Hmm was just looking at my back tyres and there pretty low on tread so i need some new ones. Any suggestions on something in a 17" on 7" rims? About the $200 mark per tyre would be good, i dont have the money to buy another pair of $350 ones atm. If its not worth getting $200 tyres ill save, suggestions?

Take a look at the topic here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=72923 about what tyres people recomend, you will see a few brands there that are with in your price range that will give you an idea.

if you are in Adelaide, and want prices PM me.

Try some of the Toyo T1R's. Shouldnt be too far off your price range in that size. If your in the eastern suburbs, give Paul a call at Edgars Tyrepower

I've been reading the other thread and by the sounds of it most people like the Toyo T1R's!

Might have to look into these myself :P

I've heard some good reports back on the T1R's, Give us a Post when you get them on to let us all know what you think of them.

Yeh, they sound ok, i might give em a run (although my family will kill me for not using goodyear/dunlops)

Sucks that SPMAXX"s are so dam expensive, will look dodgy having different tyres front to back :action-smiley-069:

Err what are you guys getting in the way of average tyre life on your average high end sports performance tyre anyway? I got about 4-5 months out of my SPMAXX's :wub:

hmm ive done 6000 k's on mine, and they are looking pretty sick (back have significantly less tread than front ones.. dunno why) but they grip just as well as they did when they were brand new some how. About half a second of spinnage, when i drop the clutch from 2.5k.. same as it was the day i got them new.. Weird

Dunlop 3000R's or 3000A's? i havn't heard of 3000r's b4 :wave:

^^ just good??

If you got them, please give us more feedback..

cheers

hehe ok umm.. There is alot of talk in that tyre thread - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=72923

These ratings are based on only two tyres ive used, Continental Sports Contact 2s and T1Rs

T1Rs:

Grips quite hard in dry. 9/10

In the wet it also grips very well. 8/10

Was on bells line one time, wet and foggy with crappy fronts (nearly worn) but the rears (T1R) stuck to the ground very well. N1GTR drove my car with the T1R on putty road in the wet he found the rears holding well, but the fronts werent, prolly coz his used to driving a GTR. For the price he'd rather get the Khumo ones. :

Havent noticed much tread wear, prolly coz I dont drive the car much these days.

The T1Rs use a soft compound compared to most say Continental Sports Contact 2s (I had these when I bought the car, in the wet and bold they were bad! Then again any bold tyre is in wet). T1Rs with a tyre rating of 280 I havent noticed much wear.

For the price $300 - 235/45/17 and $350 - 255/40/17

They are pricey. Might try some other tyres when these wear out. Maybe in a year or two ? lol

Just in case your interested according to some victorian police, SPMAXX's are in fact "racing slicks" and not legal.. Yep thats what i just got told and canaried for. I mean they are pretty low on tread but are legal by about 2 mil (work for a tyre company). And i got the same flipping tyres on the front, i mean come on -__-

Just found out i get 2 free tyres every 6 months though, so ill be putting some free SPMAXX's on the back.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
