try 205 on a 9" :P

stretched is for drifting, but for racing id go with fattest tyre possible to fit in ur guard for all the handling you can get

Only if you are going with the best quality tyre you can afford. Meaning that its useless squeezing the widest tyre you can under the guards if its a cheapo tyre, when a smaller top quality tyre will do an equal or most likely way better job.

Also useless using a massive wide tyre on the back if your running a lot of negative camber on the rear, you won't be increasing the tyre contact patch at all

Hypnotik: mate id be quit happy to show u my 265s on the 8" rim, pm me we can meet up to show u as im on the coast.

and ive taken my car around a track and for street tyres they handle fine, nothing psycho but if i wanna have more fun on the track i either put my MT slicks for drags, or my Falken Azenis on my 17" rims...

btw: that pic of the silvia looks hideous, worst looking example of a silvia i have ever seen

You guys have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Especially Hypnotik. It seems you like to talk about things you've neither done nor have experience with. In other words, you're regurgitating misinformation you've been fed without having the first clue what you're on about.

I ran 275's on my 17 x 8's and had no problems. And I'd think twice before suggesting I didn't have enough of the tyre on the track because I have timeslips (read: real world personal experience) to back it up.

Sorry, but i just refuse to meet up with someone like you who obviously has no clue, your last sentence just totally proved that. To think your example of an R33 can even compare to a tough looking S13 such as Nigels, widely considered as the best S13 Silvia in Australia is a joke. The amount of work and engineering gone into that S13 is simply mind blowing, in another world from the majority of imports in Australia with all their bolt on mods (including my car). Your car could never even come close to matching this S13. You just continue hard parking your R33...

Why don't you post up a pic of what you think is a good example of an S13?

Please explain to me what is so wrong that i have previously said... Sounds like you have no clue if you thing that all there is to gaining traction is squeezing the biggest tyres possible under the rear of your car. Oh, those 275's on your car look f**king horrible...

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
