I need to fit a set for a r32 gtr.

i was looking at going with a set et streets radials but then it struck me, i am going to need the traction if i wish to run 8's.

mt drags only come in 15 and smaller so new rims are a must, anyone car to comment on width/size and backspacing that will clear gtr std brakes.

next what size slick is optimal without having to start modifying fenders more then just rolling.

thanks :O

You do know that quite a few cars have run 8's on drag radials? More grip will just add to the driveline stresses in a (4WD) drag car. 255/50/16 drag radials on the standard R32 GTR wheels are an unbeatable combination.

i dont agree with this statement.

drag radials are much harder on driveline components than slicks. due to the limited side wall flex.

driving on slicks are like driving on two big cushions. the extra side wall flexing takes a lot of stress off the drive line.

this is evident with the amount of guys breaking drivelines in their supra's in the states on radials when guys on slicks arent breaking those same components.

last meeting if smashed my planetary gears in my transmission when changing into second gear. the change from first to second is far less harsh with the slicks on than the radials.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
