The rims would be OK on the track as i cant imagine Ant doing too much offroading or ripple strip jumps ;) But i agree with the Feds more due to the size of them!

ha cheers for the import guys..

i just looked again and pretty much decided to go with the nittos haha... im hopeless.

the nt05 isnt a full track tyre.. the nt05R is the proper semi slick, with the r type compound etc..

the tread wear differences of the two tyres are 200 nt05 and 240 for the federals..

so the nittos would just be a really grippy street tyre, and would still get 10k kms on them i think.. not like the proper semis where i would burn up the rubber on the steet within 2k kms..

so im kinda thinking i should just buy the gripper tyre for more fun on the street?... where the federals will probably just be the same as the falkens i have.. maybe even a little worse?...

tread wear

internet, just searching specs.

they arent the holy grail, but give you an idea..

just looked up my falkens and they are rated at 300, so will be an improvement!

im not sure haha... cant go past the value of federals.. but also wouldnt mind the nitto being a better tyre.. again though, there not $500 worth of better are they!

Nope and you are already going from 300 down to 240 which is an improvement!!

Ill see if i can find the info on this site of all the grippy tyres, be back in a sec!

got it.

My bridgestone RE-01R's are rated at 140-180 lol. I knew they were sticky, didn't relise they were that sticky lol.

A few people i spoke too rekon you would get 15-20k kms out of them.

When i had the rears on the wrong sides they were shit. Epic wheel spin in the wet lol.

But after i corrected that, i found they griped fine. They floated a bit on the highway during the wet, but i think that was just due to the width.

oh yeah there directional. :-) and i should mention that they were bald too at that stage.

But getting back tto why i was looking for the wear value is that i'd heard these grip like FED RS-R's and wear like the RS's so i was going to say these might be an option for Ant (well the RE-02 anyway, which have repalced the Re01 and are apparently better again)

From memory the Re-01R's were about $360 a corner.

f*ck.

i have RE001 NOT RE01R's. got the names mixed up -sorry.

http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Bridgestone/

wear rating on the RE001 220

wear rating on the new RE002 is meant to be the same, but bridgestone claim its better.

http://www.bridgestone.com.au/tyres/treads/RE002.aspx

It should be mentioned that the RE001/2 are the successor to the bridgestone tyre that was developed/released with the r34gtr

I just read a few reviews..... Someone went from the current rears i have to the RE002 and said it changed the car!!! I assume there is going to be some wide 275 lines (on every private road) around here :laugh:

doesnt look like they make them in the size i need, which im finding very common..

like the KU36s... dont even make them in a 19 im pretty sure.. im fairly limited when it comes to tyres!

still in between the two haha...

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
