Ive searched and doesnt seem to be a thread about this...

So where are the good/value for money tyre shops?

I need to get some new tyres and not sure where, local shops seem to be asking for $459 for one bridgestone S03. And $500 for Continental Sports Contact 2.

255/40/17

So where do you get yours for? and how much?

Does it vary from suburb to suburb?

haha yeah go to tempe, just make sure they fit the right tyres....twice now that have put the wrong ones on the rim for me....they must have been confused because I asked for decent falkens (fk451) instead of the usual 326 deathtraps.

But if you are buying tyres in the $500 range, got for the dunlop SP Sport 9000 they are excellent.

Black tyres guildford.

blokes name is Adib, he is always busy as to do fitting, but he is cheap.

I think number 60-70 Railway St, Guildford / Yeenora.

Tell him Darko with the skyline sent you.

17" michellin pilots/pirelli P0z ~$100 each second hand with ~80% rubber or so (which will outlast shit brand new tyres anyday and much better grip etc.), ask him and see how you go.

i just bought new tyers yesterday from a cheaper place.. couldnt afford expencive ones.. but yer, i got Nackang Ultra Sport NS-II 255/40/17 rear for $170 and 235/45/17 front for $120 ... they grip a crap load better then what i had b4. i can actualy let my right foot drop (not heaps fast) in first and it doesnt spin the wheels.. b4 i had to take it quite easy or it would spin and kick out to the left or right.. (195rwkw) oh well

MAR55S, y u say nackng are crap? .. im sure that not great, cause there piss cheap, lol.. but it doesnt seem too bad for me atm

i agree champ, that is a ridiculous price for tyres, when all u are going to do is treat them like shit anyways!!!!! i will never pay $2k for a set of tyres unless i new i was going to die tomorrow.

p.s. i also think that eagle tyres in granville are pretty cheap, and have good service.

Aussie Best Tyres

Great Western Highway, St Marys

02 9673 6699

You don't have to tell them anyone sent you, or do a secret handshake. I shopped around for similar sized tyres and these guys were ok. You can tell them Matboy is sexy if you want... but they'd already know :P

Prices were really good, service was ok. I got a set of Toyo TPG's 235/45r17 and 255/40r17 for about $800ish? something like that.

$2k all round is a rip off for new Pirelli P-Zero's???

Why buy a nice car when your going to treat that like sh*t too?

Frankly I don't compromise when it comes to tyres. It's the only part of the car that comes in contact with the tarmac. Have all the suspension/turbo/brakes/flashy bits you want, but add cheap rubber in there and it all comes to nothing.

Pilot sports? I've had them on my old GTR and they're pretty good. Any other Michelin.... don't think so.

Anyhow, second hand tyres. I use to them. I had a set of P-Zero assymetrical on the GTR but they felt somewhat... lacking. Drove a mates 200SX with brand new P-Zero Nero's and the grip levels were a lot higher. I'm guessing the later generation PZero have differing compound.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
