what so good about them???

As mentioned it's replacing the S03 & supposedly was tested at Mallalla against the S03 & had better lap times.

Bridgestone seem to be very confident with it's performance as they've spent $$$$ on marketing.

I was quite impressed with the Adrenalins & will definitely be getting a set once I go through my T1-Rs.

I had G3's on my old VR V8 cop car.

ok tyres, but really, for the cash, they were crap.... crap i say. wife lost it a cple of times. just didnt have the grip youd expect them to have, on a slippery surface.

best priced and performing tyres Ive ever used on a car are my current fare; Hankook Ventus K104 awesome tyre, $190 ea for 17x 235

I dont see how you can lose traction with these tyres on the street - if you do then you're doing something wrong. ie coming too hot into a corner, or perhaps braking thru the corner (big no-no; always end your braking B4 you hook into the crnr)

mind you, i do have AWD and a few extra hundred kgs in the stagea so maybe that makes a difference to a RWD skyline, in the way that they handle..... but this set should last 4yrs (35,000kms). top value. id argue that with anyone.

best bike tyres Ive had were Michelin Pilot's, top of the range goodness :) $290 for rear and $230 for front. worst tyre was Michelin sports, long range tyre not made for kneedown cornering. meant to last 12000kms, I ripped mine up in 5000 lol.

michelins hot spot is in the high temperatures tho isnt it, whereas bridgestone is better known as an all rounder and wet control tyre.

Id take pirellis over both tho. but I am going to go with these andrenalines ive decided.

I had GIIIs on the R34 and they were absolutely brilliant. Only problem was when I went to replace them the rear 255s were going to cost $450 each!

Went for Michelin Pilots and they have been awesome, but as usual I only got just over 10,000km from them.

Might try these out next.

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
