Know quite a few of you are using them and rave about them.

Need two new rears and I'm thinking of giving them a try. However I'm not sure which type to get. The car is a daily driver so I'm not convinced I want the RS-R simply because I like having some grip in the wet and I tend to chew through soft compound tyres very very quickly (T1Rs in less than 5k km o.O). I've read mixed reports on the SS so was considering the EVO. Thoughts? Also where best to get them from in the ACT?

Ok, to recommend the best tyre for you I need to know:

1. What size?

2. Is your car a daily driver?

3. What is your car's approx power at the wheels?

4. How many track days, hillclimbs, motorkhanas do you compete it (or plan to)?

5. How many kms would you travel in a year?

If you can answer these questions I can help out with the tyres :thumbsup:

Either 595's or the 595EVO's (which are now available) in 235/45R17 would be perfect...

I would suggest going for the 595EVO if you want slightly better grip than the 595's (the EVO's will be more comparable in performance to the Toyo T1R's), however - if you dont want to spend the extra cash the 595's will be great for your use and you should expect around 30 - 35,000kms if you drive hard... Keep checking your rotations and pressures regularly for maximum tyre life :P

yeah but Michael with a car a gutless as yours, with someone as bad as you driving it, who needs good tyres? you go slow enough to drive soap on ice and stay in control!

hahaha get back to work (like I can talk)

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
