I'm getting tyres fitted Saturday. I'm looking at a 245/45-18 as there is a greater choice in that size. Also thinking of a 235/45-18 to get a little stretch to help clear the guards. Not that big of a choice in that size either. I like the fact the 245/45-18 is a little taller than stock to help correct the spedo a little. I'm assuming all m35's read higher than actual speed. Just hope they don't hit the guards on bumps or steering lock.

I'm looking at nexen n1000, anyone had any experience with these?

Are nexens that much cheaper then say, KU31's? You should be able to get KU31's in that size for around 180-200 per corner...surely they're better then nexens?

Thats stupid. If you want ku31s, isn't there a sponsor on here that does them?

Otherwise call sa motorsport tyres, www.samotorsporttyres.com.au, and tell mark I sent you.

Agreed!

I ran AR-X 18x8 +40, but when I went to V35 18x8 +30; looks so much better! Consider +30 the absolute minimum; then get a little braver.

Also make sure you don't go too small on rolling dia, even 20's can get swallowed up in those big wheelarches if you go too low a profile.

ARX Rims are 7.5 wide, but I agree 8" wide +30 would fill the guards nicely.

Hmmm, I'm sure they're 18x8"; I never measured them though.

My 350GT rims are 18x8" and the tyres were stripped from the AR-X rims & fitted to the 350GT rims; fitted exactly the same.

Same sidewall angle; everything.

What brands do SAMotorsport tyres sell?

Check out their web site. They can get just about anything, but bread and butter is federal, hankook and silverstones.

I dont understand why people buy nice new wheels and put shitty nexen/nankang/generic crap on them. Grip ftw! :thumbsup:

Ok so far the best price I can find is $266 each for a ku31 in a 245/45-18.

are these better or worse....Please note that they are 19's

My preference is to go for these this time around though!

I'm looking at 245/40-19's.. Kuhmo KU31 for $205 a corner or Yokohama EP400 for $230.

Paul, I really don't know my tyres but how about Kuhmo KU19's? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/18INCH-245-45-18-kumho-ku-19-100y-/130572666135?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e66bcc517

I'm really happy with the ku31 on my 180sx. Im not sure how quiet they are though as the car is quite loud.

I think I'll just hunt around for the cheapest price on a ku31.

They are the same (KU31). Nice price for 19's, shipping does kill the savings a little though....

For anyone considering tirerack - My shipping was $270 shipped to my door. 4x 19" tyres. Sure is a great service.

Oh and KU31 > KU19.

KU19 comes as OEM on korean shit cars...

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
