GTR wheel is 16x8 so I would go a 235/40 or a 245/35 etc. I wouldn't really recommend any cheap tyres as you get what you pay for. With 16" wheels a decent tyre shouldn't be overly expensive anyway. Give Wheelworx a call I'am sure they can point you in the right direction.

i get my rear tires from used tyre mart.....WONT skimp on the front end, cos they stop n steer.

i got a pair of conti sports 225/45/17 with 80% tread for $80 ea :cheers:

i cant afford new rears all thee time, my mech 2-way makes short work of them, and the guys there are heaps helpfull.. they let me choose the ones i want.

The terms 'good' and 'cheap' are contradictions, and should never be put together. As others have said, tyres is the one thing you definitely should not EVER skimp on. If they save your life once, then they are more than worth spending a little extra money on. How much is your life worth?

I cant understand one thing , People spend a heap load of money on turbos intercoolers all types of engine mods yet they want shit second hand tyres or just cheap new tyres, have you all forgotten one thing, the only thing between you and the road are your tyres and our a stoby pole. I work for a tyre company and i see all types of crap and trust me CHEAP MEANS CRAP . going back a while today tonight did a test on all brands of tyres and cheap tyres are just that cheap. So guys and girls have respect for your babys (beasts) spend a little more and buy tyres that you can say and spell. I mean buy a brand Name Eg: Dunlop , Goodyear , Bridgestone , Yokohama , Toyo , Pirelli , Michelin

anyway thats my rant lol

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
