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

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!

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 ! ! ! ! :)

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
