I was the surprised the fronts held up so well, didn't feel like they were going to give up anytime soon

I was driving the car pretty hard as well, didn't really understeer anywhere. It just did what I wanted it to do :)

The nitto invos are a great tyre they put my 336rwkw to the ground nicely :)

Got my Hankook Z222 on the evo yesterday. They are not overly noisey and they didn't make the steering feel as twitchy as it felt with the dunlop SP MAXX that were on it and they did make my steering feel a lil heavier and made turn in a little more progressive.

Havent tested them out in the twisties yet though. Hopefully tonight :)

I gave the RSR's a good run again on the weekend, still not bad for the price! They obviously are cheap tyres but when you drive them at their limit they handle it well! Nice and quiet too...

yh true i have RSR 255/35/18 good in the wet can launch at 3500 with my few killerwasps and it grabs instantly.

This tyre test is interesting. It shows braking from 100km/h dry and wet.

Down the bottom there are some real shockers but the mid-range performers seem good value.

straight line braking in wet or dry is not a good indicator or lateral grip (corners) nor how they 'feel' or how they grip once traction has been broken and then in regaining traction...

Nonetheless, still meaningful statistics :)

Bridgestone potanzas re240s street slicks

Dry 10/10 once you get heat into them

Wet 3/10 just for normal driving

i rate these types 10/10 for price as im a true believer that you get what you pay for

"Potanza RE240s" ? Was wondering what these were. You might want to take another look at your tyre sidewall markings :)

Unless you're referring to the old Potenza RE540s (semi-comps, not slicks), which I believe are long discontinued?

I used Tirerack to get my Michelins due to the fact Michelin Australia cant be bothered bringing 265/35/18 into Australia

Once i sent my money i received my tyres in 5business days too my door!!!

Michelin Australia arnt bringing every size into the country, this is reflected on their website

Re: PSS

Ta Nick for feedback on this :)

Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of posts on here lately.

I have Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec that i have had on my 33 for the past 18 months or so. I haven't really tried many tyres so i cannot really rate them outta 10 but I am well happy with them. I am glad I spent the $$ and bought some good tyres. Alot better than previous KU31.

I know a few others bought the same tyres from tirerack.com. Any other opinions on these tyres ?

Anyone got a hook up for Hankook RS3?

Want to run a 275 35 18 and RSR dont have that size... (Currently RSR all round but keen to give something else a shot!)

Best price I got was through jax tyres (believe it or not) Prospeed?? I think up the coast go through em a fair bit too give them a try Matt ;)

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
