got a set of rays on my 33, and the rears are 9" wide and the fronts 8"

what combo should i go for? i want good traction on the rear while still have good steering @ the front...

thanks guys

been getting quotes and have come up with some bridgestone potenza's RE001's

setup they gave me was 235/45/17 and 255/40/17

quoted around $1100 fitted.

anyone got suggestions?

cheers

That sounds pretty good. I would take that. Remember, width doesn't always mean better traction. Its the quality of the tyre that counts. The bridgestones will last well and perform well too. You could get cheaper tyres in that size, but rather pay the extra and get something quality.

Stick with the bridgestones for sure. Have a read of the tyres reviews. Its a sticky in this forum.

To give you an idea, I was looking at getting the same tyres, but in 235x40R18 size. Got quoted $1360, so your price is alright :down:

cool, looks like i'll prob go with the potenza's

btw ballpark figure how much does it usally cost to repair damaged rims around the lip e.g. surface/gutter scratchs? they are dished rays wheels

You might be able to do it yourself depending on how bad they are. To get someone to do it, they will charge at least $70-80 if its minor. If its major work to get fixed, then it will be more.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
