I think it is nick. As far as I know front and rear were resprayed due to accident. Never had a full respray

yeh, had a full respray a few years back to slightly different colour...

quick question to anyone that can help I need to know fast how much should I be paying for some half decent tyres for my GTR? 18x10" 265s on all 4 currently have some bridgestones on but need new ones or can anyone recommend something decent value for money? car is street / track day once every 3 months.

thanks in advanced

lol @ KU36 semi slicks on a daily driver. Hope you enjoy changing tyres every 3 months.

FWIW I get 265/35/18 KU36's for $240 a pop.

I'd recommend a KU31 for dailies or a KU17 for best bang for buck.

Also I get Federal 265/35/18 595-RSR's for $350 each

Kumho are reasonably good quality as a tyre (better than the other 3 i still have on! ) but id get something in a Toyo if you can...last forever :( and grip well enough. I cant say what their performance tyres are like, the only set ive had were on the N16... 185s! lol. but they were a comfy ride :P

Kumho's I think are a best all-rounder and they cater for all types of driving and a lot of ppl I see recommend it.

Toyo's are top of the range as my mechanic thinks.

Bridgestone's / Yokohama's all do a good job, but you would pay a bit.

I had Yokohama Advans, nice tyre but were harder compared to my Kumho's.

Pretty sure thats my 'odd one out' (my only half decent tyre)

Ecsta SPT KU31...does a good job. Just have to replace the other 3 cheap Fullrun compliance tyres lol

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
