Depends on what you want to spend really

Yokohama AVS V102

Goodyear Revspec

Dunlop FM901's (cheaper.)

Talk to Kosteras tyres in Kalamunda for advice.

They can supply tyres just this side of race rubber if you want to go down that path

Cheers

this is what i'm looking at getting.

712-11.jpg

Kumho "Ecsta Supra" 712: Racetrack inspired, race-winning technology all wrapped up into a high performance street tyre. Race proven technology inspired the development of the Kumho ECSTA supra712 V and Z speed rated directional tyre. Designed to deliver a higher level of high speed performance in hydroplaning resistance and wet handling, the tread’s large lateral and centre channels provide maximum water evacuation for superior wet traction while an advanced silica tread compounding ensures excellent wet/ dry traction and handling. To further meet the demands of those drivers who require the best in handling and traction, the ECSTA Supra 712’s wide tread contact area provides dry grip, stability at high speeds and handling. Its sophisticated, directional tread design offers superior acceleration, braking (especially when rabbits happen to be in your road) and exceptional cornering. Altogether with its European design and styling, the ECSTA Supra 712 delivers ultra high performance, featuring black letter styling and available in 55-,50-,45-,40-, 35-, and 30 series, in H-, V-, Z-, and W speed rated sizes for 14 inch to 20 inch wheel diameters. Now world class beating quality with best value pricing will make sure your customers will know.

hahahahahahahahha

sorry troy but dont get them

theyre pathetic

my mate has them in his 300zx, after 12,000ks of not very syko driving theyre incredibly bald, offer no grip and are weapons in the wet

bloody pathetic!

as an all round tyre the dunlop fm901s are very good, thats what im using at the moment. the sticker the tyre the quiker it will wear, like the SO3s... depends what youre after. an allround tyre or just one which will get you off the line. pirellis range are also good, but expensive. p-zeros have excellent grip!

Spoke to Ray @ Kostera's and will probably settle on a set of Dunlop SP9000's @ 225/55 on the rear. Only because I've got stock rims and havent got the dough to get a set of 18x9's yet and fit some nice 255/45 tyres :) Cluth and tyres should be done in time for drags on wednesday 13th of november. Whose coming along?

Guys, going to have to do a shameless plug for the boys at beaurepairs in Rocky - they gave me a great deal on the REVSPECs: 2 x 234/45/17 and 2x 255/40/17 fitted for 1k.  Saved several hundred on the list price.

Who did you sleep with to get that price?

Best price I could get was $1320 from Beaurepaires in Perth area.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
