I have a pair of Bridgestone Potenza Re-01R 255/40/17 94W Semi slick Track/ road tyres.

These suit Track and legal to drive on the streets,

They are best street legal tyres you can get.

Plans have changed with my car which is why i dont need these anymore.

they are both as new, %98 tread.

Some info about the tyres from the net.

The Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R tires have been designed for street use with similar characteristics as motor sport semi slick tires, providing the ultimate street/circuit balance available.

* High Grip and Sidewall Stiffness

* Semi Slick like shoulder block

* Heat resistant polymer with cooling slit

* Wide Center rib for increased lateral stiffness

* Silica for improved wet weather performance

* Faster than Bridgestone RE-01 by 2 seconds at Tsukuba

The Potenza RE-01R is Bridgestone's tyre for drifters. It is used by top drifters in Japan and also the Autosalon Drift Racing team in Australia.

There can be few tougher ways for a tyre to earn its street cred then in drift racing - but that's exactly where the Bridgestone Potenza RE01R is right at home.

It incorporates Bridgestone's semi-slick shoulder block, wide straight.

Local Pick up from Western suburbs (Melbourne)

Or i can send around aus with a cheap courier company at buyers expense.

these tyres were close to $500 each tyre

Im asking $600 for the pair..

No tyre kickers....

are they semi slicks, i thought they were just normal road tyres..

Hey mate,

Yes they are semi slicks,

but you can use these tyres both on track and are street legal.

These tyres are ment to be one of the best tyres for Track work & for Drifting as recommended by top Japanese Drifters.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
