How much HP/Torque can the ABOVE average performance tire handle in both RWD and AWD before constant wheelspin/traction loss becomes a major problem while accelerating?
TLDR: How much power is too much for performance tires in order to be the fastest in a corner with minimal downforce on a street car?

Depends on a ton of things
Weight distribution
Overall Weight
Drivetrain
Limited slip or open differential
Temperature
Road Surface
So basically hard to say.

this is the sort of question only a bus rider would ask

Let's assume the car is
>front engine
>51/49 distribution
>3200-3500 lbs
>optimal LSD
That's pretty average for a high performance car application before you add another 500 lbs for AWD.

Okay lets see what you faggots really know about cars
I have a 1984 Nissan MK Patrol and it was having trouble getting into gears, clutch pedal bottomed out and I had to double clutch and all sorts to get it into gear.
The slave and master were both worn so I have replaced both of them with brand new cylinders and flushed it a number of times to remove all air.
The car after starting now wont go into any gears at all. Nowhere near. The pedal also now feels extremely soft.
What is happening?

What does /o/ think of the 350Z? Thinking about upgrading from my Miata to one of these, particularly the 2007 year model with the VQ35HR
>306 HP @ 6800 RPM
>268 ft lbs @ 4800 RPM
>7500 RPM redline
>VLSD
>6 speed manual
>3339 lb curb weight
>optional brembos
>multilink suspension
What should I know about these? They seem like a solid car. My friend had a G35 sedan and it seemed pretty punchy, the Z seems like it would be even better.

That was only on the 2005-2006 with the VQ35DE. It's my understanding that they fixed that in the VQ35HR.

hey guys,
Quick question for anyone living in california who has aftermarket shit on their car and successfully pass smog checks without knowing "a guy."
I have a Z32 that I've had for a while and am planning on doing a turbo/E85 conversion for fun as a project seeing as I've done more or less everything else I can to it. If the smog station I usually go to doesn't check under the hood, could I get away with having an e85 tune with the turbo with my end build horsepower and no fucks given about emissions alongside a detuned 91 octane tune that passes emissions and still has the turbo on?
I don't really know much about turbos seeing as I've never worked on a car with on, so what I really want to know is, is there a way to have a tune that just doesn't use boost from the turbo? Would the blow off sound give it away?
Sorry if this is a stupid question. From what I understand at the end of the day I could also just have the two tunes I mentioned above and just pull out the turbo and have another set of tubing that returns it to stock when I go to smog it.
Does anyone else here do something similar where they have a 'built' engine they drive around on and then detune it for smogging once a year?

Do you actually live in cali? Because we actually smog every other year. I know plenty of mechanics that do this.
If you are in la or some shit be careful as they have sniffers on the highway.

The title says it all. Can anyone provide me tips? Im going to visit Japan in a few months and im trying to save up the money to import one. Will it be cheaper if I buy one there and import it back to Cali or am I just an /o/tard?

why not just buy one in the US and ship a jdm motor instead.

>>16342649
It won't. They're meme taxed here too. You're better off buying one in California and building it the way you want it.

Cheaper than me purchasing the car overseas while I'm in Cali. Also, what is the avg price of an 86 in Japan?

Delivery thread.
Today, I got an order for 3 Gluten Free pizzas. Alright, sorta hippie order, but hey, I'm not the one paying $48 for 3 10 inch pies.
I get to the address to find pic related.
I think that I've encountered peak Hippie. on the other hand, they tipped $10, so I'm not going to complain.

I have a second job delivering in some of Chicago's wealthiest suburbs. Working 25 hours a week nets me about $500-600.

I work ~35-40 hrs/week in a upper class suburb/lower-middle class rural mix delivery area of a smaller city, and make $350-$500/week just in tips, depending on how good of a week it is. I have a consistent schedule, which is great for making future plans. I can easily pay my bills and put some money away, and rent is super cheap, so I'm doing pretty well
