I'm after a pair of good tyres in the next week to start getting the R32 on the road. Probably going to get Falken RT215's, but any other suggestions welcome.. Only need R16's so shouldn't be easier on the wallet. Budget is about $400

I've heard Brannigans are pretty good down here, are they good on prices as well?

Any other suggestions? or should I just pickup the yellowpages :D

cheers peepz..

Branigans are the option you take when you have 50 bux to your name and wire poking out of your tyres... Cheap and nasty... Good service though...

Avoid F1 at all costs...

I found BBS to be good in the past, but they forgot to mention to me that they had moved last time I booked the car in, so my business went elsewhere...

Federals are underrated IMO...

Have you tried using the club sponsor Bob janes

Be interesting what prices you get compared to other tyre shops

Put them to the test!!

Let us all know the results.

Do not bother with the Federals unless you want cheap

I have tried both 235/40/18 and 245/40/18

Do not have very good grip

I Have some very worn out doggy 255/45/17 Nankang on the rear now, and they have ALOT better grip then the Federal ever had

Both are cheap tyres

I am going to try the Falken st112 next or something pretty soft

I am sick lighting up the back every time I go to the local shop!

thanks so much guys..

jax or action tyres sound great and they're close as anything, would prefer somebody who knows turbo cars.. and doesn't try and just sell me whatever they'd stick on the nearest commodore. I will probably go down to them today.

I'll probably check out bob jane too.. although I'm not a member :Oops:

Had dodgy tyres on the R33 and I hated it near the end, I want some pretty good ones this time - especially seeing as this car is not going to be daily driven..

May as well do something useful..

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
