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

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
