Well after having the KU31 Kumho on the M35, I wouldn't get them again! they are NOISY!!!

I run the ku31 on the front of my 180sx but due to the exhaust I couldn't hear them at all. Now on the M35, being a quite car, they are quite noisy. I will definitely buy a different tyre when these need to be replaced.

Wow, really? I didn't really notice extra noise when I fitted mine; maybe my original tyres were noisy too. What will you be looking at next time?

I'm not sure what I would get next time. These aren't a reall lot quieter than the jap snow tyres that it came on. One tyre shop said the ku31 is noisy and should look at the ku21. I should have listened.

I only stuck with the ku31 as I knew they gripped nicely in dry and wet. Didn't realize that on a quiet car they would be this noisy.

When I took mine back to AM Performance, Andrew said he would build to the noise level you want.

Theres also those Jap exhausts which are supposed to be quiet.

I've got a mate in Melbourne that owns a couple of tyre powers, basically his recommendation for me/us was

mid range thats not going to cost the earth, have minimal road noise and still be a good tyre go for the Toyo T1 Sports

Anyone looked at this option?

Damn, I was going to pick up some KU31's as well.

Back to the drawing board I guess. I was really hoping to keep the set under $850.

The cheapest I found the ku31 was $262 each fitted. I might be a little picky about the tyre. Maybe some of the noise is due to needing a wheel alignment, the may have too much rear toe causing a bit of noise as it drags the tyre. Booked in for an alignment Friday so see how I go.

A mate of mine can sort me out for $205 per corner.. Ideally another friend will be able to fit them but otherwise I'll pay for them to be fitted. Just going to keep an eye out for other options in the mean time if there's something a bit quieter.

Dang thats cheap. I even tried places interstate but they couldn't get my size. I also figured if I bought them interstate they would be around $200-220 each, plus $60-80 freight for the four, plus another $20 each to fit. So it didn't really work out that much cheaper for me if any, plus I needed them asap.

On another note, Im starting to think the noise might be a wheel bearing. It sounds, to me at least, like its mainly coming from the front passenger wheel. Ill get a second opinion on it.

I bought a set of lock nuts from autobahn for $30. Very good quality set not cheap china junk. Also replaced all the other nuts with new chrome nuts in the smaller 19mm head size so the inside of the rims don't get scratched up. They where $4 each. Used a voucher from the entertainment book and only paid $75 all up.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
