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'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
