Superior to what?

I'm a big fan of the Falken RT615s. Reasonable price, very streetable, and amazing amounts of grip. I know a couple of Federal 595RS drivers who say the same thing about those tyres.

You can now get Bridgestone Potenza RE-01Rs (standard fitment on the R34 Z-Tune if you didn't tick the R-Comp option) from Australian suppliers, and they're widely acknowledged as some of the best S-Comp tyres available.

But these are more cornering, rather than drag, radials so the sidewalls may be a lot stiffer than what you want.

yeh i know of the falken and the potenzas, but if you put em up against a drag radial they seem like absolute shit.

i just want something that will give me alot of traction, being close to 400rwkw i need it badly.

The tyres you seek are mickey thompson et street radials. They are effectively a drag slick with a slightly stiffer sidewall. I drive to the track and back on mine but take them off again for general driving. With the sidewall softer than conventional high performance tyres the car rolls around a bit on them. Great for straight line work tho.

my mate, has a set of mickey's on the rear end of his Vy that hes taking to the Calder Naitonals on the 30th...hes used em on the road before...and by jesus...those things grip, hes pushing roughly 550BHP out of his stock lookin Vy and whenever anyone even Gtr's alike come for a run against him on the street they get blow away by the tremendous traction he can pull with those suckers!

P.s. If theres a slight once of rain on the ground good luck getting anywhere cept round a nice clean pole.

and going a bit off topic i thought you were selling your 34 man? or is this a new one??? :P

but by all means Mickey Thompsons are the way to go for any straight line events.

Yes.

Mickey Thomspon ET Streets.

Limiter launch from my V8 5 ltr commie drop the clutch and they wouldnt spin, they actually killed the cars revs and made it bog.

Unbelievable grip. Mine cost near enough to 600 bucks for two, 235/50/15s. Keep an eye out on ebay, there was a batch not long ago that had the MT print stuffed, so they were clearing them for cheap as chips

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
