I had them on my car when I got them... I drove from Melbourne to Sydney with them flat... and pumped them up, and they lived for a good year+ after that.

Pretty sure I'm the only person other than drug traffickers who got some use out of them!

the only advantage is not carrying a spare. Other than that they're expensive, so spend your money on a better quality tyre instead. It's annoying in beemers etc where there's no well for a spare

I don't even bother carrying a spare anymore unless I'm going on a roadtrip. Around town I'll just ring the missus or a mate

Haha .. OK good point!

Run flats are usually more expensive than standard tyres too. Id rather get nice sticky good quality high performance tyres than run flats. Good quality tyres are harder to get punctured anyway, from personal experience :P

Not for me either.

I am a legend at dodging punctures, in particular those spike strips the cops use.

Punctures.

Not even once.

Haha .. yeah, me too.

Avoiding the spike strips in Need For Speed gave good practice :)

for what its worth ill go against all coments so far i have them on the front of my 33 (just because i was broke and had bmw wheels with the right size) but after having them on the fron with the stock 55 profile i found them to handle a heap better around corners they are so stiff it isnt funny they were a prick to fit and used heaps of weights to ballance (i do all that myself) i wouldnt go back to normals ever.

However if your running bigger wheels then they wouldnt have sidewall flex anyway and itd be a total waste of cash.

and from what ive heard you cant put your foot down with runflats and forget a burnout or even kicking the car out apparently you get major wheel shakes when trying to slide although this was the opinion from a friend with them on his prelude

it doesn't go that bad for a fwd hahaha anways its not my car so sucks to him. but serieously hes put some work into it and it used to beat my old r31 rb30de+t although it only run 6psi boost so cant really compare it hahaha

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
