I bought Hankook ventus k104s in 235/45/17 for $175 from Joes Tyres in Moorabin.

The best way to look for tyres is decide what brand you want, then look at their website for their preffered suppliers, as they have them for cheaper than anyone else.

sorry 255x17 i meant

nah just an awesome compound tyre

provide stacks of traction and a very nice all rounder

getting them again soon. last about 15 months (28,000 k's) on good rwkw gtst

The hankooks are cheap for a reason. The reason is they are shit. Get something better.

I noticed ur car also had as nice dent in the rear end last time I saw it in hampton Park??

Wasnt that the manufacturer Mavric had problems with grip on also? <_<

Donnellans Box Hill are my choice.

Either that or City and Rural in Cheltenham.

Both have a great selection and reasonably priced.

I'm running the Falkan Azenis ST115 275/35/18 on the R atm. Good value for money rubber.

Was running DJ01s but they wore too quickly on the street.

I'm with Dave on this one.

They were considerably the cheapest around when I was shopping.

Although Clayton Beaurepaires ended up matching their price. A long story, but Clayton was more convenient for me.

Yep I've gotta agree with INASNT on the Hankooks- I just bought a GTR last Friday & it's got these on all fours & I've gotta say I'm NOT inpressed, i nfact it's embarassing how little grip they really have when pushed

It's part of owning these things, put good rubber on 'em 'cos you'll either bend 'em at best or put yourself in a box..........

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
