Any one here used Potenza G3's, RE-01, Toyo T1R, Toyo R1R?

Im in need of new tyres and thinking of one of those tyres. Also are the R1R a semi slick?

thanks Luke

My R34 came with 255/40/17 G3s on the rear and they were absolutely awesome in all conditions. Problem is due to the unusual size, when I went replace them was quoted over $400 each. Fail

im going the G3's on the silvia for the fronts next practice.

ill find out how they hold up compared to the bridgestones ive got now that after 2 track days, their already ready to be moved to the rear to be finished off haha.

You actually want to use a KKR turbo?!

Okay.

im using a kkr330 turbo on the drift car but the internals are all replaced with garret gt28 stuff.

pretty awsome turbo, comes on boost pretty hard all the way to redline!

I went to look at a 34GT-T at Torque Motorsport on the weekend, ment to have done 64,000kms yet the interior was more warn then mine and i have done 109,000kms....

They wont give you any history either. Or let you drive it until you negotiate a deal, signing papers saying you will buy it subject to the test drive.

Why the hell does there have to be so many dodgy Skylines around. Gives me the shits.

Sounds all like Synergy Motorsport to me!!

Mate looked at a Supra, had to sign papers and put down a non-refundable deposit, etc after a test drive even though he wasn't keen on it at all after the test drive.

I'd steer away from them then. Sounds dodgy as. Reckon they've turned back the odometer?

you dont *have* to do jack. If you've driven it and dont like it, just walk away.... and if they point a firearm at you to make you sign it, the contract is void as per terms of duress

-D

Yeah I think there is something up. With KMS that low the interior should be immaculate, the wear on the steering wheel and gear knob was really bad and there were a few holes in the carpet under the drivers mat. Everything inside was more warn then mine.

The engine sounded healthy and looked clean but it could have been replaced. Cant drive it to test the gearbox which is a pain!

There was also a bit of the body kit burned/discoloured from the exhaust. My dad said it looks like a respray on it, and it only had one tyre guard which was a bit odd.

I tried to get some history but all they say is they get them from interstate and there is a privacy request....

rofl at privacy request on a used car.........I would've laughed my brains out all the way to the door.......and that would put me off any seller like that for good.

that's it just take your money else where! i buy my car when they let me test drive and if they seem a bit worried then i'll let them hold on to my license!

All imported cars look clean, especially the engine, after it's been blasted and cleaned in quarantine!

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
