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.

That's a good point, when road is just wet its true it's more so when it' soaked with a few mm of sitting water even shitty tyres with channels to get rid of the water makes me feel a little better instead of a flat bald tyre aquaplaning

1 dif is that i only ever ran 235's aswell

Thank christ we ( not me, NAB ) sold all our Greek assets when this all started!

Whoever we sold them to probably doesn't think they are so clever now lol.

The whole Greek attitude to this situation is laughable.

Apparently it's the banks fault not theirs, not the government, The bloated pensions, tax optional welfare state had nothing to do with it.

Why? (srs question)

Longevity?

The NT05's are just touching the indicators in the center now, on the sides there's maaarginally more, but barely enough to catch a fingernail on.

Where else to go for alignment duties? TT always been nice to me, but heard a few things now...

Longevity is definitely a big player here, AD08s you can supposedly get 30,000km out of a set which is fantastic for what type of tyre they are.

But in my opinion I think the AD08s are better tyres due to the sidewall. They're much stiffer than the RS3s so they're a bit more predictable when it comes to breaking traction. Where as to drive RS3s fast you have to be on their limit which is a lot more "wallowy" than the AD08s, if that's the right word. To boot they seem to have more grip as well.

interesting.

this is a good thing for me as a bit more side wall flex is a good thing.

running max camber a bit more give gives more grip.

same as softening off my front sway bar gained me 1.5 seconds at winton.

      The markings on a balancer are on the outer. The outer is separated from the inner by the rubber. The outer and the inner can, and will, slip against each other as the balancer starts to fail. Put a new balancer on it.

      RB25DET NEO R34 timing belt

      By JC71 · Posted

      I just replaced the timing belt, along with tensioner, idler, water pump, etc. all the front end engine stuff with all new stock Nissan parts on my 98 R34 GTT that I just recently got, so glad I did as the belt ,tensor, idler and water pump were all original to the car with over 161 Km and looked absolutely terrible, honestly I cant believe the belt has not broken, luckily I have not driving the vehicle since I got it, and only have ran a few times because I've been restoring it over this winter. I turned engine over by hand and lined up all the timing marks from cams, to the head (plate behind pulleys), and crank to  oil pump block mark, as ran fine, but had a lot of front end noise. the idler sounded like gravel and the tensioner had to no tensor left on it at all as it appeared the spring had rusted in place due to a waterpump leak over the years. so the timing belt was very loose on the left or tensioner side. Never the less I turn engine by hand until everything lined up even with the marks on the original belt. I remove everything making sure not to rotate anything, then put in new tensioner,  idler, made sure all marks from belt matched marks on the pulleys, cams and crank alike and all marks from crank and cams to head and block were perfect. I slowly turned by hand and everything lined up on the cams and crank to the head and block every other time, as proper. all looked fine until I put the lower timing belt cover back on, then the  harmonic balancer, at this point before torqueing the crank bolt down I noticed the timing mark on the lower cover to the harmonic balancer is off. I think the marks on the harmonic balancer and in 5 degrees, from 0-20  and it should be at 0, but some how its around -2.5, not enough for a belt notch, and there is little play in this cover to the block. The key way and key are perfect on the crank and slot in balancer is perfect, no play here, and the cams and other timing marks seem to be on. Is this something to be concerned with or will it be fine. maybe just this way due to a new stock Nissan belt?? slightly tight and will stretch a hair??? I marked the CAS before disassembly and know it should be set to 15 degrees BTDC or so at 650 rpms per engine decal. so do I need to worry about what appears to be a slight retard of the mechanical timing? or will this slight difference be compensated when I adjust my CAS?   appreciate any insight.
