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.

Dodged 2 court cases for jury duty, one being a 6 week murder trail. Wew.

A short one would have been nice to experience but f**k travelling to city at 9am everyday, that shit is for suckers

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
