nice.

have you tried the Hankook Ventus K104 's before? they are pretty grippy, and not $550 each!!

ALL other brands apart from bridgestone and yokohama are SHITE pirelli sux,michelin sux, hankook sux,toyo sux, khumo sux

you only get what you pay for.

when you have 300rwkw RUBBER AINT RUBBER

yeah man, I know - I now see you look at your car like I do at my bike

totally understand and good on ya!

enjoy :P

Well thats a bit shallow other companies do make good tyres. As i beleieve michelin make pretty good f1 tyres. And i'm a huge fan of there motorbike tyres. I like the feel of them and there roll.

Where as my dad likes bridgestone alot.

may i introduce u "R" compound tyre?

s-03<RE-01<RE55s

Those really are the shizzle! We have had a few of our customers change from Michelin Pilot Sport Cups to RE55S's. Cheaper, longer lasting, and better grip on the track :mad:

This one customer bought 12 sets of Michelin's. He paid up front, was pissed because he got charged delivery, fitted a trial set of RE's to see how they compared with the Michelin's, and then had the dilemma of trying to get rid of the Michelin's because he loved the RE's so much! :P

How do the Nitto's hold up?

I believe Whatsisname is still running a set, I remember 555 something on the sidewall.

Last I saw that was able to get a lot of first gear down, what looked like all of second and making close to 300rwkw.

I had brigdestone potenza's on my gtr which has just shy of 300 rwk's and got less than 5,000km out of them. Now at $350 a trye, I thought they were s__t. :D

Now a mate at Affordable Wheels and Tyres told me to try the Hankook K102 tyres . They stick better in all weather and last 3 to 4 times longer. Now at $145 a tyre you tell me Price matters

By the way my tyre size is 225 50R16 92V

Thats my thought's anyway :ermm:

I have another on the cards..

A set of Federal SS595, apparently one of the better ones.

I believe Sky30 has tried a whole range of tyres on his rb30det 300rwkw rwd thing. These apparently came out on top for grip and were suprisingly cheap.

As cubes said, i have tried a few brands of tyres with my 300rwkw rb30det including Hankook, Toyo, perelli, and found the Federals to definately give the best grip, and last just as long as the others.

You only have to look at Theo Woollett's GTR that runs

9 second 1/4 miles on a set of Federals.

(And they are cheap at $160 for 225/45/17")

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
