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.

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
