i POPPED MY TIRE.

and its so bs.....some c**t left a massive rock (and i mean massive) behind a curve as i was turning (u so could not see dat shit) and bang...my tire pops. tired to put my spare tire on but the thing was bolted down like no tm (proberly with a gun) so i had no chance with the jack and tools to get it off. had to tow it away for 320 bux.

now its sittin at home with half the tire fallen off.

guys wat do i do.....i no i need a new tire but how much does that stuff cost? i dont want some dodgy tire i want the original ones if i can.

own a fully stock R34 17"

i no its just a flat tire but ffs its exspensive

no major dmg to the rims just chips....nothing really

starting from 120? well i really want the same type of tires i have on the other 3 wheels or it will look a lil weird. can i get the factory tires somewhere? and how much? 120 sounds like a dodgy tire lol

where do u sugest i get my tires from?

dunno if i'd be keen to replace it with exactly the same thing if it's prone to "pop" the first time you run over something...

now might also be a good time to go all the way around the car and check if the rest of the wheel nuts to see ify ou can budge them to save the same thing happening again.

dude if you hit any Massive rock there is a good chance you will scrwe your tyre it wont matter what you have... also i would be checking you have not cracked you rim...

one other thing i dont understand why you must have all 4 same tyres ??? it's not going to make you uncool like anyone will even care or be able to see when you are driving past them at 80kms an hour :)

one last thing the tyres on them no would not be "nissan factory items" your would be 7 or 8 years old and would have been replaced a couple of times within this time. probably also at compliance so ring around a few shops and see if they have the same ones you have.

i hope you were trying to undo the nuts whilst the car was still on the ground. you need to loosen the nuts whilst it's on the ground. then jack it up and take them off. otherwise you've got no chance.

seem obvious!

but good point! :)

wat urs brand of the tyres on it?

and offset, and i can tell u how much it cost for each!

Lol dude think you a little lost..

Check your tyre (the rubber) sidewall and see which brand it is.. Its not that hard..

Then go a tyre shop and ask them if they sell the same brand..

Thats all to it..

You dont have to take your whole car there..

Take the poped tyre with the rim, and they will do the rest for you..

Then come back home, and fit it on..

i guess thats the best choice....thanks guys

320 bux for a tow? Ouch, was it from Melbourne to Geelong? lol.

And you should of been able to get those bolts off, even if they are done properly with a gun, assuming the threads on the studs weren't stuffed.

Ya reckon?

I live not too far from a tip, and theres shite all over the roads all the time... I've hit all sorts of things at all types of speeds, ranging from rocks, bricks, lumps of wood, chunks of metal, branches, small animals, fallen road signs, and pot holes big enough that the council could charge entry as a swimming pool if they filled it with water.... from my experiences the wheel itself is more likely to cop damage before the tyre, but I'll just put it down to luck that I haven't had damage to either thus far.

Having the correct tyre pressure may also have something to do with this... not many people seem to care about correct tyre pressures any more.

:)

lol i am really surprised then oh well i guess they are built tough which is good because i have a set of 34 rims on my car... though i am yet to hit anything like what you have listed below :D

Compared to the cost of owning an R34 the cost of one tyre is negligable.

Take your wheel off and take it to Bob Jane and tell them what you want, I'm sure they could organise it for you. It's a good idea to keep the same tyres on the same axle as each tyre will have different characteristics and grip levels

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
