arent 888s as noisy as shit??? I went in a car that had them at a track day and the buzzed, screw that for a car i drive daily

You'd be an idiot to use them daily

Arent 888s proper semis? If so I would expect them to be real noisy.

Yes

Josh i admire your dedication to grip because i would go mental....because at wakefield there is nowhere you are going anywhere near 200 and it was annoyingly loud through a helmet!

Smash 200 easy at lakeside... even the pintara can do it

@colin: YES! DO IT

need to play more cards.

$300 for rest of S13 stuff $600 turbo kit $83 minispool. Skids!

but still need to pay my fine n shit so a few more casino nights are needed.

you can? its not hard to learn to play and you don't have to be that good to beat the casino game. Just gotta be careful.

the speed 2 is the update version of the speed which is a update of the sprint v. i cant find the speed's in australia.

ive sat in a sprint v and its very close to the bride zeta. and for half the price you cant go wrong, and the material feels stronger.

if you want i could en-quire about them for you?

Would be much more interested in the R100s. I just like the speeds better for the updated color pattern. need black with red.

wish i could just go to the casino to pay for cool shit

+ 1

...but i don't gamble...

I'm never willing to lose big so i never win big :happy:

I've come out ahead more times than i've come out behind though :blink:

Going back on tyres for a bit.

Bridgestone RE001's are a great tyre, not the best wearing thing in the world but still a great tyre. It all depends on where the RE001 is made, some are made in japan and pretty much since the start of the year anything out of jpn has gone through the roof in way of tyres it will cost a shit load, if its aussie made re001 it will be cheap.

The Re050 and Re050a are shit and dont waste your money.

Ku31's and 595's are about equal, both great tyre for the cash.

Ku36's tread wear is a 180, so roughly the same as the Re001, pirelli pzero corsa and other good street rubber.

Another good tyre is the Michelin Pilots Sport or PP2 about a 200 tread wear, good in the wet and dry, and also very quite on the highway, not a V tread pattern so it is good. I ran these for about 20,000km with a couple of track days in there too, drove them until they had no tread pattern at all and they still gripped ok.

As for proper semi slicks? 12 months ago i got 225/50 R16 Bridgestone RE55's for $240 each fitted brand new, same place same tyre today is $440. 16's aren't the cheapest tyre to buy anymore, found i can get some 17's and 18's cheaper in the 55's. I ran with them on the street for a while too.

What i am hearing is that the Dunlop Direzza is a nice tyre. Also the R888's i am yet to try either of these. I have also driven on Advan A048's and they were pretty good. Wouldnt mind seeing what the Kumho V70a's are like, about the same price as the dunlop and bridgestone

If you got lots of money to spend, Pirelli Pzero and Michelin Cup is the place to lay your gold. Driven on both, nice tyre, don't last long at all. 30 lap race on the Pirelli and they were blistered and dead. The car drove from the valley to QR, raced and drove back to the valley.

Apart from that, i had a shit night at indoor soccer, we lost

we played some private boys school fag team, seriously must have been gay, they kept hold onto us.

I got a penalty against me for shoulder charging, the guy deserved it though, sent him 5 metres across the field. Ref laughed at it

CoLin no ring....me feel sad :'(

Thursday night maybe ey Col!!!!?? Don't have to work on Friday do you :)

Whos a drag racing expert? I'm a corners man, but heading out tonight for some T&T funsies.

What pressure should i crack in the rear tyres?

And what RPM should I set up for my launch control? I think I'm gonna start with about 4000 and see how it goes

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • 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.
