Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

dont go too cheap, Stick with Nankang, Wanli, Hiro, etc.

Surely you jest :P

Wanli and Hiro are some of the shittest out there. A good tyre I've found that grips surprisingly well for its price is the Firestone 'Wide Oval'. Nice grippy compound, yet still seem to wear quite well.

i havent had much trouble with my Wanli's, they just are a harder compound therefore last longer, but im saying if u go cheap, Wanlis and Hero (which Madaz is running) are probably the lowest you should go. Hero's are made by Federal, so they cant be that bad.

Lowest you should ge being the lowest of the lot? :P

I've had various types of Wanlis, and they're all crap. The good thing is (like you said) they last ages. I had a pair of rears on the 100 last for 3 drift days and about 5000 road kays. They had absolutely no grip, but you can't argue with that tyre life :(

Maxxis tend to be a lot better tyre for a marginal price increase over Wanlis, and for a little bit more, the Wide Ovals are better again. I'd never run Wanlis or any of the cheap lesser brand tyres on the front, thats asking for trouble. Rears are a moot point in my case, but you gotta run with good fronts.

lol Damo............no accounting for taste bud.........Demi Moore @ 50 leaves her for dead

Lady Gaga is a lady hoho

:(

Wearing just underwear detracts eyes from her ugly looks. I think she needs to lose about 5kg too and tone up that lardy body. How come you find that attractive Damo? Your woman is 100x better looking dude. :P

^ so you know what we have to put with then?

Boof: It's not always about traction though. Steering and braking aren't much fun when you haven't got any grip.

And +1 Kralster, well said.

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them

      There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By Piggaz · Posted

      There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?

      Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
