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!

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...

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
