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.... :)

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
