gt radials has anyone got them on there skyline, I am asking as I need knew tyres the old ones are shagged.

Gt Radial Champiro HPZ 40, 45 & 55 Series.

I need 235/40/18's all round.

how do they perform and do you get good wear out of them?

also how much did u pay 4 them.

cheers:D :P :P

i had them on my old R31....

They are a medium compound... they are probably crap on an R33 turbo, as you will get lots of wheelspin, and bad traction in the wet.... When I got them, they were about $90 eack for 15 inch..

Unless they come out in different compounds, dont bother, I didnt like them at all.

If you want quality tyres, do a search to see what others have said. If you want good tyres at low price, try find some second hand tyres...

If you want new for cheap, you wont get anything crash hot, especially at 18"!!!!

Yeah, its always hard to trust a tyre dealer's recommendation, they are most interested in clearing whatever stock they have around the workshop.

You could do a search, there's been quite a few threads on tyres. I think the most commonly recommended, good performing tyres are Falken GRBs/fk451s, and Dunlop FM901s.

these are the tyres i bought new for my old n/a v6 vs calais and they arked up like mad on that so on a gts-t etc they are a lot of fun i now use them for skids/drags/drifting.....thats all they are good for.......no traction at all......

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
