So I ended up running the 235/40/18 on a 9” and a 255/35/18 on a 9.5” rim. The RS4 (or Z232 as referred to in NZ) seems to be a wide tyre. They are definitely wider than my old Falkens. The pi

that is the most biased review ever. Paid-to-plug I think. read recent posts, I didn't rate the RE003's. Go the invo's instead.

The RS-R run slightly wide as well. Go the same size you did on those.

Will see how i go... A few supply issues with them as they are discontinued!

I didn't notice my RS3's to be any wider than the dunlops that were on the evo.. The federals have a massive casing too so you shouldn't have a drama with the hankooks fitting under your car Matt :yes:

I've had kumho ku36 in 265/35/18 all around on my gtr for about a year and half now

In the beginning they were good, now for past year they are just getting harder and harder and the tyre noise is unbearable, drives me crazy !

Rears have about 20-30% left fronts about 40%

I'm taking them off and going for nitto INVO's in 265 have herd nothing but good things about them

The invo's are a great tyre Michael had em on my old 33 they are literally silent on the road and I found them really good in the wet too! ;)

When are these RS3's going on Matty? :)

2 are on, 2 are for sale...

Road test this weekend :banana:

Got some 235 Z222s on the front and some 255 Fed RSR on the back

Will let you know how they go at racewars :) ( if my cars ready )

You are all backwards :P

I have 255RSR up the front and 275 Z222 down the back ;)

Was going to get Rsr all around,

Could get front z222 cheaper than rsr, so i got them.

I do track work, so tighter tyres on front could be better

Yeah i will be doing plenty of track work and know the RSR front wont be up to the task ;)

I have just scored a set of 34GTR rims and will start researching proper tyres and will keep the current combo as my street/thrasher set!

Make sure you report back with thoughts on the Z222 ;)

I have 245/40s on my 34 GTR runs (on a 33 gtst s2) and they seem OK. Looking for a replacement and thinking RE050A or Pirelli?? Or the Invo's you guys all seem to rate. My RE01s are worn and the road noise is terrible, looking for a grippy but quiet set.

I just scored a set of 34GTR rims and will run Hankook z221 all round in 265/35/18... Not ideal for street though! Ill run the XT7 setup for street!

The RSR's kept me on the runway at 240km/h at racewars, thats a pass for me :)

Will let you know how they go on the track.

Pressures make the biggest difference with the RSR!

Ill have mine on the track on the 25th too :yes:

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
