Need 2 new rear tyres to keep those friendly law enforcement officers at bay;

Nankang NS2's 255/40/17 - $170 each fitted and balanced - Brisbane mobile tyres

Maxxis 255/40/17 MA-Z4S - $239 each fitted and balanced - Bob Jane Tmart

I have the maxxis ones at the moment, never heard of nankangs. Question being... are nankangs any good or is it worth paying extra for the maxxis? Or is there somewhere else I should be out?

thanks

Nangkangs and Maxxis are a cheap everyday driving tyre which are not the greatest but will do the job if you are a sedate driver. If you plan on modding ur car HP wise, then try the Federals or even the Falken FK452. Both should be under the $300 mark each for those sizes and should keep you sufficiently safe on the road.

Where's the best place around Brisbane for Federals?

Jax Quickfit at Rocklea is the guy I go through, he gets his supply from Neta (who won't sell straight to individuals) always had the 595 RS's fkn brill tyre, just don't go hoofing it til their warm. Sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!

+1 for Federals you want cheap and good. for something top of the line.

Dunlop SportMaxx i think they are called....well worth the money for the grip. My next tyre will be those or semi slicks.

There is a massive thread in the suspension section. Should check that out.

BTW, as a defensive driving instructor we tell everyone to buy the best tyres you can afford. Best doesn't mean most expensive either.

I mean I love the dunlop SP Sport Maxx, but they arent cheap, and they don't last all that long even with my fairly sedate driving. So wear needs to be an issue to think about. On the cefiro it isnt, the Jetta it will be.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
