they're definately good value for money, but not for track or heavy performance applications.

i have them on mine. nylon sidewalls (as opposed to steel belted) means they can shake at high speeds, and crumple under hard braking.

i've had no issues with them, they were on the car when i got it, and will remain till they need replacing.

What do you guys think of Nankang NS-2 tyres? I heard they are a cheaper version of some Yokohama performance tyre

They're a "cheaper version of a Yokohama performance tyre" in the same way a Carmate fibreglass bodykit is a "cheaper version of a C-West carbon fibre aero kit".

I've driven on NS-2s, and in my experience they're great for keeping your rims off the bitumen. They don't grip too well, but if you're not making a lot of power or driving the car faster than the signposted speeds they're fine.

Agreed.

Two 15min sessions on these tyres around Oran Park GP circuit saw the rear belts showing, and the fronts almost showing too.

Car would squirm under braking and under power out of every corner. That said I'm not exactly making stock power.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
