Any one here used Potenza G3's, RE-01, Toyo T1R, Toyo R1R?

Im in need of new tyres and thinking of one of those tyres. Also are the R1R a semi slick?

thanks Luke

My R34 came with 255/40/17 G3s on the rear and they were absolutely awesome in all conditions. Problem is due to the unusual size, when I went replace them was quoted over $400 each. Fail

im going the G3's on the silvia for the fronts next practice.

ill find out how they hold up compared to the bridgestones ive got now that after 2 track days, their already ready to be moved to the rear to be finished off haha.

You actually want to use a KKR turbo?!

Okay.

im using a kkr330 turbo on the drift car but the internals are all replaced with garret gt28 stuff.

pretty awsome turbo, comes on boost pretty hard all the way to redline!

I went to look at a 34GT-T at Torque Motorsport on the weekend, ment to have done 64,000kms yet the interior was more warn then mine and i have done 109,000kms....

They wont give you any history either. Or let you drive it until you negotiate a deal, signing papers saying you will buy it subject to the test drive.

Why the hell does there have to be so many dodgy Skylines around. Gives me the shits.

Sounds all like Synergy Motorsport to me!!

Mate looked at a Supra, had to sign papers and put down a non-refundable deposit, etc after a test drive even though he wasn't keen on it at all after the test drive.

I'd steer away from them then. Sounds dodgy as. Reckon they've turned back the odometer?

you dont *have* to do jack. If you've driven it and dont like it, just walk away.... and if they point a firearm at you to make you sign it, the contract is void as per terms of duress

-D

Yeah I think there is something up. With KMS that low the interior should be immaculate, the wear on the steering wheel and gear knob was really bad and there were a few holes in the carpet under the drivers mat. Everything inside was more warn then mine.

The engine sounded healthy and looked clean but it could have been replaced. Cant drive it to test the gearbox which is a pain!

There was also a bit of the body kit burned/discoloured from the exhaust. My dad said it looks like a respray on it, and it only had one tyre guard which was a bit odd.

I tried to get some history but all they say is they get them from interstate and there is a privacy request....

rofl at privacy request on a used car.........I would've laughed my brains out all the way to the door.......and that would put me off any seller like that for good.

that's it just take your money else where! i buy my car when they let me test drive and if they seem a bit worried then i'll let them hold on to my license!

All imported cars look clean, especially the engine, after it's been blasted and cleaned in quarantine!

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
