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......

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
