What kind of driving do you do, and where? What's your budget? Those factors should most influence your decision.

It'd also be nice to post up the required sizes, for those of us that don't know what the dimensions of your stock tyre are.

ive got Nexan's on my 34 and ive found that they are really really good.....i used them when i had my 18's on, and now my 19's.

and GTT brakes will fit the GT (or gts in your case really), did it with my 34. was definelty a good thing to do, :down:

Just normal daily driving, and i can spend about $220 per tyre.

cant remember teh dimensions yet so il have to check,

Also was wondering seeing as i wanted to cange the rims the car came whith and now that i have to get new tyres i shoud get the whole lot done, i seen a few packages for about $900, not sure if that was per wheel and tyre or the whole set.

hey Cara, just curiosity.. whats involved/needed to changing to GTT brakes? :down: thanks!

um not much really......need to get the bigger rotor disc for the front (310mm), rear is the same size and the NA. um the metal bit that sits behind the caliper, like a guard thing, i had to have that taken off, other than that was pretty easy to do :D

bridgstone potenza adrenalin re001

got them for 180 a corner fitted and provided a very noticable difference in handeling and braking

cheers, they sound good for what i need

i got the impression the 34 gtt brakes wont fit right on without some modding to the hub as it takes a bigger bolt size, 33 gtst will fit straight on tho. thats what ive been told. anyone kind enuff to clear this up?

mmmm... i can't clear it up but i can say that 33 gtst brakes with abs and slotted rotors definitely pulls my car up fast. much more powerful then the standard gts brakes. so for an n/a, 33 gtst brakes would be heaps.

ive got r34 gtt on the front and r33 gtst on the back

i own a 33gts4 as well and from my experiences i found the NA brakes not working very well when they heat up (too small!!), when I'm braking hard before a corner doing about 140kmh I often have to depress the pedal till it pretty much touches the back to get some decent stopping power (mind the r33gts4s weights 1440kg) but after i wacked some rotors and calipers from a GTST on the car actually STOPS :P

    • 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
