Apparently the 285 18 Achilles 123s are better bang for buck and cheaper than 265/35/18 Federal RSR.... AND they're about the same width because RSR's are wider than 265's should be so will fit under by rear end without needing to roll any guards?

Thoughts? Comments? Which tyre should I go for now that I've decided to do Winton on the Friday before DECA in Nov?

Edit: Just need the 2 rears, 18x9.5 (can't remember the offset...) since I've still got enough RS-R on the front to last a few days.

I was speaking to Richo a few weeks ago about this

He is under the impression the compound has changed for the RS-R's now so they are now crap

Better go the Achilles 123s

I might have some new Hankook Rs3's you could use for cheap if you want lol

What size are the RS3's toby? PM me a price? Y U no use them and how are they on the street / track?

I'll PM yah

Rs-3's are a 265/40/18

Good enough tyre to win 1st, 2nd & 3rd at the 2012 WTAC clubsprint class

inb4 Richo takes a podium this year in his Advans :P

they matter more for cat in drift with her 700hp twin turbo V8 than they do for you in grip with your 6.3kw shopping trolley if that's what you are asking :P

Speaking of tyres, I need some before DECA.

How bad is it to have tyres laying outside for many months through winter and using them?

Just drop the front shaft and do skids.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
