Which Tyre For R33?

I am due for some new tyres. The front two don't match for starters. The front drivers is bold. The front passenger is a Potenza GTIII. The Rears are some shitty $115 chinese jobs.

The current sizes I have on atm is 235/45/17 for the front, and 245/45/17 for the rears.

I find that the potenza is gripping pretty good when i turn right and the weight of the car is on it, and when i turn left the car slides abit easier so i know the potenza is the better one out of the 4.

I was talking to an independent who recons that Yokohamas grip better than bridgestones but they ware out alittle faster... are yokos better for grip really?

What do you guys recommend is a good tyre for both street and track at a reasonable price?

could you give a brand and type of tyre and an estimate price if possible???? I am alittle lost with the hard to come by genuwine unbiased information and people don't want to give prices over the phone for some reason.

also my cheap $115 rears that came from compliance dont seem to give me the g-force that my friends automatic standard 4 door gets. My line is a r33 series 2 thats about 170kw at the wheels, could I blame the lack of thrust on the shitty tyres????

not to mention i give them a 1/10 rating in the wet.... and dump clutching it in any speed up to about 70km/h causes allot of wheel spin.

cheers guys

Hey buddy, get RE-001 tyres and you wont be dissapointed. They are very grippy, dont ware down quickly (assuming your allignment is correct and you dont take every corner like your on that track) and reasonably priced compared to others. About 250 - 300 each depending on where you go. I have RE-001R tyres which are alother step up, i got them with my wheels. They are awesome and i have heard they are selling them in AUS now too. Not sure on price yet. RE range is potenza btw

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
