awesome...

interesting because i dont know about drags, they say over the speaker that slicks arent great for drags

i would have thought in the dry theyd be great, provided they were warmed up by the obligatory burnout first....

anyone got an answer?

I think he means they arn't good handling wise and as predictable as street tyres are. When the rear gets out of shape they bite back hard and can sling shot the car into the wall once they get traction again because of the big sidewall, low pressure and soft compound.

Correct Josh.....a drag slick is a totally different animal to a circuit slick.

Unlike a circuit slick which can be eased out of traction loss, unfortunately there's no such thing for a drag slick, it's either on or off, no in betweens.

Drag slicks have much softer compound, much taller side walls and can grow up to 50% rolling diameter at full noise...........hence why final ratios differ so much from start to finish on a single run

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
