Has anyone tried the new nitto radials??? I was going to use a mickey thompson 255/50/16 but id rather use something smaller like a 235 or 245/45

If anyone knows of a good branded radial that can cop load it'd be great..

If anyone knows who sells them it'd also be great.

cheers

I can vouch for the Hoosiers as well as being a good choice. They were cheaper than the MT's @ the time i was buying.

On an airport surface I could still manage a 1.5 60ft with them @ 30psi in the 275/17

I dropped the pressure to 20psi and next run broke a diff so i can't comment on the 60ft there but it certainly hooked up hard haha :)

yea ill be running them at all 4... il see where to get those hoosiers from cause i think the MT's are a little taller and they will go real close to my dry sump near the wheel arch...

Ive got a 4WD TH400 so i dont think ill break a diff... if i can get out of the hole with a 1.3 60ft il be wrapped.. need to hit half track at over 140mph and come home

Na, getting it caged now and I spun a bearing when I tried to turn it up to 60 pounds so I gotta get Anthony to do rings and bearings and have another go at it.. Poor engine did over 8000km on over 1000 at the treads.... Was due to break something.... I was lucky it didn't throw rods!!!

I'm just saving slowly to get this shit done so I'm in no real hurry to get it on the track cause every day out at the track is a couple of grand.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/

      Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.

      eBay "Hella" oil level sensor

      Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks

      All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
