Hi,

Looking for some input in anyone who has run the following tyres on a gtr.

I have limited my choice down to the following 3

Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec

Potenza RE-11

ADVAN Neova AD08

In 255/40/R17

I had a quick look at both Pirelli (P-Zero) and Michelin (Pilot Sport) however all the review had a similar theme great tyres but extremely poor life. Which is an issue as i will be running these tyres on the street and maybe the odd track day (Until my RE55s arrived).

I'm heading towards the Advan as they seems to give very good grip and also have good life (tyres can be rotated side to side unlike the RE-11)

Not really heard much about the Direzza here in australia?

Any input would be great

The pilot sports will out last every tyre you have listed there with P-Zeros being a close second.

The tyres you are looking at have softer rubber and a short life approximately 60% of the life of pilot sports. The AD08's RE11's Z1's are all specially designed for autocross events.

Guys, I'm going to jump in here too cos I have a quick query.

I need to replace a front - just got R34 GTR rims for my R33 Gtst (S2) and they came with 245/40 (R18) Potenza RE01Rs front and RE01s rear, but one on the front has gone flat (guy sold it to us with a hole in the bead seal and tried to cover it up. Now not sure whether to replace with another RE01R (up to $450 ea) or go down to 235/40 - car is only stock so 245s seem like overkill on front. If I do go down, considering I have RE01s on the back, I wonder whether to replace with a cheaper option like 2 x Federal 595s off ebay. No issues with having 2 different tyres and tread patterns?

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
