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.

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
