hi all,

i got a defect for tyres, fair call they are worn. i need some advice for new tyres. i currently have

Front 235/45/R17 Bridgestone G-Grip 3

Rear 255/40/R17 Perielli PZero

The pzero's lasted 35000 odd ks and now they are bald and dont grip.

The pzeros cost me around $500 each fitted and Ive spoken to some sales goonies and was told to get dunlop DIREZZA DZ101. Anyone have any comments on these or recommend some good tyres? my budget is about $450 each fitted or thereabouts (ish) so if you know good tyres let me know.

1997 S2 R33 141rwkw the pzeros gripped like mad hoe's but very expensive

255/40R17 94W DIREZZA DZ101 is what im looking at

oh and the pzeros still have the little nobby bits hanging out the side so they still look brand new :rofl:

but they certainly dont feel brand new !!! hahah theyre like drag slicks now

yeah will do. ill get a pic of the worn pzeros too. its funny cos they still have the spikey bits on the side of them. my parents cant believe theyve lasted 35,000ks and are worn cos they think they are fine cos of the nobby bits

well the new tyres are on and its shitloads better now. i have real traction. i asked them if they need the 500km burn in period and he said no they are fine so i gave it some stiick today in the wet and it gripped like a mad hoe, cant wait too see how they fang and grip in the dry.

the pzeros were crap as for about the first 500kms which sounds like the burn in period. i remember sydneykid saying tyres need to be run in for about 500kms before theyll grip the but the derezza's seem perfect and theyre two days old.

yeah they were $400 each fitted. the pzeros i had last time were $520 each fitted.

yeah its a shame i had to fask track the process to clear the defect oh well

no dramas geoff

tyres are great. awesome grip. beat the pzero's for sure

did a 1/4 mile run. 13.85 with a crap take off. 0 to 105km/h in 6.16 seconds

top speed of 166km/h

97 gtst with bigger muffle (stock exhaust). pod filter. 7psi full time psi (no factory dual stage)

and 255 dunlop direzza's. i can improve my 1/4 time. best 0 to 100km/h ive gotten is 5.70 (well my friend did it in my car actually). my personal best is 5.98 but havent tried in ages

tested using apexi rsm with g-sensor

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
