I drive 107km to the track on them, let some air out of them, race, then put some air back in and drive 107km home!

Cheers,

Adrian

The 17's are very very good. They are MUCH better than Nitto NT555R's and I ran 1.68 60' times on those tyres. These are better again.

The group buy end date is in the first post. Quite a while between now and then.

    • You're already well into "gearbox is a consumable" territory there. A billet plate will either make it (effectively) 1% stronbger or make it last one more pass. At some point you'll probably tear 3rd gear into small chunks and regret all the life decisions that came before it.
    • ..and forum.r31skylineclub has been down all week....anyone know why?
    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
