Have you given the Ar1's a workout yet?

Had my first crack with the car on sat.

apart from being an awesome time the tyres were excellent. only took a lap maybe a lap and a half and the grip was excellent.

the value for money is huge. the only thing, and im sure its like it with any tire, the tyre pressure really ballons after every session.

i started with 33 in all 4, after the first session i was loosing grip. came in and it had 55 in all 4!

So let them down and yer was excellent again.

i now have to upgrade my brakes as they boiled and lost nearly all brakes by the end of the day

kumho ecsta la sport ku39 265/35R18

just fitted on the gtr,the difference is incredible,quiet,no more road noise from the goodyears that were on it,heaps of grip and at $210 each (worth $490 each)what a bargain and purchased at kmart

.

 

A little off topic, and more a vent about this dodgy place without putting names down.

But some tyre places really don't listen or understand when you specify a tyre like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4and I really emphasized the S, and then specifically specified not the 4 or 4ST as they are a different tyre...

They quoted my for my rear tyre size, that I know doesn't come in the 4S, and is only available in the 4 or 4ST (these last two are the same tyre according to Michelin Aus). They then went to quote me on a size for the front that I know doesn't come in the 4 or 4ST, so maybe it was for the 4S or maybe it was a Nito Invo ha ha.

Anyway. Looks like I'll be off to a tyre place that understands that the Pilot Sport 4S is a different tyre, or at least someone who pays attention to details.

Well from my experience, some tyre shops can't put wheel nuts on properly, and when they do a "toe check" they mess up the alignment more than it was already, so I'm not surprised some can't tell the difference between PS4 and PS4S.

Has anyone seen the AR1 in 255 R17? I can only find online listings for 235.

What place in Adelaide had them that cheaply? 

Currently using 235 RS-R and was going to go for 255 RS-RR, but the AR1 seem cheapish and review wellish for racing myself against the clock. Ideally, would like them in 255 though as Im guessing the difference between 235 AR1 and 255 RS-RR will be a bit smaller.

I've seen the AR1's advertised on gumtree in 255 40 17, $240 each from memory. Don't think the shop was in Adelaide though.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
