220-240kw R33 gtr, daily driver.

On the same car with 266kw of power I found the standard 595's too hard and slippery in the wet. The 595 RS-R's were actually far grippier in dry or wet even when cold and lasted for a good length of time.

595 if you have no money, 595 RS-R for safer driving (they are not real semi slicks).

But hey upgrading from the base 595's to the RS-R's shows you a huge difference.

Pirelli p7s are abit soft in the sidewall for my liking. Falkens have good grip, performance and cost effective.

Fk452 = best wet tyre ever, abit noisey like 595, directional, new fk453 out now to replace it.

Ze912 = good allround asymmetric tyre

Or for more coin go the Bridgestone potenza range re001, re002, s001. Very rigid tyre an very quiet.

I believe I'm running RE-001 and they're quite decent in both wet and dry. Can't really comment on their ability to hold traction under power in the dry any more since I think they dried out a bit too much in the months my car didn't move and was outside :(

I had the same RE001s before Troy bought them and I always liked them - they did me well for around 350-400kw atw and I did some pretty hard launching on them too.

Only sold cause I needed bigger wheels to clear my brakes. I went OTT and got semi slicks... Super impractical but f**king fun!

Or go to ntw talk to mick and then take your car/wheels round the corner to jax fyshwick where mick takes his cars ;) haha

Also I got 235/40R18 stretched onto my 9.5"s (widest legally permissible for a 235/40), tyres cheap as and it's the look I'm after.

do you have a picture of the stretched tyre?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
