Hey guys. I have the fedral brand tyres on the rear which are 255/40/r17. They cost me $175 brand new fitted. They seem to be okay. Good grip etc. I am not sure how long i will get out of them though. They were the cheapest i could find round my area. Got them from lillydale.

Nice tread design on them.. bit out of my price range though.

Yeah mate i wouldnt by them brand new a bit pricey, very lucky to find them at $85 each. Just keep an eye out for seconds some places have them just fortunate enough there is a guy in Brisbane who deals in second 17,18,19 and 20" tyres.

i have the same tyres on the rear of my car atm similar price aswell.

i have nankangs on the fronts.

they seem to grip ok but they are a new tyre only a few weeks old, so until they loose a bit of there tread u wont really see much of the grip factor, but they seem pretty grippy for the price at the moment......

nankangs are about 30,000km old and still goin strong but they are on the fronts so not lossing traction at all which saves a bit of rubber.

Guys....get back on the subject.

New performance tyres under $300.

Not second hand for Fiddy bucks .

Or nankangs for hundred cause i don't go faster than hundred :laugh:

What is the point of saying..

I got a set for free given to me by my uncle and they are great and have lasted me 20000KM's

Hey guys well i took the advice of whoever said the falken 452's and im glad i did they are awesome. i dont know bout getting a set for $1100, but they are bloody good. i paid $326 per tyre, i only needed two, and they were 255/35/18. apparently they are falkens flagship tyre, overtaking the 451's, and im heaps happy.

i dont condone anything illegal and all that crap but just for measure, a corner i used to be able to take at about 80km/h i can now do at 110km/h and feel HEAPS more safer doing it, like no half sliding out or anything its like a go kart lol. wet handling is fairly good too, usually i avoided driving at all in the wet due to traction but i can use about half or two thirds throttle with no spin.

hope this helps anyone looking for tyres.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
