Hey,

My car came with some unusual tyres from Japan, they are not correctly speed rated for a GTR on Australian roads so they were replaced during compliance.

I believe they are snow tyres and look very new, plenty of tread on them.

Where can I sell tyres like this?

They were on the stock R33 17*9 rims, so 245/45/17 I think :)

Regards,

Gareth

just find out how good they smoke up?

Hahaha, how about you pay me some $$$, buy them and you can do whatever you like with them :)

Pics attached they are Yokahoma Iceguard and they are 245mm wide.

sell em to some drifters on nissansilvia.com

Might be a good idea, I don't have enough rating to post in the for sale section yet but I'll see what I can do ;)

Yeah im with Jar drifters love them. Or if you want to learn to drift or thinking of doing deca keep them.

On a GTR?

The R31 just won't fit tyres this large :P

I actually might keep it for Deca, that would be a lot of fun and I can save my normal tyres.

I'll get to Deca eventually probably later this year.

Thanks for the advice :rolleyes:

snow tires are worthless we get them for free.

They are like jelly for drifting so there shit, in the wet they are horrificly dangerous - youd think snow tyres would be good in the wet - they are more dangerous that tyres on belt in the wet!!!

They are only good for a good burnout session becuase they LAST for AGES!!

I used snow tyres once before on the GTR @ DECA and they were slippery. But not in a good way.

I thought snow tyres are designed to work @ a very low temperature to suit ice / snow conditions. Therefore they go off a lot quicker. So wont ripping skids @ DECA just delaminate the tyres very quickly. I know mine didn't last long @ high temperatures.

I have those exact tyres (same profile everything) on the back of my supra right now.

........and they SUCK!!!

The rear wobbles around heaps, they offer no grip, and they make so much damn noise - i hate them

(i knew i was buying crap tyres, but never knew just how bad they are)

Honestly, if i was given them for free all i'd do with them is go and do a few skids then get rid of them

EDIT: They're only rated to 80k's aswel which is pretty annoying. But mine have held together multiple times at a 3 digit number that i wont say on a public forum

youd think snow tyres would be good in the wet - they are more dangerous that tyres on belt in the wet!!!

Nah, there is less surface area touching the road due to the bumps/divots hence less traction. They are also not designed to channel the water very well so the aqua plain. Now I know less surface area is generally better in the wet eg. thin tyres will get more traction in the wet because the weight is distributed over a small area but not with snow tyres, they are just plain shit :P

I'd say your stuck with them mate, no one wants them lol.

PS - Pisser Troy!

ok i found a buyer....he wants to know if he can pay by paypal as there is no banks around him....or he will make a "direct deposit"

down your chimney when he comes to your place to empty his sack next year :(

paypal accepted, although considering he's more like a charity-type organisation I think I might donate.

Thanks for the serious replies, I guess I won't be using them at DECA :P

Oh, ylwgtr2 I think this thread needs you:

Who Thinks Non-gtr Owners Should Very Nicely Shut Up About How/what Gtr's Are Actually Like To Own And Drive. Mmmkay? But, Supra Owners Own All!, SUPRA POWA ! ! ! ! :)

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
