I'm thinking of using slicks soon but realised I know nothing about them like size (will fit under our skylines), brand, do you have to use front runners and what size rim people are using

I heard you can use a Ford chaser rim which would be a very cheap option but am not to sure if this is true any info would be great and handy to all

Thanks Brett

OBHAVE from melb has run a 9.8 using a rb25. From what i know he did a 10.3 with 430-50rwhp thats auto.

Manual is the creatd motorsports black one from melb which was a 11.16 @ 126mph.

Both cars i believe had gutted interior and full slicks on 15inch rims and front runners.

Also 16inch au rims do not fit. They hit the brake clappers though yes they are the same stud pattern. I tried this.

Buster, was your time on nitto's? or standard st tyres and what mph did you get.

I run nittos as standard street tyres every day of the week as they are only a semi slick radial tyre

At the end of the day no different then the Dunlop DO1J, Falken Azena, Bridgestone Re540 semi slicks that people use for street/track work ie a radial tyres though the nitto is better suited for drag due to the higher sidewall then the other semi slicks I've mentioned

I ran a best so far of 11.8 @ 123mph with a 60ft of 2.0, I have ran a 60ft of 1.8 at lower boost but haven't been able to get the launch right at the higher boost level yet

We're lucky enough to have the new drag strip opening soon which will mean we'll get a fully prepped strip which should help a bit as I do kick sideways a touch going into 3rd and 4th on the part of the strip which isn't treated

Back on track though do you know anything about slicks?

    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
