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 :domokun:

Mind if I ask what local tyre place that is? Interested in getting some 595's but can't find many places in WA that have them. According to Federal's site, there aren't any dealers in WA, which we all know is a lie.

I run 225/45/17 at the front and 235/45/17 at the back (they didn't have any 245s :().

I think the name of the place is Watts Western Rubber or something, it's on Guildford Rd like 2 streets from my house and is painted up yellow and black with Dunlop logos.

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...

+1 for g3's got them n ma work honda hahaha need grip for deliveries

hell grippy even in wet weather too

n just lettin you know it's a shame but i think bridgestone have replaced the g3's with something else cna't member wot it's called

or even try yokohamas es100 if they stull make it grippy as :P

I had linglongs once.. they last long time.. because they're so fkn hard! Would spin 4th in the wet, 3rd in the dry and step out round wet corners without any throttle :P

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      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
