One is a track tyre with stiff sidewalls the other is a drag tyre.

The drag tyres are crap in the wet as you would expect from any drag tyre.

I'd rather go a RE540 than the nitto as an in between.

Sorry I think we got mixed up a bit on this one. I was talking nitto drag tyres.

By the sounds of things the nitto street tyres are very good indeed (only just looked at your thread). Very interesting to see the retail damage on them new.

      Looking at getting a Tesla style Screen for my V37 Skyline.

      I've been sent a new main board to replace the suspected broken one. I haven't taken the screen out to look but I'm I'm assuming it's all plug and play.

      GTX2867R GEN 2 NO OUTPUT FOR BOOST SOLENOID

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. It's not aesthetically pleasing. And most turbos sold these days are sold for aesthetic purposes (Insta likes/fame, etc). Also its cheaper to not machine it. The hot side is the pipe with hot air in it from the turbo to the intercooler. The cold side is the pipe with cooled air in it from the IC to the engine. Anywhere after the turbo will do. Certainly before the IC is better than the IC. But there is no massive imperative to get it from the turbo scroll itself, or from no more than an inch downstream. Those are nonsense thoughts. The only thing we want is a pretty honest measurement of the pressure at the turbo outlet, and anywhere from the compressor housing itself to the inlet of the IC will read approximately the same thing. Yeah, I disagree with Tao on that one. It's fine for an engine that only runs on the dyno at full throttle (or, equivalently, a drag car that only really runs at full throttle also). But some turbos that are particularly sensitive to overspeed (ie EFRs) would quite possibly get into a lot of trouble if run that way.

      The sarcasm should have been easily visible. It was dripping off it.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Whether the brakes will clear the back of the spokes comes down to the specific wheel, as well as its dimensions (ie 18x8 or whatever else size). You can have 2 different wheels of the same size and one will clear and on the other the spoke design will not clear. So your question "Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"?" cannot be answered in a meaningful way. You need that person to be using the same wheel you want to use.
