My tip is dont be stingy. I had the worst tyres on my stock rims, and I lost it soooo many times in the wet, just from turning a corner without acceloration. I now have tyres worth over $250 each and they are a HUGE improvement. The car will now corner faster then what I'm prepared to take it, even side stepping the clutch in the semi-wet is difficult!!

I wouldnt reccomend the Sumitomos I have on my car, purely because of the price. However, if you have the money, go for it!! Otherwise, go for the most expensive you can afford, without going over the top like I did. So many people forget how important tyres are, they are what keep you on the road!!

Good luck!! :banana:

I love the Sumitomos, and only paid just over $800 including a wheel allighment because of a trade price discount, however it doesnt break traction like the old ones :banana: And they're too expensive to burn! Never again :) But they are fantastic for the main reason why I bought them

I was thinking the same thing, but costs too much to convert. Play around with your car for a bit, and when you get bored upgrade!!

At least you dont need to worry about boost kicking in when its wet and sending you out of control!

And I wont be the only NA on cruises :banana:

Best tyres i used on my 33 last time was the Bridgestone Potenza G3's... Man those f**king tyres stick to the road even when its really wet! I only started sliding around when theres only like 50% tread left..

They don't come cheap though.. if I have not mistaken I got a set for about $1400+wheel alignment 2 1/2 years ago...

Federal 595SS's are good tyres for a good price, I pay retail of under $200 a corner from a local tyre joint. Oh and they take quite a hammering too :cheers:

I had these on my old 33 a couple years back..

I have the 595 RS on this car, very nice but cost around double the 595 SS.

    • 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

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
