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

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
