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 ?

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 ;)

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
