A mate of mine paid about $300 each here in Adelaide

They have lasted ages as well, very hard wearing tyre. I'd say not the best tyre going around (many people bag them( but they arne't too bad

Yea they don't do very well in the wet, I can agree to that. I've been wheelspinning every time it rains here, at every traffic light. They're low on tread right now, so i just need to replace em quick, no real preference for any other brands. Wouldn't a new set be fairly driveable in the rain?

Anyway, I'll check out the price with your quotes in mind. I figured they might be around $260 each like qtvinsta said, which is still in my range. Has anyone used any better tyres that u'd get at the same price?

got a quote today on falken st115 235x17" due to low stock at moment they are expensive 340 a pop i've used the ze512s' and 502s' there not to bad 502's not so good i'd recomend the ZE512 though i've not had them for long. and they still make the RT215 ;):)

I bought two new falken zeix 235 40 17 tyres for $310 for both 155 each at a sale at an auburn tyre shop advertising in the trading post. I thought this was good price when i saw them so i got em.;)

They also had same size tyres nankang brand for 130.There were good prices on 18's as well.

If you want to know the shop name and number ill search for it and post it up for use.

Yeh they are still making the RT215 series .. thank god!

But they arent any more shipments coming to australia anytime soon.

Only ones i could find are RT215 245/45/17 at $340 fitted

Which is expensive because of low stock. A few months ago you could get 255/40/17 for $310

Things is they dont know when they will be another shipment from japan, so it could be weeks or months.

I had a set of 4 Falken ZIEX. I got 265 in the rears and 235 in the front. Basically right, no traction of the line and the car understeers like heaps. But they have lasted me soo long, roughly 15 months and i still got about 30-40 % rubber left.

Do yourself a favour and spend a hundred or so more per tyre for that piece of mind, cause its worth it.

Their pretty nasty in the wet as already stated, but last a looong time.

They are also the same tread pattern and wear levels as the Nankangs, but the Nankangs are significantly cheaper.

I paid $235 each for 18/265 rears & $185 each for 18/235 front Nankangs.

So yeah, there cheap and nasty.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
