Have been off the forum and had no time for the car for a while.

Am keen to hit the track again soon but my R888's are dead.

I am looking for some new semi slicks, so who’s got the hot deals at the moment?

Last time I got them at Taleb tyres for a bargain but they have no parallel imports at the moment.

If I can't get another bargain I will probably go for Falken Azenis 615 as the price seems reasonable at about $250 for 225/50/16.

Any suggestions?

Hey buddy, if you're interested i have 1 pair of Yokohama A038 semis left in stock in a 225/45/16, I've heard these are harder than the R888's however I've had no experience with these tyres so i cant say for sure.

Let me know asap if you're interested. :D

Raul, forget the R888s.

Everyone knows the Ultimate Nankang Challenge is now what all the cool kids are doing. :thumbsup:

lol.

What, all 5 of us?

If you were after 235/45-17's then amec or gordon leven tyres seem to be line ball in the low 300's for new RE55's.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You're already well into "gearbox is a consumable" territory there. A billet plate will either make it (effectively) 1% stronbger or make it last one more pass. At some point you'll probably tear 3rd gear into small chunks and regret all the life decisions that came before it.

      I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.

      GTX2867R GEN 2 NO OUTPUT FOR BOOST SOLENOID

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.

      Nissan Skyline R34(ER34) Front Suspension Noise

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
