GTR wheel is 16x8 so I would go a 235/40 or a 245/35 etc. I wouldn't really recommend any cheap tyres as you get what you pay for. With 16" wheels a decent tyre shouldn't be overly expensive anyway. Give Wheelworx a call I'am sure they can point you in the right direction.

i get my rear tires from used tyre mart.....WONT skimp on the front end, cos they stop n steer.

i got a pair of conti sports 225/45/17 with 80% tread for $80 ea :cheers:

i cant afford new rears all thee time, my mech 2-way makes short work of them, and the guys there are heaps helpfull.. they let me choose the ones i want.

The terms 'good' and 'cheap' are contradictions, and should never be put together. As others have said, tyres is the one thing you definitely should not EVER skimp on. If they save your life once, then they are more than worth spending a little extra money on. How much is your life worth?

I cant understand one thing , People spend a heap load of money on turbos intercoolers all types of engine mods yet they want shit second hand tyres or just cheap new tyres, have you all forgotten one thing, the only thing between you and the road are your tyres and our a stoby pole. I work for a tyre company and i see all types of crap and trust me CHEAP MEANS CRAP . going back a while today tonight did a test on all brands of tyres and cheap tyres are just that cheap. So guys and girls have respect for your babys (beasts) spend a little more and buy tyres that you can say and spell. I mean buy a brand Name Eg: Dunlop , Goodyear , Bridgestone , Yokohama , Toyo , Pirelli , Michelin

anyway thats my rant lol

    • The more I think about it, the more I should probably go with a genuine Bride seat and rail set up. But damn the $$$ for a driver and passenger seat + rails!
    • From what I understand, stock internals should hold out for a while even if you run 500 at the crank, no? Especially if you don't run a modern turbo setup that reaches power and torque much earlier than the original twins. My engine isn't unopened either, it has N1 Pumps, head oil restrictor, new crank and cams, new piston rings, ARP head studs and Cometic headgasket along with 2860-5s. Considering everything is healthy this should run fine for a while I assume. Once my engine stops leaking shit everywhere, it'll be tuned to 370 crank first anyway, because I need to legalize the turbo setup. If I end up needing a new engine because my block actually has an issue, even though GTSboy was adamant that the whole porous block story is nonsense, before putting an engine in I'm probably gonna take care of the weakspots.
    • Hah, I have no issues with what you are doing whatsoever! You clearly know what you are getting yourself into. It's just funny reading things like this. "What's that noise?" "Oh, that's normal. That's just the engine not getting any oil. Nothing to worry about. It'll go away in a moment"  
    • Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it and might take it out as a once off if this doesn't fully charge. I did some research that said it's normal in equalisation charging. Voltage I thought was 20+ (faulty battery in multimeter) but now its on 15.9v, the max it should go to is 16.2v as per the manual. I'll provide an update once hopefully it's actually fully charged and in float mode. Waiting for it to go to 16.2v and not higher and see what happens. What I suspect has happened is that even though it's not an old battery, I did leave the car turned off for almost 4 weeks at one point then left it off for another 2 weeks which might have erroded the battery and is taking a long time to do this equlisation charge.
    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Just had a look at yours, certainly looking for a reclinable version. The Brides don't look too bad! I would still like to sit in one just to make sure it's what I'm after.    Thanks for the replies fellas.
