Il be getting new wheels in the next few weeks (work xd9 in 18x10 +18)

I need some help choosing tyres, car does around 60/100kms a week street driving, and want to get into drag racing abit, so awesome dry grip tyres is what I'm after, with something around 200 treadwear rating to give me reasonable life on the street

R compounds are out of the question

I'm considering these so far?

Nitto nt05

Toyo R1R but just found out they don't make them in 18" ?

Nitto INVO

Advan a13

Looking at sizes around 245/255 r18

Any feedback from listed tyres that people have used would be great,

Or if you think there's others that would fit my requirements feel free to share :)

Thanks

Nice choice on wheels dude.... What colour you going?

cheers mate, going matte black :)

what about the AD08s, there was a guy at wakefield last time i went the had the KU36s an his 33 GTR and they looked to hold on really good

the nitto invos look cool and come in both 260 and 220 treadware

the INVO 18" tyre size only comes in 260 treadwear...which is still pretty good for life and grip

found afew AD07 and AD08's and seem to be very smimilar to the nitto NT05 which i have read only good things about...

ive narrowed it down to about 3, their are too many reviews on every model, its hard to decide lol

Uh ha, didn't see that bit, but no I think 260 would have very little grip, I think your right about staying to the 200 mark, I have the AD08s on my 32 which are 180 and are AWESOME tyres and they replaced Bridgestone Adrenalines which where 220 and not to bad, I have Falken RT615s on my 34 and they are 220 and are horrible horrible tyres

I'd say go the AD08s or KU36s from my experiences as the best alround tyres

Hey mick have u checked that the xd9s will fit on your car with the brembos? I've got standard sumi's on my car and my xd9s only just clear by about 2mm on the front.

I spode you could run a 2mm spacer if worse comes to worse

Just so happens I have the Nitto Invo on the front and Yokohama Ao46 on the rear. Fantastic combination. Do not underestimate the Nitti Invo as a sport tyre. Amazing grip. I have tried almost every tyre you can think of with 325,000k's on my car and this is a great combo. Nitto is superb in the rain and excellent in the dry. It has a 260 tread rating on the inside and 160 on the outside. For the grip they have lasted around 20,000k's and still good. The rear Yoko's are still in great condition and offer some of the best straight line grip around. I have found alot of tyres are ok around corners but seem slack in a straight line or need warming to perform. Not these tyres. The last 3 sets of tyres I've had were Falken 615 only because I got them cheap, sadly they are only good when warm. In every day traffic they can be quite dangerous. Sadder still is the 10,000k's I was getting out of them, no thanks.

There's a Sh!tload of Advan A050s leftover from WTAC on the weekend. Most were replaced after just one heat cycle. I'd love to have them myself ;)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
