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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
