Hey everyone,

We all know how bad the Falken 326's have been. I have been lucky or unlucky depending which way you look at it to get 26,000kms from my rears. They are due for replacement and it has been suggested that the 329's are a vast improvement over the superseeded 326's. Has anyone tried these and are they any better?

Look forward to hearing your replies.

Cheers

Chris

Thanks for the reply Nismo I will look into it. I cant explain how bad the 326's were I thought my suspension was failing me because of the ride but I had that all tested and everything was fine. Turned out the tyres were the issue.

Ive seen peoples rating on them in the tyre thread and I agree with everyone comments. Worst tyre I have ever had.

Forget bout the 329s unless you are a cab driver. Look at the FK452s instead, thats what I was recommended as its the newer version combining thread patterns from the previous 451 and ST115.

www.fk452.com

I've got these ( FK452 ) on my car now and they're pretty good. 245/40/18 Front & 275/35/18 Rear.

They're not as good as the Toyo T1R's ( and other, more expensive tyres ) but for the $'s they do the trick. They seem to be more of a low cost "Euro Sports Car" tyre with quiet tread, not the firmest sidewalls but have decent grip. I just hope they last longer than FK451's did !

Im amazed you are even considering 329's after having 326 and know how incredibly shit they are. Seems very strange.

Pick a budget and shop around, falkens arent the only tyre that exists, and spending more on a set of tires is worth it. why have a performance car with mods and shit tyres.....

Was told they were a better designed tyre than the 326's and was offered them at a very good price which is the reason why I asked.

Thanks for the reply.

Sounds like you have been lucky. I must of got some duds or something as I stated my rears lasted roughly 26,000k's

      I would sell those side feeds before you hydra-lock a motor. I won't say too much about Yellow Jackets because I'll hurt people's feelings, however ask those that tune RBs day in/out what they think of them.

      The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄

      Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....

      Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated

      Any feedback on GReddy Turbine Kit T620Z in r33 GTST/RB25DET?

      Nice modern Hypergear high flow would be perfect.
