I got them in a 255/40/R17

2 laps in and they were just spinning in every corner.

that's with 180kw at that!

I'm currently running at about 250-260rwkw with a nice smooth power curve so nothing really comes on too hard too fast, and the car does mostly street driving. I'm really happy with them because of their bang for buck ratio and their cold grip which is where I mostly use them. If I was taking it to the track then I wouldn't be using them, because as you say, they go off after a few hot laps and need to cool down.

They do smoke nicely at deca though ;)

Using the basketball court for a motorkhana circuit instead of the megamini, tyres do not like it very much...

Also, need rear camber arms :/

tried to claim me some centerlink yesterday.

apparently i earn to much or someshit, but every little helps. have to take the visa in and see what they say.

Im pretty sure Centrelink payments are exclusive to GTR owners only now

Sorry brah

nice nankangs bro...My cressy rolls on nankangs :P

My plan was... Nankangs on the 17's for pottering about, Stickies on the 18's for track grip...

Though it seems whenever it goes to DECA or Track the 18's go on, and then don't come back off for street driving because the BBS's look better than the AVS's.

*sigh* so it looks like I need to wait up to 4 weeks before my car is repaired again. The parts have been ordered from Nissan Australia and that's the estimate they gave to the repair shop.

Anyone ordered from Nissan Australia before? How long did it take?

Sounds about right.

Smaller parts will get here sooner.

What happened to the car? What parts take a month to acquire? Gotta be coming from JP at that timespan...

Was involved in a rear end collision. Rear bumper, 2 rear reverse lights, the back panel and a few others I think. Yep they are coming from Japan, I'm hoping it is more like 2 weeks delivery.

In the meantime spend your petrol money on alcohol, hookers, bet on black, buy crack, and moar alcohol

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
