All this talk of tyres is making my brain hurt

Just get a second set of rims with some Dunlop slics and problem solved

Nah it's all good, just going to get a good street set.. Will get 18s in the future if I decide to track etc...

yeah 595 ss, i want rsrs but 1000 bucks >.<

on another note,

i just drove a gtr, was big and yellow and im f**kin getting one next year!!

cant beleive the difference!! uts f**kin epic!!! keep a look out for a 33 gtr boys. low kms, many mods, 20k

will be buying feb/march next year when i got a steady job

Was it the twins or the AWD

For the money of a 33 GTR you could get a Stag. Twin turbo and AWD plus room for a baby seat for future use

everything man, race seats, you felt like you were sitting in a jet, the twins sound sick, the twin bovs sound sick, the exhaust, the fact that everyone was looking at it just driving down a back street. f**kin awesome.

yeah but stags are f**kin gay hahaha.

Might need to buy a yellow 33r to get the 'deer in the head lights' look from everyone haha

Just have cash to rebuild 10K is a good firgure, i got stuck for a few weeks with mine when i blew it, lucky i "found" 10k. My rebuild will be done 1st week of next month costing around 9.2k, they had to order more parts then they thought as the head was FUBAR thanks to the 3rd and 5th bearing going for a swim through the engine.

Questionable 2nd hand r34 engine's...yes

Solid rebuilds....No

But good to hear it's coming along Adam. Unfortunatly build budgets never go to plan :unsure:

Edited by wedge_r34gtr

ah i see, so itll be stronger then stock now?

With Adam's build list, he definatly will be able to handle some more power pretty reliably.

But i was mainly refering to the knowledge that the engine was going to be in good shape once finsihed i.e.'solid'

    • Oh, and I forgot that the main point of this topic was to reduce unsprung weight! 
    • So, the wheels in question come with 255 tyres from factory but I guess semi's are usually a bit fatter, maybe that's too much for an 8.5. I'm currently running 245 front and 265 rear with Federal 595's on my 19's. There are no OE square setups so to run square I either buy 2 sets of OE wheels or get an aftermarket set. I was thinking about the OE 17's I have because I already have one set (17x8, 17x8.5) and you can get another set for under $500.  I do have another set of the same 19's (I have a bit of a wheel problem) so I could put together a 19x9 square setup but I'm conscious of the cost of semi's this size. 255 square on the 19's would be pretty cool though.  
    • I might be the only guy to be able to go back to the dyno like:
    • Hopefully more pedal gives more powah! Boo to paint jail, I want dyno comparisons!
    • Sounds good. Might be worth double checking what size rim the tyres you are running want. Generally I'd expect to see a 235 tyre on a 8.5 rim. Any possibility of an easy to source OEM 9.5 wide rim? Also with the thoughts of the square setup, I'd still say wider is going to be better. Say your currently on 235 front and 255 rear. Going to square 255 will be better. But say you could fit, 255 front and 275 rear, that will be better again.  In hypothetical land there might be a world where you go so wide that performance starts to go backwards, but I don't think you'll ever bump into that situation in real life.
