Dude a couple of things:

A. You do realise that you are replying to a post from 2 years ago?!?! I'm guessing the dude has probably bought new tyres by now...

B. The Falken FK452 is a fantastic tyre that supplies a ton of grip, progressive breakaway, as well as good wear and low road noise, they are also unbeatable bang-for-buck when compared with the competiton

C. As you have admitted NEVER having driven on a set, I'd say you are in no position to comment

D. You are clearly a twat :)

Dude a couple of things:

A. I'm not the one who bumped an ancient thread, you appear to have a lot of time on your hands to read things that closely and then take exception to something and post. Yes, I'm sure he will never read my reply. Big whoop.

B. That's great, but my original comment still stands that if you "just bought" a set of tyres you are totally unqualified to comment on them. Wait until they are half worn, and if they are still a great tyre then you can wax idiotic about them. Messiah's post above mine and Duncan's previously are perfect examples of people whose opinion I DO take seriously (except Duncan, sorry mate ;)) because they have been through several sets and nothing else compares.

C. My comment was not directed at FK452s in particular, so your point is irrelevant

D. You clearly have me beat in the twat department after missing the point so conclusively, and I am not interested in challenging you at being a complete douche.

lol thanks mate.

anyway...I still rate falken 452 as some of the best tyres around....however any NSW club member would be mad to go past federal 595SS at the price we get them thru the club. Not as good as the falkens but close, and half the price.

or you could pay 500 a corner for something similar from dunlop/bridgestone/goodyear etc.

BTW don't judge a tyre range on one tyre model. All of the large manufacturers have a range of tyre models at different price points....don't judge a tyre brand by it's crappy cheapy tyre.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
