didn't pay for them (my folks did cause not really my car)

doesn't repond well in the wet when power is put down - wheel spins very easily

fairly decent grip in the dry though

Fedral SS595

275/40/17 $275

Dry: 6

Wet: 6

Value:6

194rwkw.Does second gear standstill with ease.When it comes onto boost thru second in the wet it spins later then it did with bridgestone GII's in 255/40

use to have goodyear eagles..  BOOOO..

yea i can vouge for that comment lol seing as how i now have your old rims + tyres on my car and these tyres are pretty average to put it nicely on my pulsar they rocked but as soon as you add a bit more power to the car eg now owning a skyline they grip like crap when you put your foot down ;) oh well i will be replacing them in another couple of months will keep an eye on this thread for what to replace them with :(

Just reporting back on the TOYO TP-G's.

Dry: 8/10

Wet: 6/10

Value: 7/10

Tyres I've used which I'm comparing against:

Falken ZE326, ZE512, FK451, RT215, FK-04 GRB, RS410 & Dunlop Le Mans.

Comment: Prol spend a bit extra next time and get the TOYO T1-R's :P

Any one had experience with GF Goodrich G Force Sports or GT Radials (champiro)?? 17/235/45. Quite a few places I've called have recommended them but I'm not sure wheter they are good or just getting better rates to sell them.

Hancook K102

Wet: 6/10

Value for money: 6/10

size 235/40/17 front

255/40/17 rear

hmm, not many people mentioning continentals.

The tyre shop at my work supplies them, can get them for a pretty decent price too. The manager said they are a damn good tyre, so im going to have to give them a go sometime.

Gotta agree with a few of you,

Yokohama Grand Prix 5/7MR's

wet:5/10

dry:8/10 Almost as good as Bridgy Grid II's

value for money: 8/10 $150 for a second hand pair as not released here

Maxxis Victor MA-Z1

wet:6/10

dry:7/10

value for money: 8/10 Great all rounder for drift etc but damn noisy!

Falken Ziex 326

wet:1/10

dry:2/10

value for money: 2/10 cheap az but thats it

Kelly Chargers

wet:1/10

dry:1/10

value for money: -10/10 ! Worst ever!

Yokohama DNA GP

Dry: 6/10

Wet: 0/10 Not fun having the car kick out at 140km/h when passing someone.

Value: They were on the car when I got it

Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 only on rear ATM: 285/40/17

Dry: Haven't got them to break traction yet, can't push them hard enough to lose traction as the car just understeers

Wet: Same as dry

Value: 10/10 at $330 each, not sure what retail is though.

Dunlop SP3000A Silica Tyres - Anyone used them?  I just bought a set (yet to go on the car)

Currently running them on my wife's BA Turbo. Tyre was originally designed as the OE fitment for this car. Has been accepted to be an above average tyre by the general public and as such now readily available in other sizes. I have personally found them to suit the BA very well - better than other more expensive options.

My personal preference is the Goodyear REVSPEC RS-02, currently fitted to my SII Stagea (235/40R18). A little expensive when compared with its competitors, but I do not place price on safety.

The last couple of weeks in Canberra we have had some rather terrible wet weather and these tyres loved it - especially with AWD.

Neither vehicle has seen any track work therefore I have no comment to offer in that regard.

Regards,

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
