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.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
