yup... this year I did it on falken 912's in the dry and managed to give myself a bit of a scare on the fastest bit... recon I was probably just as fast pouring rain on the Nitto's

(bearing in mind that the surface of that road has EXCELLENT water dispersion)

This...comparing apples with oranges here. Even on the same cars traction is a totally different story with suspension setup and power delivery, let alone totally different chassis and gear ratios.

oraqnges lol. icwatudidthar

ya even with my power I could spin in 3rd when I had cold streets

semi's fixed that.

yeh if it doesnt sell in say 6 or so months, chances are ill keep the f**ker and keep going.

This... is what I was getting at..... ;)

no it wasn't lol, you out of all people wait for any chance you can to take a dig at someone. It is highly unlikely you would beat around the bush lol

While I do enjoy the good ol dig... especially at people with orange cars... I was actually referring to suspension in this instance ;)

Lol yeh.

Super streets= shit, do not rate them at all I reckon if I end up keeping the car they'll be coming out

Super streets are good at what they do, there's more to suspension than just springs/shocks...you probably haven't had the whole thing set up by a decent suspension place. Need corner weighting and purposeful alignment...

Lol.

I've been on the nt05 train for ages, nothing but praise for them. Full traction everywhere with 280rwkw, feels good man

S chassis is a bastard for suspension setup. Some run mega kg/mm springs other run soft.

iiirc JET200 run's 6/4 or 5/4 or something, while Revolution run 10/8 or 11/11.

At the end of the day 'traction' is a myth and people will have differing opinions of what 'loosing traction' really is.

You will always be compromising with a crossover tyre. NT05, AD08, RS3, R1R, RSR. All have their upside and downsides.

I'm on a 255 AD08 and when they are warm and up to temperature (their peak) they still slide around like crazy. I'm at a level now and car is at a level know here more tyre is needed / a sticker tyre. This same thing happened 12 months ago when I moved to a 255 on the front. The car and I moved on and pushed the 235 front tyre passed what it could do.

i remember driving behind kris a couple years back in my GTS4, pretty sure ham was riding shotgun. the body roll on that thing was f**king scary lol

anywayyyyyyy.

who here hates HSVs?

you know what you need richo, 215s on a 9.5" rim..

That's because Kris had 280rwkw iirc and standard suspension.... because that's how we should mod cars, power first

dude i DROVE that deathtrap!

280rwkw at like 9metres high with soft ass suspension through the hills.... must be a lot nicer now with coilovers lololol

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
