Hi Guys.

Well the time has come to get some Tyres for my R33 GTR. So hard to chose with so many brands out there and so many differing opinions, so I thought I'd ask what experiences you guys have had on the specific car instead of reading online review sites like Tyrerack.

Basically It's a R33 GTR and I intend to have a max of 400hp. Coming from having RWD Cars I know you need very grippy tyres on a 400hp RWD, but what's the go with AWD, I understand you have much more traction as all 4 Tyres can be under power at times.

I was thinking about RE002, or Conti Sport Contact 5 or Nitto Invos. I see things like Achillies ATR's and Federal SS-595 are on cheaper side they seem to sell really good but I'm thinking of going something more of the main stream brands. Budgeting perhaps $1000 for set give or take.

Open to any opinions, interested about straight line acceleration grip and handling also around corners, daily non track car it will be for the most. I'd really prefer something that can grip all gears without lighting up in wheelspin, hard decision to make 1st time owning a GTR and coming from RWD Cars.

It has stock R33 GTR wheels so size i'm going for is 245/45/17

Cheers.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
