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.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
