All I have heard is complete praise for Dunlop FM901's. You may also find a set of Bridgestone RE711's will give you similiar ride quality when compared directly as an Ultra High Perofrmace tyre... each to their own.

Otherwise, Tire Rack will give you in-depth reviews, specs & ratings for most treads on the market. (Ie. FM901 Review)

I eventually got a set of Bridgestone S-03s put on today..

bs_s03.jpg

I havent had a chance to give them much curry.. but the little squirt around teh round about I had was impressive.. now I just need a better suspension setup :confused:

For the azz end I got a pair of 255/40 17, and the front 235/45 17..

Cost me around 1300 for the set.. *sighs*

I'll give them a decent road test and let you know how they go.

got Falken 451's, heaps heaps good. Can't fault them, apart from the rears tend to spin up off the line(traffic lights!!)

235x45x17 front

255x40x17 back

Fronts have worn a bit on the inside, but this is due to camber/allignment.

both have done about 35,000 and still have at least 35% tread

Good in the wet:uh-huh:

Well.. WHAT CAN I SAY!?

Took my car up through the twisties on these new tyres.. in my RWD 170rwkw gtst I out drove an r32 GTR, WRX, and an r34 GTR.. the car was on rails, and powered out of corners like no tommororow, they love the wet.. I was taking 80k/h corners at 5-6k rpm in 2nd gear with no wheel spin on wet roads.. and still powering out of corners..

im impressed.. i can not speak highly enough of them.

I've had a number of different tyres on my car in teh 2 1/2 years I've had my car... IMO, best bang for your buck tyres are the Falken Azenis ST115's... They're slightly more grippy than the FM901's, and slightly cheaper... On the downside, they don't last _quite_ as long... But still have a reasonably good life... I got almost a year out of the ones on the back of my car :D

Im thinking of spending about 1200-1300 all up.

also.. ive heard from multiple reliable sources that skyrines perform better with 255s on the ass, and 235s on the fronts..

The guys at the tyre place I am dealing with are suggesting the Pirelli P Zero Nero.

They reckon its grip is up with the best, but the ride quality is a lot better than most low profile tyres.

Anyone had any experience with them?

A set for mine will cost about $1800 fitted though.. ouch.

faulken grb's

for all you tight arses.. 255,40,17 i got four for 760 fitted and balanced

sure they dont gip as well as the yoki fl e-specs but i find that the only tyre that can hold up to a full day of drift at the creek without rippin the tread of to be fulken zeix(ful **** house) and the grb

downside is they dont sell the tune 2's anymore which were the grippier version, fk451 have slightly more gip than the grb's but they wear out extreamly quick(for the record they were 210 each). the st115(supposed to be good never had a set but they do were out as stupidly quick 270 each)

temple tyres 190 each sure it run by kabobies (several people said sic car bro is it a gtr)but i was in and out within 20 minutes. nice service i higly rcommend. especcially if you have been to a bob jane and they take 1.5 hours to get your car back on the road(but they do have a coffe machine)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
