Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE002.

I had the RE001 and they were good to begin with and then hardened up like a rock when they were half worn. I switched rims and bought new tyres, and the RE001s did SEVERAL texi days (including lots of drifting and smoke) before finally showing belts. Couldn't believe how long they lasted, far longer than any "shit" tyre I've taken to Texi. Never again!!

Dunlop Sport Maxx TT - great tyre, pricey but gripped like shit to a blanket in the wet and dry right down to the wear limiters.

I can also vouch for the maxx sport TT had them on the evo when i bought it. They are a great all rounder too but i reckon i took them from around 65-70% rubber to the wear bars in around 4000km. That was spirited mountains drives mainly :)

Might be a bit late here. I've read a lot of reviews of tyres and used several too.

The best I have used in the wet are Michelin Pilot Sport 3 - just mind blowing. I did a 2 day Tarmac Rally which was wet, sometimes with standing water using the PS3 and they were incredible.

A friend of mine is a bit of a tyre nut too, he seems to think his Goodyear Asymetric 2 were a tiny bit better in the wet, maybe 10% better than the PS3 but both outstanding tyres.

Reviews suggest the Toyo Proxes T1 Sport are also excellent in the wet.

Some friends of mine have had bad experience with KU36 for a wet tyre, reviews would suggest the same.

My vote would be the Michelin, Goodyear or Toyo.

I like KU31's as a street tyre for just normal driving. Plenty of confidence in the wet. I run Yokohamas now (not sure on type) and they are a little quieter but I dont think they are quite as good in the wet.

Depends what OP uses the car for primarily

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
