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

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
