I switched from the MT radials after breaking an axle trying to soften the llaunch with the wrinkle side wall. The second pass was a little better but the track prep was horrible and traction was a problem. I did win the true street competion that day and my best pass was 10.64@140.3mph. This was my highest mph to date and all the car has with out shifting to 5th gear. I was on the rev limiter just before the lights . Maybe a 3.3 diff is in my future. The car ran great and ran multiple 10 sec passes all day. This thing should go low 10s all day long with good track prep. For those interested the front wheels are weld aluma stars 17x4.5 and clear the bigger 06-08 brakes just fine. They are a bit pricy but the are not special order and usually in stock.

How do you like the M/T ET Streets compared to the M/T ET Street Radials?

Can you describe the difference in the Launch and Shifts?

I'm having trouble with the Radials Hooking Up in 1st gear, Plus very violent 1-2 shift when the tire Dead Hooks.

I also have a 6SP like you, that's why I ask.....

Thanks,
TimRod

The radials felt more stable on the big end but the bias plys are still ok. I need to get back to the track and get a few more passes to know how well they are going to work.

Im actually in the works now of doing a stroker single turbo now...

What are the spring rates for your nismo suspension ? I dont know the spec to the 350 but i am looking for something with a lower rate to allow better weight transfer that will fit my car. thanks again

Not sure on the spring rates but the car squats plenty hard and still handles great. Didn't spend a bunch of money on suspension just tried to keep it simple.
