You can't compare the hankooks to RE55, its a whole different class... i had the hankooks on my car and found them to be pretty good for the price... i've got a set of yoko advans on there now which aren't bad, might be a touch better than the hankooks, and i've got a set of SP9000s ready to go on next so will see how that goes. I have RE55s for track and you can't even begin to compare them to any street tyre...

Yes im completely aware they are a whole different class of tyre, thats why i added "another fact to bear" is that i had used them. i was running the hankooks with my GTR making 500ish HP and felt it deserved much better rubber, but yes unfortunately price plays a factor but i feel its worth mentioning that an extra grand on top of a set of tyres is nothing if it keeps you out of the bushes! And like i said, he may like them and we all expect different things, they were comfy to drive around on and werent bad straightline acel in the wet. be interested to hear his review, and see some pics!!

cheers

Hi again,

I drive the car every-day and straight line performance and wet day ability is my concern .

Lets face it ,if you try to fling a gtr around a Melbourne Street Corner at 80KM's an hour in

the wet no-matter what performance tyre ,you are asking for trouble.

Also you need to take into account the car is driven more than 10000KM's per year.

I am looking at doing some track work soon ,but I am a Newbie at this so I will not be testing my abilities to the limit.

I will post up a picture soon ...so all can envy. :)

Thanks again for your replies.

Cheers

well if this is the case then you'll prob be happy with them. I was coming from an angle of hard driving, but as mentioned, straight line accel and comfort is decent..

what are the specs of the beast? sorry if youve posted them already, i havent been browsing for a while! really 700hp?!

hey dude, nice! how are the tyres going for you?

is that stock ride height? I cant wait to get my gtr back on the road!!!!!!

SLY33 they are stock height and feel good.

I bought the car with standard rims,the lock nuts and bolts how ever were aluminium.

The suspension is Ohlin's and quite bumpy.

This was my concern and the reason I started this thread, I did not want it to get any worse.

I had always thought they took a good set rims off this car from the start.

You would not believe it ,the car now drives like it should have these rims and tyres.

Hardly any bumps and better control. :P

Maybe the suspension was tuned to 10 INCH Rims and wider tyres.

I am not sure , but ride ,turn and feel has changed for the better. :P

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
