I'm pretty sure that Rocket Industries stocks Mickey Thompson tyres.

Didn't realise that they're only $250 though :D

I don't know why, but I always had the impression that they were up around the $400 mark (comparable with the BFG drag radials). If they're only $250 a pop, then that's very good bang for buck as you'll easily cut tenths off your time using them compared to average street rubber.

the standard sizes....we use 255x50x16....but they make a 235 as well as varoius other sizes

this is a special DiRTgarage price

One off special price, or always available price??? :D

I've got a set of BFG drag radials for the moment, but may be interested in buying the MT's and keeping them for when the BFG's are finished. Without doing any proper research, it sounds like a bargain to me :D

the first comment was from Theo....which i now know was b/s

their last two fastest times were run on these

I think theo might be regretting his deal with federal so he is slandering M/T SDR's

sell the BFG's and get some ET Street's as they are a far better tyre... i could never get the 200 off the line, even at 5psi boost with the BFG's, now it leaves the line fairly well with 20psi boost in it as we are now using the ET Street's :D I havent really played about with pressures yet either and was using the ET's with 20psi in them at the last TNT

Silv,

Find a set of stock 300ZX rims and get the 255/50R16's. I'm pretty sure they'd fit on a 32 (perhaps someone can confirm?). I'm running the same size tyre and rim on my 33 and it fits fine.

ido09s,

What 60' have you run on the M/T's?

I've done a few 1.7's on the BFG's which I thought was fairly good. If you reckon the M/T's are better, then I'll definately be keen to get a set and see how they go once I do my turbo upgrade (which will be in time for the next drag day :D )

ive done a 1.51 60' time on M/T SDR's with an almost laughable burnout.....they are the SHIZNIT!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
