haha, I thought the stretch was from a wasteland thread I was playing on :)

The tyres were on the car when I bought it and as the car has been living away from home most of the time I have not bothered. I want play a little bit when I run it in before I put the AD08Rs on.

I wanted 275/35 but they do not make a 275, just 265 then 285 ?

Mate, you have an R34, minimum I'd run is 285 :P

275/35 RS-3 on 18x10 is a tad stretch, should've went 285/30 :P

I went with what the manufacturer recommended as there were too many other opinions on forums, I am sure the first lot will not last forever :)

My concern was with the torque I will have, with the factory box and listening to the stories of the 3rd gear going POP, well mainly 3rd, I figured the more rubber on the road the more stress on the drive train if you push too hard, maybe my thinking was wrong :/

yeah i have had allot of very low cars. the 32 is sort of...old enough to look good without being slammed.

the stag or the 34 for instance looks good lower.

Yeah i dont like lowered 32's lol

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • 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.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
