I have got a set of 18" Rims with Pirelli P Zero Rosso Tyres 265/35/18's or Stock 300zx 16's with Bridgestone potenzas 205/50/16's both tyres are good on both set's of rims just wondering if it's worth putting on the 16's and giving them ago better profile but alot thinner or should i just put some semi slicks on the 16's? Really want to improve my 60ft my car either bogs down off the line or just spins. Anyone have any ideas that might help me get off the line? cheers

it all depends on you. if you want realism run the 18 inch tyres as you would on the street. if your after a 1/4 mile time only run semi slicks. manual or auto?

id like to see you run as i will roughly have the same sort of power.

and good luck at the drags :action-smiley-069:

thinking about going tomorrow night at calder best time so far is 13.5 when i was running about 215rwkw with the best of a 2.45 60ft which is killing me, im really happy with the shifts once i get off the line but my main problem is my launch last time i ran the 18's, but bought the 16's last week and was going to put semis on them but they have brand new bridgestone potenza's g3's on it so i thought i might give them a go. don't know what to do

car is Auto thats what makes it so hard to get off the line but it really starts to pull midtrack last time i got a 108mph and now with a bit more in it and a better launch i'm hoping to see 12's thats been my aim for a while i know the car's got it in it just my takeoff's are shocking.

i'm picking up some RE55's semi slicks tonight getting them off a mate basically brand new i still cant see me getting a good 60ft maybe i might have to get a Hi stall torque converter or something, it seems that if my wheels start to spin and i jump of the brake it just spins and it kills my 60ft but if i stall it till it just wants to break traction it has a little hesitation then goes which still kills my 60ft but it doesnt snap and go which i would like it too. but i found thats the better way to do it just got to sort out the little hesitation.

low 12's would be excellent but don't think there is any chance of that happening unless i put a transbrake and torque converter in, i would love to leave the line with positive boost pressure but i have tried all different launch tecniques but like i said either to much wheel spin or it bogs down, Fark i love auto's but i hate them at the same time.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
