They're not 326's are they???

bound to be 326s....they are cheap for a reason...try a search for Falken 326 in the suspension section :)

I'm not suggesting you take tempe's recommendation about what to buy, just they they will probably be the cheapest for whatever you have decided on....

Falken 326's are absolute rubbish

Especially in the wet

I have them on the gtr, and it gets damn slippery in the wet. Even with all four paws on the ground

You get what you pay for. But they'll last you for quite a while. Ive done just over 10k on my tyres since i got them, and they look like theyve hardly worn :)

i have them on the front, and yes they are rubbish, mine seem pretty new but the rubber on the edges has gone nice and bubbly from skidpan day :) they got treated like they deserve ehehehe

btw. falken 326s i think are the upper class tyre are tempe currently, as nowdays they also sell NANKANGs, which are even cheaper/worse!

i just found the new meaning of no grip :( i knew there was a catch to $200 tyres at 265/40/17.....

haha owned...! hopefully with no damage/death tho! :P

Keep them for drift/skidpan days? :P Or sell them to some riceburner for his civic...? ;)

Just on the topic of falkens though - do they make good tyres? a mate with a modded integra type r was saying they're awesome (forget what model tyre tho)...

Anybody got a suggestion for a set of good tyres (for a FWD :)) for around the $1200 (for all four) mark?

Cheers.

Yes Falken do make good tyres. You can't look at the base model (326s) and then judge the rest of the tyre range from that. From what I've read the 512s are decent as street tyres.

I did some reading/searching last night and I also found positive reviews for the Hankook Ventus Sport K104:

They seem to be cheap (~$250 a tyre) and good so at the moment they seem to be front runner in my choice of rubber when I get a chance to get some new rims.

No...512s are rubbish too.

FK451s are good and are a replacement for the old GRB

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
