Well according to BOOSTD who has the NT555, not the 555R, so not even the top of the range, they stick well in the wet.  He is putting down over 260rwkw, so I will take his word for it.

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.

My NT555 ZR aren't classed as drag tyres, they are street tyres. The pattern on them looks simalar to any other tyre. And yes they grip better than any other tyre I have used in the wet. They don't seem to need any heat which impresses me to =)

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.

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
    • Plazmaman 76mm Pro Series, done. Data to back it up, I posted up somewhere here a few years back
