I would not trust my line with $90 tyres full stop , but for a few extra bucks It could save your life or someone else's .

High power car with cheap tyres , Why dont you just drive your cars on an ice road . (just plain stupid)

Do your research first boys and girls .

They tell you that 20% rule of thumb, just to sell more tyres :D

Well better an experienced driver/racer on 20% worn Continentals or Bridgestones, than a P-plater hoon with race rubber.

Cheap price does not mean cheap tyre.

looks like i'll be after a cheap set of rears for my car to cover a few months before i have some spare cash for good ones, all these trips to melbourne have killed my tires, just a cheap set of bridgestones will have to do (don't want to go to crap)until i get them fitted my car is off the road :D

I'm selling the track bike now, with tyre warmers, race stands, spare gearbox, fairings, levers etc.

Ready to hit the track, ready to race.

2002 GSXR 600

$5000 for quick sale

thats a decent deal IMO

any engine work?

Im a fan of the hankook k104 ventus tyre

17's but Im sure you can find 18's somewhere

not much road noise, good sidewalls, dont get out of hand either on a 200kw stagea

thats a decent deal IMO

any engine work?

Engine is stock on the inside, although it comes with a full Leo Vince race system, 750 USD forks, RaceTech valves etc.

I do have Yoshimura adjustable cam gears and cams to go into it, I just never got around to it (after the workshop had my bike for 6 weeks and still hadn't fitted them before a race day, so I took my bike back and never went back to finish the job).

Its a decent deal because I have too many bikes ... I won't be racing this season due to broken shoulder ... so I'm selling for quick sale.

  • 2 years later...

I smashed my 34 because I bought shit tyres which went hard quickly (well harder than when I bought them) and then I spun the car and put it in the wall .. Write off.. High performance car, high performance tyre.. no other option unless you use it as a daily and dont put your foot down (which if anyone says is them is a lier!)

learn to drive? :)

haha as long as you got good tyres up front and have decent car control you shouldnt be having any issues... :( everyone loves a bit of fishtailing.

unles youre still running hicaids... then get rid of that shit too :D

/shit stirring

The issue is that he dug up an old thread from 2 years ago, in which the OP's question was extensively answered, and added to irrelevant garble that would be MUCH better suited for discussion in the wasteland. If every user went and dug up an old post and posted some crap in it, imagine what the forums would look like in a weeks time. You need to examine the other side of the coin once in a while guys.

too true, it can go to shit pretty quick. i dont really need to know about someone looking for replacement valve caps in 1989

on the flip side i should get mad props for posting a humorous yet relevant picture

on the flip side, i might be considering 18" rims (which I am) and wondering about what other people on the forums are paying for their 18" tyres...

    • 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.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
