Post edited to remove pointless dribble about nitto's as I failed to notice he is after ghey 19's

Joeyjoejoe: Yes starting to regret the 19's now... bought when car was essentially stock with no major plans for upgrading it... they look the bizz but makes finding tyres (especially affordable tyres) much harder... :blink:

I'm just shocked at how laggy the car is. 5000rpm to get to 18psi? Something is not right there.

Federal SS for all round performance, or KU36s for the dry.

Yes i thought something was wrong from looking at that sheet as well, but couldn't feel it on the road - I tested it on the road this morning - full boost well before 4500rpm so its just obviously either the ramp rate on the dyno or the way the operator put (or didn't put) his foot down!

Just goes to show that dyno charts need to be taken with a grain of salt...

been around for a while now... i run them every now and then in my drift car. with 310 rwkw and aggressive boost and torque curve it doesnt wheel spin in any gear in a straight line... pretty grippy tyre! they also work well from cold and dont require much heat to get them performing.

you cant be serious about the nankangs, they are good for a burnout and thats about it.

ime dead serious. they are great for what they are and the price, they perform good against better branded stuff. i work in a tyre shop and most people cant aford $400 $500 dollar tyres that do no klms.

there after a good alrounder. if it was a track car it would be different.

but ime not saying there good against some of the other stuff.

    • 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.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
