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..

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
