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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
