hi guys i have to buy some new tyres . The size i have on at the moment is 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear. The rears are good at this stage but i need to replace the front two.

What i wanted to know was from everyone's experience whats the best tyre they have found in regards to wear and performance. Im not after something that wears down by the day and incredible handling. I just want to hold a bit of grip in the dry and wet .

Also i have found a set cheap on ebay but the size is 235/45/19 will they fit without rubbing the guards. Does anyone else have this size tyre on . My car is factory height from what i can see .

I think those 45 profile will throw your speedo out by too much.

45 profile is for 18s, 19s you will have to step down to 40 or 35 depending on tyre width to keep the rolling diameter and speedo accurate.

A few good tyres I recommend which I have used:

1. Falken FK452

2. Sumitomo HTR-ZIII

3. Federal SS595

They are decent tyres with a good combination of grip and wear without blowing the budget. If the above is still not within budget then ur next step down are your Nangkangs, Maxxis and Nexens.

I normally use this calculator to work out tyre sizes. Stick in the factory specs eg: 225/45/18 and insert the possible tyre profiles in 19s which you are after. Rule of thumb is you should stay within 15mm of stock diameter.

The ones im looking at buying is the pirelli p-zero 235/45/19 i can get them for $600 for the pair. Also the yokahama in 245/35/19 for $600 for the pair. Have you or anyone heard of a italian tyre starts with the letter M ?

How much is the falken's ?

Falkens cost me just over $300 for 265 in 18s. Do not get the pirellis in the 235/45/19 as it is way out and you will probably start scrubbing...Tyre starting with M...Michelin?

i guess i will have to let me pirelli go then. And the tyre is not michelin something else. I saw alot of them listed on ebay before and now they are hard to find. I will try doing a search for them alot of people using them give them the thumbs up.

yeh i think if anything the biggest profile you'll want to go is 40...judging by ur picture though 45's wouldn't look/be too bad...do the 245's stretch? what size is ur rim?...if 245's don't stretch on ur wheel u can get 235 but by the looks of it 245 should be the best choice.

I have no idea what you mean by stretch . I dont know the size of the rim either . But a few people have said falken tyres seems to be ok for the money.

So you think the 235/45/19 would fit ok on these wheels

Im not really concerned that much about money value just handling and wear. I have never been a fan of falken . For some reason always like the brands like pirelli , michelin and yokohama.

Has anyone used the yokohama AVS im looking at getting a pair in 245/35/19 for $600 pretty good deal i think.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
