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..

    • 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
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
