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

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
