Good to know! I'm trying to put on some stiffer springs too and was wondering (currently 8kg/6kg)

  • S14 VQ35DE (~260whp)
  • Toyo RA1 255/40/17 on 17x9
  • 2700 lbs w/ driver
  • No Aero
  • Lap video link

I added a lap vid for the Watkins Glen Lap also.

Gonna be running GTA @ NJMP?

I'm not sure yet. I only have 200TW tires for my car and have zero aero. My car will be out powered a significant amount I'm sure as well. BUT, it is my "home" track and I know it well. It would be a good exhibition event for my car for sure though.

Most notable observation, they wear like iron. Here's the FL tire after ~20 hours of track time completed last weekend:




They are known to wear like this, which is why they are popular in street tire limited endurance racing series'.

But, they have good grip for the wear they offer. Not like RE71R or Rival S grip, but those tires would likely be wrecked in 6-8 hours on my car.

They were predictable, made some noise, but quieter than Falken's. They didn't drop off in grip throughout the weekend. The fastest lap of the weekend was set in the last hour of the race. They will likely be heat cycled out of grip before they wear out.

In cool rain they were a bit scary, but the car is also raw and not setup well for the rain (throttle response, rear diff, etc.)

Glad you like them! I'm used to the RS2 and RS3 but haven't had a chance to try them out. your review is definitely appealing!

Ran 1:54.5 @ buttonwillow cw13. I think high 52 to low 53's are doable with current setup.
updated.

Updated!

That's RAD!!! I used to have a gs300 with ls swap.

1:31 is very respectable from a non-performance true 4 door sedan!!!

What tires, brakes, Do you have any aero? any pics?

[240sx_sr20det]

What if I had an Evo? Can I still post lap times?

Nice. Original RT615K or the +?

And how was the rear? You ever mess with anything per our NRR discussion?

OG RT615’s, not even “K’s”, much less “+”! I haven’t done much yet. I need to do the trac arm setup as shown in the Motoiq vid, but with 2 track days in December, I didn’t have much time... I went to Big Willow Dec 8th, but didn’t beat my 1:38, the track or tires didn’t feel very grippy, only ran 1:39’s. Of course that 1:38 is from early 2009, so comparing is pretty difficult... Plan to take January off so I can fiddle with it before the Nissan Challenge starts in February.
