Hi Steve, did you just buy that 34 off someone from the forums? Thought i saw it for sale a while ago.

Anyway, what's your price range? Different people will have different opinions on which tyres to get. Really depends on how much you want to spend. 19s might be a bit pricier.

yeah the silver 34 from qld, im the proud owner!!!

ive been checking ebay and they're around 300-350 each tyre depending on brands. i dont really want to spend big, but i dont want shit either. ill spend if i have to type thing

Wanlis are ordinary. But, surprisingly, took me to a 1.9 60ft a the drags.

They are CRAP in the wet.

A whole bunch of us run Hankook K104

They are very reasonably priced, wear extremely well, and are very grippy.

Then there's the new Hankook K107 S1Evos or something. Grippier again.

at the size you have, all tyres are going to be expensive.

Yeah I found Hankook (Ventus) K104's to be cheap and good. They are silca rubber, which is supposed to mean a longer wearing boot.

I had 235/40/18's and 265/35/18 and got them supplied/fitted/balanced & 4 wheel alingment for $960 new!

Not bad in average wet/dry driving, but like all street treads, they heat up on the track and get slippery.

for 19's... if you are spending $230 a tyre its going to be a death trap.

I put sumitomo's on my 18's @ $300 each... possibly the worst tyre i have ever used.

Useless in the dry, dangerous in the wet.

I should have gone a more expensive option

If you have 19's, expect to be paying around $400 for tyres.

Considering they are posibly the most important thing on a car, i wouldnt be looking to skimp

hi guys

i just got a qoute for those Hankooks k104 $340 each tyre

275.30.19 rear

235.35.19 front

is this a good price?????

tyrepower have been trying to sell me "Marshalls" for $300 each tyre

265.30.19 rear

235.35.19 front

Anyone heard of these "Marshalls"???????

Are they Any good???

need some advice PLEASE.

steve

I used Pirelli P-Zero Nero and they were ACE! It's going to hurt your wallet getting decent rubber for 19's, it hurt for my 18's but it's a must. That's the pirce you pay for large rims. You'll kill yourself with sh|t rubber in a Skyline.

I'm using Hankook K107's on the rear at the moment. They do the job but no where near as good as the P-zero.

ive gone for the Hankooks K104

its booked in for the morning. $335 per tyre Fitted & Balanced.

im getting ready for the SAU cruise tonight.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
