just a tip, probably would have been better to get some opinions BEFORE you bought your tyres.

Hey mate

Firstly, this is in the wrong section, the tyre thread in Suspension, braking and tyres is the place for these questions.

I have had a set of these tyres, they are very average tyres for wet and dry use. They are ok for street use, nice and quiet and last ok but are not really a performance tyre, so you can use them at the track but they wont be any good, and you will probably destroy them very quickly.

ok cool stuff, is it just this grade of Toyo tires that suck? are there better versions of toyos that are really good? Let me know cos ive heard alot of good things about Toyo's.

we use and recommend Bridgestone RE55 tyres for serious circuit machines. lots of grip and durability, a set of these usually last about 10 months or about 160 laps.

They dont suck, they perform as they should for their intended purpose and price.. if you want a performance tyre, then they are the wrong ones....

There are good toyos but they cost more and have different compromises... T1Rs are a good performance street tyre and toyo make R compound tyres for track use too.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
