Hi,

Don't suppose you can pm me a dyno sheet and let me know what else you've done. It's not that I don't believe you, I just thought I'd done everything to cut the lag before opening the engine.

Even with a built 26 -5s are lazy on the street :)

Noticeably laggier in/out of gears, in the hills etc. You have to really wring the cars neck compared to having -9s (having had both)

-5s come into their own above 150km/h, but for most people thats largely useless.

i disagree, my -5s are great on the street and in the hills they are awesome.

i dont think they are laggy at all

ive been in a very very laggy GTR, i cant handle the wait.

i think allot of it comes down to supporting mods and the tune

Driven a GTR with -9s on it on those same roads?

That's where the story tells itself i found.

It was a noticeable increase in lag as id driven the same roads with -9s for 4 months before i put on -5s recently. I also found myself having to drop a gear more often with -5s and really get up it where -9s due to coming on sooner didnt need that geardown.

The only thing in favour of -5 is they pull to 8000-8500 no problem where the -9 are finished by 7000-7500. but they come on later so it makes sense.

In effect its probably a good thing for a stock motor to have the ones that don't have you keep burying the foot to higher rpm

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
