OK guys,

Up for new tyres soon in 18s, 235 fronts and 255 rears. Ozzy quoted me $1150 for ST115s fitted which is an awesome price IMO. Bob Jane told me they are a discontinued line, recommended me the new range of ZE-329 for 1k fitted. I've done a google on them and chked the falken website but nothing on the new 329s. Anybody out there care to shed some light??? BJ reckon they are the new and better replacement for the crappy ZE326? Any info appreciated.

Thanks

Jon

Evidently you didn't "chk" very hard.

Judging by their recommended fitment, they look like they're for the same purpose that the ZE326's were for.

Which is, if the Australian government ever gets serious about road safety instead of piss-farting around then they'll ban retreads. At which point, these things will become the taxi tyre of choice. They may have about as much grip as a Jack Russell Terrier on wet lino, but you could drive on them until the end of time and never see the treadwear indicators.

U would think there would be an improvement from the ZE326. I'd like to hear from someone who has actually used them if there are any out there.

hmm fo $1k fitted for 235/r18 front and 255/r18 rear you could get toyo TPGs which are a pretty good little tyre.. lots better then the falcon ziex series

Have a search around for the Falken-451's. Apparently they've been superceeded so some tyre places are selling them off quick.

I got Falken-451 235/r18 front and 255/r18 down here in canberra (where we get ripped on tyre prices) for $950. They go alright i recon.

I've got ZE326's on my commodore and i've done almost 100,000k's on them and there only about 50% worn :) Can't imagine the ZE329's would be any better. Wouldn't be recommending them for a performance car but for a runabout there the bomb cos you never need to replace them :cheers:

Falken Ziex are horrible tyres...maybe fer a normal car they are fine, but not fer the skylines fer sure....the only falkens i would ever consider using on the street fer sports driving are the FK451 and ST115...of cuz the RT215 and RT615 would be better choices.... :)

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
