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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
