I call bullshit on this..

went from the old R888 to Achilles 123 Sport (their supposedly track tyres)

grip level dropped so fast it was not funny.

just ended up spinning tyres out of every corner.

I'm currently running the 123s. They're not a proper semi like r888. There more equivalent to a fed 595rsr and I've found they perform similarly. 595 might be a touch better.

do you have any suspension work done to the car? Swaybars, camber, castor adjustments?

Swaybars make a massive improvement in understeering/oversteering.

GTR swaybars, castor arms, camber arms

had 595rs, ku36, RE11 prior and now on RS3 I had significantly less grip with the 123s

180RWKW and just spinning them rest I could stand on the pedal and no issues.

I had RE002's once... Then my wallet got raped and won't be buying Bridgestone sports tyres ever again.

They've probably done like 3000kms in a few years, so will hang onto them until they bald like Louis CK

My experience has been quite different. 248rwkw and grip fine. Maybe the weight of the skyline helps. Dont get me wrong, they're not amazing, far from it. I was just trying to make the point that they're not an r compound.

In saying all of that, would I buy them again? Probably not. Truth be told, the only reason I did buy them is coz they where 150 a corner fitted in 265/35/18. Wallet was happy:) I think i'll be trying the rs3 next.

RS3 are getting up near R888 grip but wear so much better.

I got the 123S as I wanted AD08's but was 2 weeks out from WTAC so think there were my size left in stock!

these were cheap, and I needed tyres for SAUNats.

got a class win at that.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
