f**k the radials of for a start..lol, i can see you forever chasing you ass with those things..and breaking shit..

i'll take a 2WD skyline with slicks any day of the week over a GTR, i think it is much easier to get them to e.t

and hook up with a laggy turbo

cheers

Why the hate for radials?

Iv been trying to work out what tires to get for my stock rears for drag, and was considering M/T's or Hoosier radials?

Why do you suggest slicks (assuming racing) for drags?

I will be taking my 32 gtst to the track in near future with some were around 350rwkw totaly stripped but has cage only thing that wont be going for it is ive got 4.08 in it for drift has s15 rear cradle will go out with some stock sus in the back. see what we can get it to do would love and 11

ive done 11 in R32 gts with 430whp and M/T. No changes apart from coilovers (damper as soft as they go)

im sure i can get hold of some whats the idea of front i always thought was only rear mattered

You wont get the weight transfer your looking for...

Dial up zero camber at ride height and a slight toe in down back.

they absorb f**kloads more shock, they are a lot easier to get to work without suspension mods

you will go faster and break less shit(driveshafts/tailshafts etc)

people that go fast on manual trans with drag radials deserve a big pat on the back, it ain't that easy...

i don't hate them, they serve a purpose, i only use them for the street, but even then i like bias plys..but they don't go around a corner..lol

^^ that's crazy talk. You gotta spend mega bucks, to get a 2wd car to hook up any where near as good as a factory gtr.

dunno, if your talking slicks on a 2wd and streeters on a gtr..ill take the 2wd, guess there many ways to look at it though, not sure which angle

you are coming from

cheers

Ok so here's the parts we have so far...

an r33..good compression..auto with shift kit...To4z turbo..750cc injecotrs and tomei intake pump..either an emanage or an adaptronic ecu...diff will be welded...and we have pineapples for the rear end....

If we get some slicks we should be close yeah? Any recommendations for 16 inch slicks..what size can we fit under there?

    • 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 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
