Walk out to car to find right rear AD08R nearly flat

Either fast leak or dodgy neighborhood fkin with my property again

Lose lose for Birds

one of my AD08R's deflated unnaturally quickly. other 3 were fine. was in a backyard, so no one had touched the car.

That's some Greg shit right there

Did it do it again or a one off?

Fitting AD08's to my car right now

Got told the fronts (Michelin Pilot sport 3's) are a horrible match and almost certainly will result in me binning the car

Greg issues occurring before even using them now

Widths of Front vs Rear?

I wouldn't say the tyre itself is a horrible match... your fronts aren't hardly 215 Chinese tyres... Unless the tyre place thinks you're going to be tracking it... in which case I'd be recommending AD08R's on the front as well or the rears will just push you off the track in a greg level understeer.

Coming from 245/275 Nitto NT05's

235/265 now

Pilot Sport 3 fronts, AD08 rears.

Did say I may track it, but he was more concerned i'd bin it driving in normal traffic or highway cruising.

All tyres involved were a great deal, etc.

Figured it'd be fine, if anything the PS3's should be more grippy than the AD08's, hence them being on the front of the car.

But yeah. Slip angles apparently very different, told to take EXTREME caution, and I'd notice it within 5kms of driving the car if its gonna be a problem.

I have AD08R 265 on the rear and AD08 255 on the front

It doesn't understeer really, in spite of the fronts being a street version of the rear semis

Actually is quite balanced feeling

I also postulate that the rears will wear down faster and return to a slight oversteer

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
    • Plazmaman 76mm Pro Series, done. Data to back it up, I posted up somewhere here a few years back
