As per below link, is the TD for pure track use whereas the RS3 is more appropriate for the street and occasional track?

The TD is a dot complied track tyre, so while you "can" use it on the street it's not recommended, it even says so on the tyre :) " not recommended for street use "

As apposed to " not for highway use " or " track use only ", if the tyre has one of these two then they are illegal for street use

I'm getting tyres fitted tomorrow, rs3s!

I had a quick chat with the shop who supplied my wheels which are 18x9.5+22 and he said that 265/35/18 in the rs3 might rub, there is a small chance so I'll need to trial fit them first and if they do rub, I'll settle for 255/35/18.

Apparently the rs3 in a 265 looks like a 285, so I was told.

Anyone here running rs3 in 265 configuration on a r32gtr? My chances are narrow...

im running RS3 265x35x18 on my 32R, got it fitted on the weekend, previously running 255x35x18 PSS,

definitely not 285 wide, very small increase as far as I can tell visually, side walls on RS3 is more square looking than PSS, no rubbing or any other issue thus far although my guards are rolled

yes mate - rs3's as per above post :)

i am one of most indecisive ppl u will ever come across, i spend way too much time researching which just kills me at times & i often change directions unexpectably

Psh it'll fit easily.

I have 275/35/18 RS-3 on my 32R (18x10+20 wheels), will have to do some work to make the car drivable :P.

Reporting back with pricing:

Michelin PSS $1550

Hankook RS3 $1150

Nitto NT05 $840

PSS is out of the question due to price plus the RS3 seems to be the pick of the bunch, based on feedback.

NT05 is most appealing due to price and availability so the question I have is the RS3 that much better or are we splitting hairs? The extra $300 doesn't bother me...what would u guys go for, keeping in mind I'd be lucky to drive the car once a fortnight (sad huh)

Hey mate, where did you get that quote on the NT05s?

Import Monster (SAU Sponsor) as also moving a lot of Nitto stock lately, give them a bell for a price too and let them know you're a SAU'er - supporting sponsors keeps the forums alive :)

taleb dont have them in stock atm.

i trial fitted the 265s and they tuck in nice :)

i got the rs3's at an absolute steal @ $1 for the full set which included balancing & fitting...if anyone is interested in where i got them from, just let me know. actually, i better double check that the shop is ok with me advertising this rate.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
