Looking to get a couple of new tyres for the stag. Tyre size is 235/45/17 (if i recall correctly!). Last place i went was Tyre Power on Magill Rd, I've been told Blackwood Tyre Power is a good place to go to. Any ideas where i should go? Looking to spend about $100-$150 per tyre. Recommendations on reasonable priced vendors? thanks.

maxxis z1 ftl :( noooooo grip!

I rate them ;) (Maxxis Vectra MA-Z1) good grip wet or dry, close to my Bridgestone SO3's

I also believe they rate well in most comparison tests, and especially for the price (half of the SO3 price)

Craig, your problem could be suspension rather than rubber.

I'd personally be allowing a good $1000 for all round rubber.

yeh that's usually a good number for 17-18" tyres. i personally think at least around $200ea new, unless ur drifting in low level comps.

just seems kinda like a waste to spend $$ on a performance car, then modify the power and suspension only to put shitty tread on it and cancel it all out because u have f**k all grip.

Agree with both of the above.

Maxxis rated well in independant tests; are silicon based; have an agressive tred pattern (asthetics); and had a good price (just over $200 each for a 17" tyre).

      Drivers R32 GTR seat

      By mtopxsecret6 · Posted

      Hi everyone, just looking to see what's available in the GTR seat options, testing the waters on what's available. Wanting a driver's seat to replace my old school OG jap race seat, going to re-register the car so need a factory seat. Prices currently seem to go from $300 to $2k for a driver's seat. What's options are there, that's good condition and actually a realistic price? Located Brisbane. Thanks

      Are these a plug and play setup, and do they need a tune, like a haltech ecu etc? Thanks

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Been over 2 months since I have done anything on the S15 and had a day off today so got stuck into mounting the radiator and intercooler. I ended up using factory bottom mounts as bolted in and I did order some gktech top brackets but didn't work with the PWR radiator so made up some with aluminium flat bar. Spent way to long on them but pretty happy how they are. Next job was the intercooler. Used some more aluminium flat bar and did the bottom mounts first. Top was easy as just one long piece and 2 90 degree coming off rad support and welded them on. The bumper support required some notching to let the outlets sit where I want so will add some reinforcement later to strengthen it. I have also bought ecu and waiting for it to arrive. Went with a Link g4x Xtreme but will be adding a ptmotorsport expander to add a few extra inputs over CAN. Went through a few different configurations on pclink to get what I want to allow future expansion for sensors and gearbox upgrades. Ordered gktech rear arms but looking at the hardrace lower control arms to have some extra adjustment too will see how the alignment looks after first setup. Got 2 more weeks of work before shut down and will have almost 4 weeks to work on this so planning on hopefully firing up mid January.   Also bought a 2015 brz with a heap of good gear, did noosa hill climb a month back. Owned it for 3 days changed alignment and sent it. Finished the weekend 2nd in class and only .3 off the 180sx best time last year. MCA Red coilovers, gktech rear lca, bolt on lock kit and tie rods, whiteline toe arms, cusco 1.5way diff and 4.5 ratio, endless brake pads, headers, exhaust, perrin intake and e85 tune. Electronic steering adjustment, nankang crs with koya wheels 17x9 +35. Have bought rear traction arm and relocation kit, extended studs and v3 tie rod kit. Planning on also getting flex tune as lucky to get 300km a tank with e85 and short ratio. Car is a heap of fun to drive and super easy to work on. AC in the line up at Noosa was mint in 35degree weather.
