I just picked up 4 silverstones for 119 each! :)

Sorry to say this bud but IMO Silverstones are craptastic, yea they are ok when you first drive on them and you go "Hell yea these are awesome value" but seriously not even 20% worth of wear and they become absolutely shocking especially in water, I have a fairly stock standard car only with a few mods pushing ~200rwkw and no shit when it rains these tyres would pretty much always spin even before hitting my stock turbo it got so frustrating I ended up starting in second just so I didn't look like a dick to everyone around me if you want budget i think my best experience has been MAXXIS don't remember which ones but I was fairly impressed moving on from Silverstones to them

Sorry 139 each!which included balancing and fitting!Thought that was pretty good! I could have got tyres of an unknown brand for under 100 each but f**k that, unless you want to be buying more a few months down the line or pulling your car out a ditch!lol

WTF is Silverstone? A Pokemon crystal or something?

lol, I seen that sign on the way home from work to. I made the mistake back on my P's with my VS commodore at the same place when they use to be The Tyre Factory and they put on some cheap ugly looking "kinforest" tyres. I never really drove the commodore too hard they kept me on the road for the rest of the year till I sold the piece of crap. Not sure what there $100 special is now though :P

I've got Maxxis tyres on two of my cars and have been very happy with them. They're not budget tyre sort of cheapness though...

Haha I know I was so pissed with the quality of Silverstones I went back and told them I don't care if you give me something a little more expensive just don't give me this shit again, in terms of quality vs price its the best I've found so far

Agree. I have Maxxis MA-V1 on the Cube: http://www.maxxis.com/AutomobileLight-Truck/High-Performance/MA-V1.aspx and Maxxis MA-Z1 on the Pulsar: http://www.maxxis.com/AutomobileLight-Truck/High-Performance/MA-Z1-Victra.aspx

My only complaint is they're incredibly noisy.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Only if you do not You will not be able to drive it with any serious load without risk of it pinging, which will either slowly or rapidly kill it, depending on how bad it is.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By 677_GTR · Posted

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.
