Hello, something like the new Falken Azenis RT615 is a great tyre because it has very high all round performance with out the very high price tag and they last really well to, to top them off, they may not look it but they are classed by falken as just a normal street tyre, (Top of the range) value for money I don’t think you can beat them!

I got two 225-40-18 for $660 delivered for the front of my Gts-t and they are Excellent on the street and great out on the race track for grip and I am getting some for the rear soon as well, because the front had so much grip the crappy rears could not keep up.

Best Priced place to get them from is at

Cheers, Raymond

Welcome to the wonderfull world of GTR..

Witch one is it?

How much power is your GTR making and what do you plan doing with it? Do you really need a triple plate clutch???

I'd suggest getting another clutch... I drive my GTR with an R3C (o.s. giken triple) everyother day, my GF also drives my car... but it will never be easy to use! (thats why I love it!!! oh, that and the wine of a dogbox) But I run 390 plus rwkw on the street :-)

Get a Jimm Berry single...

As for tyres... what do you do with your car? If you just drive it on the street, get a good street tyre, if you wan't to race a little get somthing like the Azenis... Horses for courses, if you get a semi comp style tyre, be prepared to have them wear faster...

Feel free to drop by for a chatt if you like (Justin at Kamikaze)

hey my 2 cents.

Hey thanks

I wouldn't have a clue how much power it has but once the forged pistons are in we are going to put it on the 4wd dyno and check it out. One thing i know is that it has alot of torque when it is running 23 psi on the way back from Devonport!!!!!!! Wooooooppps :D I doubt you have seen it since it wasn't on the road for long. If you haven't heres a pic

Im not a hundred % sure exactly what engine work it has done but i do know it has N1 turbos, HKS injectors, bigger cams, brembos on the front, triple plate, coil overs and i think the fuel pump has been upgraded too. And forged pistons soon in a new block.

As for what im going to do with it.......BOOST it i reckon :D. That clutch will be a bitch if i need to go through town

OK...

First things first. GET IT ON THE DYNO!!! No more 24psi!

Second thing, why do you need new pistons and a new block? Need a new block wtf???

Who's doing your work?

Get the thing back together, get it tuned, then don't bugger with it! I can highly recomend Brad Sherrif (if your in Launie) or Kutzie.

As for your clutch, ditch it. If your not going to drag race, the sell it and get your self a good Jim Berry single plate, it'll be so much better to drive, your going to get sick of stalling or "launching" very quickly. You'll end up destroying your gearbox anyway...

It'd be a shame to wreck such a nice looking GTR... My GF is envious.

With that style of set up, it should be a nice quick thing, just piss that clutch off.

If you need any more help, let me now.

Steven Bell. It had already been boared out a few times and it was either put sleeves in or a new block.

I wasn't the one who was driving it on 23psi either when the engine went. The previous owner in Japan had put average pistons in which meant they were already weak. 5 had chunks out of the rim. They weren't quite shattered though

Arha.. thankyou.

Wow, that sux, having to re-block and re-build the thing as soon as you get it.

Oh and you can use a 2wd dyno, just drop the front shaft out of it.

Just get it tuned properly!!!

Even the best forged pistons in the world won't hold up if it's not tuned properly.

sorry to hijack ur thread Rosie....

but has anyone had experience with Falken Ziex Tyres? I believe the 326 not the 512 "all season" tyre.

Getting 18 x 9's on my Hr31 coupe and want it to grip.

Going coilovers front and rear and it currently has 200+ atw, shooting for 220-240rwkw soon.

cheers.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
