Anyone tried the BFGoodrich g-Force R1?

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=g-Force+R1

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

I think they're very soft. Should be good for hillclimbs if you're in a class that allows slicks.

Consensus is that R888s suck on GTRs, but are ok for light cars. I have R888s at the moment, after using Fed RSRs. Although there was some months in between the last RSR session and the first R888 session, they dont seem that much different (and they should be since S spec to R spec)

Ill be looking to go for something decent this year as will actually be doing some track work finally!

Running RSRs at the moment and they are good on tight tracks but as soon as i went on SMSP GP Circuit they were gone after a few laps! (Fronts)

I just got a set of AD08Rs in 285/30R18s for the R33 GTR from Traction too. In fact probably my 3rd set of tyres from there...

The AD08 was good so looking forward to trying these out... however I did run Hankook Z221s are they were amazing... for 2 track days then they went downhill.

I cannot believe that they still make wheels small enough to put a 195/50/15 on.

We have been very happy with the performance of Kumho V70a's on our R33 to the point that we have just purchased another set in 255/45/17 and 275/40/17 - just what you need for the MX5.

Hey Chubbs I have found some for you for $225 each at International Tyre Trader

Here is the page that they are on http://www.tyretrader.com.au/index.php?route=product/search&filter_tyrewidth=195&filter_tyreratio=50&filter_tyrediameter=15&sort=pd.name

At that price you would have to check the build date because they sound cheap

Where did you get them? How much for the 255s?

I have Falken RT615s on My 34 rims and hate them very very much, horrible tyre, I have AD08s in 265/35/18 on my 32 and love them, I have just put RS-3 in 275/35/19 on my 34 and am yet to see how they go, picked up a set of Z221s this mourning in 265/35/18 and have run out of rims :(

Didn't want to read the Z221s go off so quick, bugger

I picked them up from a guy who ran them on a Silvia in Time Attack - so even though they were on a high horsepower car they had not had a lot of use or heat cycles.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
