and for something relating back to tyres now...

My tyres are simex 235's also [on my 34] and I have no complaints whatsoever regarding traction...

A friend had Grid II's and lost it in the wet with his r33...

If you must spend heaps of cash then ask the right questions to a tyre dealer. You dont want to spend all that money to find out you didnt get what you wanted - which in this case is clearly "traction in the wet".

Good point.

I would recommend you (well anyone looking at new tyres/wheels) go to Mag Wheel & Tyre on Chiffley Drv in Preston. The guy there will give you a no bullshit, straight up answer to your questions. I went in asking for S02 Bridgestones (255/45/18 @ $600 each) and he told me the Hankook 104s match them in every aspect for $330 each (265/40/18). I dont think he's gonna rip you off.

mm... terrance you whore.

anyway.

i mgot simex 215's on mine...

In the wet my ass steps out VERY easily and i loose traction on take off almost all the time.

That's due to my clutch though.

In the dry. Can't beat them. for 215's (i need 225/245's really) they do a decent job considering i've got some reasonable power. And i've smoked up a few times and drive hard... and the tyres look like new still so they've got a long life it seems

I've had yokohama's on another car and they were good also, very good in the wet but VERY soft and therefore don't last as long as other brands.

they were 539's i think?

Let me know what you decide Daz, as I am thinking of getting tyres too. Tonight i was going 100km along the freeway, when i changed to 3rd and floored it. The wheels slipped and traction control came on and the power just died.

My suspension is brand new so i think it is my tyres but that's almost brand new. Is there anyway my car is boosted without me knowing??? hmmm... as i can never get traction (silly question)

Oh yeah, and i got smoked:P

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
