The trick is to get your 60' times down first. Adding NOS means SFA if you spin you wheels like crazy comming out of the hole.

take staceys quickest two runs for example she babyd the car on these two runs ,left the line better ie.good 60ft and no wheel spin on gear changes.sure a better driver would have gone quicker but for her level of experience no more power is needed until she can learn to drive it on the grip threshold to maximise the power she has got without comprimising grip.

Maybe I am old fashioned (at 23 years young), but with NOS you can sit there all day running the same time

I wasn't clear in what i meant.... I meant with NOS you will run times better than without NOS etc... then when you run out of NOS the guy next to you without it now starts to beat you, and will continue doing so until you refill your bottle....

in reference to what you read my comment as - i'm sure it would be alot harder to run consistent times with NOS, more to think about, more to get the timing right etc...

these seem to be in the grey weather legal or not.

Ask 10 cops and see what answers you get. I'll put money on it. What if you put Nittos on your car to race? Everything else was stock and they are radial tyres after all... But then you drive home and get pulled over. The cop gets you to pop your bonnet and sees that all is as it should be. Checks your tyres (as your guards are covered in rubber:D)and they're fine too. But what's this? Your tyres don't have the same weight rating that your tyre placcard specifies?

Oh oh.... Your bone stock GTR just got defected for having ILLEGAL tyres. While he's looking at you closer now cos you give him/her a earful of cheek, he notices that your rego sticker is slightly peeling off. What do ya know?!?! Another ticket.

What a shame you can't tell the people on your favourite forum that your times were in street trim, street legal, whatever. Better get that rego sticker re-stuck too!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
