I think the norm seems to be 18x10 or 18x10.5 which is plenty of tyre not to get too hot too quick, fit good sized brakes and also allow you to run a suitable ride height without having rubbing/clearance issues.

Dunlop and Bridgestone are my pic of the best semi slicks for track and street, and neither of those offer their semis in 19" You can use Michelin Pilot Sport Cups which come in 19" , 235/35 ZR 19 , 265/30 ZR 19 , 305/30 ZR 19

19inch would not be an ideal size wheel for track use anyway. big and heavy. the fact that hardly anyone makes semi slicks for 19inch wheels is telling you something.

What are some prices for these semi slicks?

I might be going to a track day in may.. Wouldnt mind some semi slicks..

i got 17inch rims.. 235s front, 255s rear..

Also i got toyo t1rs in the front (95% thread), advan ad07s rear (50% thread left)

So i wont be using the advans on the track day. Would it be alright to have just semi slicks on the rear??

Sorry to hi-jack thread.. Just thought i ask since we are on the topic of slicks..

If you have never been out on the circuit before your seriously wasting your time with the whole slicks idea.

Best off going out with decent street tires, getting the feel for cutting the apex and using clean lines before trying to go all out and do quick lap times on slicks.

A set of decent RE55's will cost you roughly 1300-1400 bucks.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
