The rims would be OK on the track as i cant imagine Ant doing too much offroading or ripple strip jumps ;) But i agree with the Feds more due to the size of them!

ha cheers for the import guys..

i just looked again and pretty much decided to go with the nittos haha... im hopeless.

the nt05 isnt a full track tyre.. the nt05R is the proper semi slick, with the r type compound etc..

the tread wear differences of the two tyres are 200 nt05 and 240 for the federals..

so the nittos would just be a really grippy street tyre, and would still get 10k kms on them i think.. not like the proper semis where i would burn up the rubber on the steet within 2k kms..

so im kinda thinking i should just buy the gripper tyre for more fun on the street?... where the federals will probably just be the same as the falkens i have.. maybe even a little worse?...

tread wear

internet, just searching specs.

they arent the holy grail, but give you an idea..

just looked up my falkens and they are rated at 300, so will be an improvement!

im not sure haha... cant go past the value of federals.. but also wouldnt mind the nitto being a better tyre.. again though, there not $500 worth of better are they!

Nope and you are already going from 300 down to 240 which is an improvement!!

Ill see if i can find the info on this site of all the grippy tyres, be back in a sec!

Found it, was in the SAU Nats entry regs -

got it.

My bridgestone RE-01R's are rated at 140-180 lol. I knew they were sticky, didn't relise they were that sticky lol.

A few people i spoke too rekon you would get 15-20k kms out of them.

When i had the rears on the wrong sides they were shit. Epic wheel spin in the wet lol.

But after i corrected that, i found they griped fine. They floated a bit on the highway during the wet, but i think that was just due to the width.

oh yeah there directional. :-) and i should mention that they were bald too at that stage.

But getting back tto why i was looking for the wear value is that i'd heard these grip like FED RS-R's and wear like the RS's so i was going to say these might be an option for Ant (well the RE-02 anyway, which have repalced the Re01 and are apparently better again)

From memory the Re-01R's were about $360 a corner.

f*ck.

i have RE001 NOT RE01R's. got the names mixed up -sorry.

http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Bridgestone/

wear rating on the RE001 220

wear rating on the new RE002 is meant to be the same, but bridgestone claim its better.

http://www.bridgestone.com.au/tyres/treads/RE002.aspx

It should be mentioned that the RE001/2 are the successor to the bridgestone tyre that was developed/released with the r34gtr

I just read a few reviews..... Someone went from the current rears i have to the RE002 and said it changed the car!!! I assume there is going to be some wide 275 lines (on every private road) around here :laugh:

doesnt look like they make them in the size i need, which im finding very common..

like the KU36s... dont even make them in a 19 im pretty sure.. im fairly limited when it comes to tyres!

still in between the two haha...

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
