Hi All,

What compound Re55s have you used? I am about to order a set for the GTR to hopefully last the QR Timeattack season. I assume Hard is the go? ANy experiences with different compounds would be great to hear?

Any help appreciated.

Michael

TT = Medium Soft

WT = Soft

SR = Hard

try for SR2 if you can. though I've hardly ever seen them here. :) otherwise SR is fine.

good to see you back in a GTR big boy. now get down here, it's only been about 5 years since I've seen your pretty face!

lol

i havent been able to find cheaper re55s in brisbane than amec either.

i didn't say I had never seen them. I said I hardly ever see them. haven't bought a new set of tyres for a while now, but for a long time after SR2 was available OS they were still selling SR here. I guess things have changed now which is good, but I mentioned is as no one else did. :)

why is there a huge difference between prices within the same rim size?

16 inch tyres

205/55/R16 $329

205/50/R16 $400.50

225/50/R16 $280

225/45/R16 $400

especially the last 2? typo?

Some are used as a control tyre in certain race catagories and hence the volumes sold are high - which consequently brings prices down. I know all the EVO guys were gutted because Bridgestone recently lost the rights to one of these control tyres so their prices all got jacked up heaps.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
