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:

Good because there are no more 265s available so 275 it is lol

Well you will be at 1 with traction now son :D

Oh i dont know about that :whistling:

But the car is booked in with Road2Race to get it setup right :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:

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
