Goodyear Eagle F1 Gsd3 235/40/18

dry: 10

wet: 10

over all: 10/10

these are the best tyres for a street car that sees an occasional race day.

My car is also used in hill climb type runs and these tyres wet or dry offer an amazing amount of grip.

^^ I would have to disagree with you there, in the wet maybe for some applications but in the dry no, i have run both the GSD3 and Potenza S03 on the rear of my S14 ( with every suspension mod avaliable so alignment is spot on ) and the difference is worlds appart, the S03 is so much a better tyre, i find even in the wet which is surprising seems the GSD3 is suppose to be a wet weather tyre.....

Just brought the new bridgestone adrenalin RE001 for my GTR in 265/35/18 @ $450 p/t, so far they are going great compared to the Advan A048s I took off, but it is very wet and so thats probley not a fear comparison, Anyone interested in how they go be at the SUA track at wakefield day and i happerly take you for a run. :)

I am really keen to see how these Adrenalin,s go for you as i am looking at getting a set fitted to my Gtst next weekend.. Anyone else got these fitted yet?.. i belive they have only been out for two weeks and are claimed to be a better sticking tyre than any other potenza.. any one???

Toyo T1rs on the track had huge amounts of grip!! very happy these rubbers.. But only got them on the fronts..

Rear advan ad07s.. anyways i could predict the front, and toyos never failed or became to hot or any other issues..

Just thought i let people know!!

:P

So far shaping up to be a good thing, i've had G3s and S03s in the same size and on these rims and the RE001s seem

better alround and a fairly good match for the Advan A048s for dry street use and walk all over them in the wet, can't

wait to get them on to the track to see how they go compared to the Advans.

What I really want to see is how they go against the 595RS Feds.

What would a set of Toyo T1r's set me back to fit Stock R33 gtst rims? Happy with their grip....Cheers!!!

I'm going to get a set of these for my next set.

I was quoted:

225/50/R16 $200ea fitted

205/55/R16 $200ea fitted

I'm going to get 205's cos the 225's (nexen's) I have at the moment, the sidewalls move around too much when cornering.

I too will be running the new adrenalins on the trackday.. (getting fitted this weekend).. its been hard to choose between the toyo and these.. the toyo seems to be very well known for its soft sticky type handling but i can get the bridgestones at a better price and i like the idea of guinie piging something new, plus i dont think ill be doing more than three track days a year and i feel the potenza adrenlins will be a better street/ track tyre..

mate....you either buy fk451s again or you get worse grip...they are the best street tyres I've used. Yes they wear quickly but you have fun in the meantime.

Next best in the price range are probably the federal 595 but they still arent as good.

I just got a set of the fk451 in 245/45/17 for $250ea from tempe tyres for the stagea.

tempe still have 451's? you serious? man when i got mine mid-late last year they were being phased out for the 452 and almost noone had them.

Im only gonna replace the rears for now, what are the Potenza S03's??? And the Toyo T1R?

My car doesnt see the track but it gets alot of street use. :thumbsup:

Ive got Nexan 3000 on all four wheels.

front are 225/40/18 rear are 245/40/18

ive found they are very quiet and are quite grippy whether it be dry or on the wet.

i like em'!

Dont take this the wrong way, but they are rubbish tyres that are used for compliance and by cardyards because they are dirt cheap. If you like them you need to try something decent to redefine your standards.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
