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:

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.

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

http://www.tirerack....ark=1&x=20&y=15

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

anything is better than the shit I had on there!

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

WTF Craig? Planning a move to Canada in Winter? Those are SNOW Tyres!!!!domokun.gif

I have the Extreme Contact DW...

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...

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
