I have Nexen N6000 on mine. Brand new came with the car when I bought it from the dealer. They are not bad for what they cost. Slightly more road noise at high speed and rough surfaces compared to expensive stuff like the Bridgestones. Grip is good and they are comfortable. Can't say much about the wear as I have got them for 2 months.

Just a heads-up on purchasing all, I just got my rear set of Hankook K110s from www.tirerack.com and they cost me $311 shipped for 285/30/19. The cheapest quote I got for the same tyre was $430 locally. Shipping cost for four tyres to Melbourne (25km-metro) was around $250 USD.

Also it seems the Bridgestone RE001 Adrenaline in America is called the Bridgestone RE760 Sport and they're really cheap compared to local prices. If you can afford to spend a wee bit more, the Yoko AD08s are awesome value.

The only catch is some credit cards that are not on the "Verified by VISA" program will not be approved and you'll have to make a USD wire transfer, which can usually be done for a small fee by your bank.

Delivery was done by fed-ex and they arrived within a week of payment. I will definitely be buying all my tyres from these guys from now on (except my Advan A050s seeing they don't have them).

That's because the RE760s aren't the same as RE001s. The tread pattern is the same, but the tyre compound isn't.

The RE760s have a treadwear of 340, whereas the RE001s treadwear at 220.

Hi Guys,

i bout some new ku31's for $200 each from Option1 garage (225/40 R19 and 245/40 R19)

7 Remora St Hamilton QLD 4009 Phone: +61 7 3268 1113 Fax: +61 7 3268 2028

then just email/call and discuss price, i got them delivered to the comliance shop and even they couldnt get them at that price so they were a little shocked. I bought them about 2 months ago and cant complain, even in today wet weather the car hasn't slipped out on me as yet but a little bit noisy but its not annoying, any tyre will produce noise.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

ahhh time to buy tyres again.

Just bought 295/30/19 Pirelli P-Zero. $900 each :P lucky its only for the rear so i only needed 2, the fronts got a bit more left on em but i need to replace soon.

The negative 2.5 degrees camber has been eating away at my tyres, the price u pay for the look :P

Shit thing is i cant swap / rotate the 295's, but the 265/30/19 on the front i can swap them from each rim.

Yeah, the v35 sucks with the largish camber. Can't really square them up without getting aftermarkets. I'm running -2 on the rears.

For some reason, one side could go to -0.5 and the other side couldnt get under -2 :S

Previous owner(s) must've hit the kerb pretty hard or something?

My car comes with i think the stock Bridgestone Potenza. Anyone know how good they are compared to those tyres mentioned here? Thanks!

Think there are quite a few potenzas? What model. Think it reads RE002 or something?

All I know is that the Potenza is a fairly expensive tyre!

Running on faulken f452's ATM, not bad but it is uneven tyre wear that will make any tire make noise. I am running on 350Z nismo suspension at the moment and the camber is doing a good job of eating the inside of the tyres.

The rims I got originally came with Bridgestone S02's & T02's, the T's are a run flat, which was disappointing when I had a blow out, hence the change, but the bridgestones were better grip wise.

I have had moments with the current tyres in the wet when you can feel that the ABS is going to start, and yet on the old Bridestones you could almost put your foot to the firewall and you just stop, without that felling that the ABS is about to jump in.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
