Falken fk 451 are really really good tyres. You'll be suprised, because they're cheap for how grippy they are (bad english, i'm tired).

I've personally used the 451 and they are the best tyre you can buy without spending crazy amounts of money.

I haven't used the 452. When my tyres need to be changed, I will try them. I'm sure they'll be ok, because they are falken's more upper range tyre.

Whatever you do, do not buy the falken ziex tyres - they're like driving on ice.

The cheapest tyres that you can buy that are decent are the nangkang nsII ultrasport. They're ok in the wet - not as grippy as the falken fk451 though.

yeah the 451s are quite good. I have had the 326s which were not terrible in the dry but were shocking in the wet. I could spin 3rd gear with just in gear acceleration and that's with a bone stock 32 GTST making probably 100rwkw max.

452 and 326 are about the same .

451 are good and so are St 115 ( now superseeded ).

You will find the SP9000 are good .

Whoa, really?

Yeah, jerry, I foudn the st115 and 451 to be very good (one of the better street tyres and not expensive either). If anything, I found the 451 to be a little bit better. Did you find that too?

So the new 452 is no good is it? it's not like the 451? because the ziex 3xx are like death traps. May as well be driving slicks in the wet.

Cheers

.

That is very untrue! The 326 and 452 are like comparing apples to oranges. The 452 is the newer model which combines features from the 451 and ST115 (both superceded models). I've got 452s on my 34. Did a fair bit of research on them before biting the bullet and very happy with them both in wet and dry. There have been a fair few positive comments from guys that are using the 452 as well. While the 452 is no ultra performance tyre, its a good compromise between grip and wear. Good mid range tyre for the money. I paid $1100 for a set of 18s in 235 and 265 close to a year ago.

There is a comparison between the 451 and 452 on the last slide.

My bad, you are are right 452 is a good tyre. I was thinking of the 512 wich is very similar to 326, both crap .

Chris, I prefer the ST 115 over the FK451, had them both on a 33 GTR but the ST115 was 18" and the FK451 17" so maybe that had something to do with it . I had the ST115 on a rex a few years ago and that was good as well. I found them holding better when half worn.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov

      That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
