Hey All...

I just bought new rims and tyres...

235/40/18 Front

265/35/18 Rear

Falken 326 i think??

I have noticed I have considerably less traction than when i had my stockies on, 225/50/16.

Do the new tyres have a certain amount of distance to be travelled before they start to grip or have i just bought crap tyres??

I was shocked at how easy it as to smoke the new tyres.. with the stock tyres i could just chirp second gear, but now when i slam into second gear i can smoke the rears quite a lot...

P.s i have 183 rwkw.....

i appreciate the advise...

Thanks,

I was afraid of that... i was just supprised that my crap stockies had a noticable amount more traction even after i totally fried them on the figure 8 at the DECA day a couple of weeks ago!!!

P.s i think i saw your car at the Auto Elec a couple of months ago.... Very Nice! I had work done there on my car previously...

Cheers

Yeah, how much did you pay for them out of interest?

yeah my car was at the auto elecs a couple of months ago, so would of been mine :rofl: Thanks

Now you have bought the tyres, probably not much you can do... I'm about to try some hancook 104's, hopefully better than these 326's :(

Dunno about the 235's but know that i paid $250 for the 265's.... I was very close to buying the semi slicks but thought that by the time they warmed up and really started to grip my trip would be over... i was quoted $270 for the semi slicks (Falkens)...

ive been told the Hancooks are pretty good... so good luck.... im starting to think i should have just bought a new pair of 225/50/16's, as was always really suprised at the amout of grip they had.... For stock tyres anyway....

from SydneyKid:

Hi Matt, road tyres take at least 500 k's to "run in". They give off oil and other lubricants used in their manufacture. So they have to heat cycle a number of times to make sure the "slippery stuff" is cooked off. When they are new the more you "smoke em up" the worse the grip gets as buckets loads of lubricants all come out at once. So run them in.

yeah the tyres will get better after a few days....but 326s are really crappy tyres, that's why they are so cheap.....

better options from falken are st215s or even better FK451s. Still under $1500 per set but they actually have grip.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
