I currently have Kumho Ecsta 712's on my car and there is NO WAY i'm ever having them again. For the money, it's a decent enuf tyre but it's a poor man's performance tyre. Why compromise after spending so much money in other areas of your car?

For me, my power severely outweighed the 712's grip so i've stepped up to see what the toyo can do.

ive got Kumho 711 on the back atm, and 712 on the front

the 711's are utter shit..

712's have done very well on the front, and ive seen them do well on the back of a similar spec R33 to mine..

and for the price im getting them for, theres no real harm in trying em :)

Nangkang NSII................. they spin when you want them to and grip like hubba bubba to a dunlop volley every other time.... i got the 265 18' ones and they are great. Plenty of smoke, plenty of art and they last...

Ill let you all in on a secret........ phone order from tempe tyres (www.tempetyres.com.au) in syd

17" 235 around 110 ea!!!! (85 delivery with in 4-5 days).

I paid 220 for my 265 18s and 180 for the 235 fronts.

I got a few guys together and they made it cheaper plus its still only 85 freight.

Sherriff,  

I just put a pair of the Ventus 104's on the 32 a month ago.. pretty DAMN GOOD tyre for the price.

I havent tried the 104's in the wet yet.  

Shaun

gave the Ventus 104's a run today in the wet and they were pretty good, no loss of traction accelerating fully through second in a straight line. Most of the other tyres ive used break loose at around 5500 RPM or so.

car has 210wrhp.

Shaun

i just put the 104's on early this week too..

255/40R17

235/45R17

$860 fitted....

they grip ohh so good... im struggling to spin them, launching hard, launching around corners... 260rwhp and the buggers wont budge!

highly reccomended. :D

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
