ill be going with michelin super sports in 21" next - though im limited by michelin's sizes so fronts will be 2.7% out, rears are available in my current size

a few of our cars have them now as oem fitment and they are a great tyre

i really need more grip then my yoki advan sports offer (back when i bought it was the best option for my wheel sizes)

Hey Guys

Any comments on the Toyo R888's?

I like the idea of the wider fit, non RFT for a smoother ride on the road and I know the grip is supposed to be good but, how about the wear and road noise?

about to buy, so comments please.

Very noisy and with a UTQG of only 100 will not last long. (Compared to say 180 for the Dunlops - so basically close to half the life expectancy).

Upshot is the grip is much better. So really more suited as a track tyre than a full street tyre IMO.

I have just put the Michelin Super Sports on. I had a new set on my E63 AMG & they

were excellent on that. On the GTR the ride does seem marginally better but they dont

look quite as wide on the rims as the run flat Dunlops did.

Martin was having trouble with the Michelins spinning on the dyno recently so the harder

compound (500 vs 300) obviously affects the grip.

On the street they feel good. Have not driven hard up in hills yet so will test them soon

and see. Is always difficult comparing to old worn tyres. I had 9000km on the original Dunlops

& they were pretty trashed so any new tyre would be an improvement.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.

      Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
