You can't compare the hankooks to RE55, its a whole different class... i had the hankooks on my car and found them to be pretty good for the price... i've got a set of yoko advans on there now which aren't bad, might be a touch better than the hankooks, and i've got a set of SP9000s ready to go on next so will see how that goes. I have RE55s for track and you can't even begin to compare them to any street tyre...

Yes im completely aware they are a whole different class of tyre, thats why i added "another fact to bear" is that i had used them. i was running the hankooks with my GTR making 500ish HP and felt it deserved much better rubber, but yes unfortunately price plays a factor but i feel its worth mentioning that an extra grand on top of a set of tyres is nothing if it keeps you out of the bushes! And like i said, he may like them and we all expect different things, they were comfy to drive around on and werent bad straightline acel in the wet. be interested to hear his review, and see some pics!!

cheers

Hi again,

I drive the car every-day and straight line performance and wet day ability is my concern .

Lets face it ,if you try to fling a gtr around a Melbourne Street Corner at 80KM's an hour in

the wet no-matter what performance tyre ,you are asking for trouble.

Also you need to take into account the car is driven more than 10000KM's per year.

I am looking at doing some track work soon ,but I am a Newbie at this so I will not be testing my abilities to the limit.

I will post up a picture soon ...so all can envy. :)

Thanks again for your replies.

Cheers

well if this is the case then you'll prob be happy with them. I was coming from an angle of hard driving, but as mentioned, straight line accel and comfort is decent..

hey dude, nice! how are the tyres going for you?

is that stock ride height? I cant wait to get my gtr back on the road!!!!!!

SLY33 they are stock height and feel good.

I bought the car with standard rims,the lock nuts and bolts how ever were aluminium.

The suspension is Ohlin's and quite bumpy.

This was my concern and the reason I started this thread, I did not want it to get any worse.

I had always thought they took a good set rims off this car from the start.

You would not believe it ,the car now drives like it should have these rims and tyres.

Hardly any bumps and better control. :P

Maybe the suspension was tuned to 10 INCH Rims and wider tyres.

I am not sure , but ride ,turn and feel has changed for the better. :P

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
