Hey,

Looking for some info regarding V8 supercar slicks (Dunlop 280/680/17), is it a good idea to run this on a track spec r32 gt-r?

My rims are nismo lmgt-4 17x9.5 +15, will the tyres fit on my rims?

The car is running around 350-400hp, mild mods nothing crazy, do i risk breaking my drive-train/axles/transfer case if i run the slicks?

I am currently using Advan AD08 and find them to be great, but i want more a more track spec tyre

Cheers

From what I've read you'll be lucky to fit them with the standard front suspension (specifically the goosenecks). We run a 240/625/17 no problems, and I believe a 650 diameter fits.

We run similar horsepower and the grip is great around the corners but a little bit tail happy on throttle.

Cheers

Why?

If the AD08's arent doing it for you grab some semi's from the local tyre dealer.

If the Cyber EVO can knock of the V8 Supertaxi EC lap record on semi's there is no real need for a full slick really :D

I would concentrate more on car setup than compensating with a slick tyre

You're wasting your time with V8SC slicks. You'll need 11inch wide rims (can use them on a 10 but wouldn't go any narrower) and with the stiff springs you run, lack of body stiffness (ie no roll cage) and the massive side wall they have, the car will be bouncing around like a pogo stick.

Not to mention that they can't be bought in good condition and anything you can get your hands on are rubbish that not even DVS guys would go near.......

Sc slicks can't be compared to any semi. Try and do as many laps on any semi as a sc control tire will do with the same consistency and speed.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
