So the time has come to get some new rubber on the R34 GT-T.

Ive done some looking around and wondering if anyone has had experiences with these Tyres, good or bad.

Also what about these prices?

Good or Bad?

245*40*17

Bridgestone S03 - $370

Kumho KU19 - $268

Yokohama AVS V102 (or AVS100) - $400

Now the car is mostly used as a daily driver and does not get anything in the way of track work.

Im leaning towards the Kumho because of the cost.

Best combination from expeirence:

Rear: Falken RT215 semislicks

Front: Falken ST115

The RTs are about $320 a tyre for 17" 245-55

STs are a fair bit cheaper

If the car is just a general daily driver with not much hard driving then just about any descent tyre will be fine

I have recently installed Yoko AVS to my GTST - reason that these were the closest spec rubber to a semi-slick however should still get around 30000km instead of 10-15k with semis. They also have a solid tread pattern which flexes less on the track - 235 45 17 & 255 40 17 cost around $370/tyre. I use everyday for business but aso get to the track every six weeks or so. Did have falken azenis which I found to be shitful in the wet. I very happy with the results especially in the wet - but really need a dedicated track trye for the track

Might be worth trying:

Hankook Ventus K104 (not aval in NSW but are in Vic through Donnellan's The Tyremen, go figure...) there are good reports on the forums about these.

Sumitomo HTRZ-02 (very underated apparently).

Price for 255/40/17 was about 250/320 repectively.

Good luck

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
