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

my 2c worth

ps: dont not ever go for ling longs

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

Im gonna have to replace my tyres soon .... any suggestions ?? Brendan said to get Goodyear F1's .... Rhys i didnt know Sumitomo

are like quite good tyres ... they were on my front when i got the car .... Sumitomo HTR Z II i think ... how much would it cost tho ??

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
