Manwh0re

That is a full coincidence.

My name is MANWHOR3 - I live in sydney.

My friend's name is MANWHORE - he lives in Sydney too.

You're name is Manwh0re - you're in sydney. you joined a year before us. hmmm...

:)

Haha I'm the original...

If you have a R34 as well.... well I'll be damned..

got the catalog from BOb Jane, and 255/40/17 are not aviable in the country for another 6 weeks

If you are in Sydney i can get you Toyo 255x40x17 ( proxes T1S ) for about $260 each .

Let me know if you are interested and i'll find out the price for you .

Check them out on the website http://www.toyo.com.au/

Go the Hankook Ventus Sport K104 235x40x17 at $175 a tyre. Theyre top quality, have been chosen as OEM supplier for many big car companies etc.

I dont believe for a second any of the crap quality talk about tyres from Asia. Most companies make their tyres is asia, simply because its cheaper. The days when china/taiwan/etc being synonomous with crap quality are long over. The vast majority of companies have strict quality control proceedures, most are ISO9001 certified.

Please give me one decent brand that makes a performance tyre in an Asian country that's not Japan or Korea?

OK i dont know any of the top of my head, but if anyone wants to check where their paticular set of tyres were made click on the link below and search for the manufacturers code which is on the tyre sidewall:

I was wondering if any of you guys out there have tried some Maxxis tyres,   Victra Ma-Z1 235/45/17  to be more precise (Finished 3rd overall in wheels magazine test last month).  if so tell us about your experiences with them.

I am seriously thinking in buying some at 180 dollars a corner ;)

Cheers,

I have a set of 235/45/17 MA-Z1 on the front and they seem to be pretty good. Have done a few short track days with them and they held up really well. Great in the wet. I also have toyo t1s on the rear (255/40/17) and the tread pattern between the 2 is almost identical.

I used to have crappy Nankang ns1 on the car and they were supremely shite! Did one track day in them and understeered my way all over the place. The maxxis didnt have any troubles like they did, ran the same setup with both sets of tyres. Hope this helps.

Cheers

They are made in Taiwan, if anyone is interested in continuing with the quality control debate :P

Treadwear rate 280 traction AA, same as Dunlop Sport 9000, GoodyearEagle F1 GS-D3, Michelin Pilot Sport, and others more expensive tyres, so no extra soft compound here, as many were implying.

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
