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.

    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
    • That is correct,  I have a forged RB25/30det NEO hiding away safely and I wanted to use the very rare greddy vct adj cam gear on this new setup and so I just used the whole thing on my s1 instead of pulling it appear because I'm lazy af 😅🤌🏼
