I've got them on 9.5s on the rear, and wouldn't call them stretched.

265s would be better for a 10" wheel, but these are cheap and basicaly full life left in them....

If only i hadnt just purchased a house :( Ill just run the RSR and learn to drive haha

Yokie AD08R's. Anyone know anything about them?

I used them on my old green Gts-t. Managed to match my RE55 time on short track in a high powered rwd skyline so they grip like crazy for what they are (a few suspension changes at the same time so that would have helped)... Not a semi by any stretch but you wouldn't lose time a whole lot of time compared (maybe 1.5sec slower)

Hey guys I'm going to be using the ku36 kuhmos as steer tyres on the drifter just wonderig if anyone's had experience with them, I think they are more of a sticky stret tyre than a race compound, I'm restricted to 205/50/15 in size, main reason I wanted stickier tyres on the front is to reduce understeer

Are you looking for a good street tyre, or a semi slick for circuit use. They are a good street tyre.

If you are after a semi slick the 15" rim will limit you, but it also suggests you have a light car. Look into Toyo 888 and Kumho v70a. They will be nice and cheap in those sizes too

Sorry forgot to say what car it is, it's a s13 Silvia , fully stripped and fitted with an rb25 , i can't see it weighing over 1100kg.

It's purely for drifting and I only want them on the front , was hoping that because they are a street semi they might last me longer than a race compound, also there design allows for use in damp conditions.

My main concern is weather I should have stuck to 17's and weather a 235 or 245 would have provide a lot more grip on the front , for the past year I've just been using cheap tyres like durun and sunny 235/45/17 as steer tyres, hoping that a reduction is size will balance out with the quality upgrade of tyre?

Best bang for buck Druncan ?

Haven't bought a set for a while, and last time I did the Federals were definitely the thing to have for the money. But I see Harry's warning that they have changed for the worst since.

I'd probably go Kumho V70A again, they worked well and didn't require me to sell drugs to fund them like yokos or dunlop.

It's not far off a full semi and they are pretty cheap. what do you guys think?

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
