Hi all,

Its time to replace my tyres on my r34 gt-t.

At the monent i have the falken 451's and they're ok.

Just want to know what else is out there, i want GOOD tyres that are going to be able to cope with alot of power for a street car thats used for daily driving in wet and dry..

I dont bother ringing tyre shops as they try to sell me $140 family car tyres.

I want some professional advice please.

Thanks in advance.

When you say cope, is that traction or length of life?

Its not quite clear :laugh:

With big power, you wont have traction regardless of what tyre you use.

It more comes down to the driver how long and how fast the tyres will die.

You can fork out serious coin for big brand name tyres.

But if you cant restrain the right foot then you'll be due for a new set in under 6 months

Maybe head down to the Ferrari dealer and see what they put on the back of a 575.

That is a 500hp road car with road tyres, then just buy a set of whatever it uses.

I could only find the size which is 295/35ZR18 so hopefully they can fit.

i remember the standard tyres as being bridgestone s02. this was from a uk (EVO) magazine, so they may be different on a local model.

They are normally fitted with perelli P ones or get a semi slick street tyre

    • With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.
    • Scissor Jacks are an accident waiting to happen, the only time they should be used are in an roadside flat, even then a tyre and rim should be placed underneath 
    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
