You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

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 :/

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

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
