Semi slicks dont grip in the wet due to tread block design (well they do, but not as good as normal "high performance" road tyres). A true semi slick (R compound) will be dead on you within 5000kms as well.

Besides those two points, check out the suspension and handling section, lots of threads in there on tyres :)

I post here because its better to get opioon off ppl who i know.  The Falken Azenis ST115s i am pretty sure arent made in 265's

Well thanks i think i will ask around for fedrals see what happens.

They 'were' made in that, cause i have them in 265/35r18. Not sure whether they are any more, however my mother checked prices for me one day, and somewhere assured her they could get them, at $490 a corner though :rolleyes:

Going to try out Firenza this time around, Ash who some of you know has said good things about them

Highly suggest Falken Azenis ST115s. Plenty thumbs up.

Yeah, theyre not a bad tyre, have a couple of dramas with them tho, when i did a motorkhana on them, the car was front wheel sliding at times, i thought that shouldnt happen on 235's,

other then that, they are a good tyre, i have no trouble smoking them, but when you want them to grip, they do, except for some acquaplaning in the wet (255's but so its understandable)

I had Nexen N2000's on the back of mine for a while, they're not a tyre that I'd reccomend to anyone that likes grip

They'd be awesome for drifting though :(

I've got Vredestein Sportrac 2 tyres on the front of mine, brilliant tyres

they stick like shit to a blanket, even in the wet (2 huge ass water channels might have something to do with that)

And currently I have Bridgestone Turanza ER30's on the back, which were good when they were new.....

I'll second the vredenstein sportrac's. I have them on the front of my car and no matter how hard I throw the car into a corner, the front will not slide. Also under really heavy brakeing they have great grip so won't activate ABS unless you are literally standing on the brakes.

Shaun, there is one high performance tyre that I would recommend in that size Falken FK451's, they're not to pricey but they are as good as youll get for street performance...

I got Frink 2 of them in 265 40 R17 for about 90 cheaper per tyre than retail, I know I guy.

Let me know if you want me to get you a price.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
