194rwkw.Does second gear standstill with ease.When it comes onto boost thru second in the wet it spins later then it did with bridgestone GII's in 255/40

use to have goodyear eagles..  BOOOO..

yea i can vouge for that comment lol seing as how i now have your old rims + tyres on my car and these tyres are pretty average to put it nicely on my pulsar they rocked but as soon as you add a bit more power to the car eg now owning a skyline they grip like crap when you put your foot down ;) oh well i will be replacing them in another couple of months will keep an eye on this thread for what to replace them with :(

Just reporting back on the TOYO TP-G's.

Dry: 8/10

Wet: 6/10

Value: 7/10

Tyres I've used which I'm comparing against:

Falken ZE326, ZE512, FK451, RT215, FK-04 GRB, RS410 & Dunlop Le Mans.

Comment: Prol spend a bit extra next time and get the TOYO T1-R's :P

size 235/40/17 front

255/40/17 rear

hmm, not many people mentioning continentals.

The tyre shop at my work supplies them, can get them for a pretty decent price too. The manager said they are a damn good tyre, so im going to have to give them a go sometime.

Gotta agree with a few of you,

Yokohama Grand Prix 5/7MR's

wet:5/10

dry:8/10 Almost as good as Bridgy Grid II's

value for money: 8/10 $150 for a second hand pair as not released here

Maxxis Victor MA-Z1

wet:6/10

dry:7/10

value for money: 8/10 Great all rounder for drift etc but damn noisy!

Falken Ziex 326

wet:1/10

dry:2/10

value for money: 2/10 cheap az but thats it

Kelly Chargers

wet:1/10

dry:1/10

value for money: -10/10 ! Worst ever!

Yokohama DNA GP

Dry: 6/10

Wet: 0/10 Not fun having the car kick out at 140km/h when passing someone.

Value: They were on the car when I got it

Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 only on rear ATM: 285/40/17

Dry: Haven't got them to break traction yet, can't push them hard enough to lose traction as the car just understeers

Wet: Same as dry

Value: 10/10 at $330 each, not sure what retail is though.

Dunlop SP3000A Silica Tyres - Anyone used them?  I just bought a set (yet to go on the car)

Currently running them on my wife's BA Turbo. Tyre was originally designed as the OE fitment for this car. Has been accepted to be an above average tyre by the general public and as such now readily available in other sizes. I have personally found them to suit the BA very well - better than other more expensive options.

My personal preference is the Goodyear REVSPEC RS-02, currently fitted to my SII Stagea (235/40R18). A little expensive when compared with its competitors, but I do not place price on safety.

The last couple of weeks in Canberra we have had some rather terrible wet weather and these tyres loved it - especially with AWD.

Neither vehicle has seen any track work therefore I have no comment to offer in that regard.

Regards,

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
