What kind of driving do you do, and where? What's your budget? Those factors should most influence your decision.

It'd also be nice to post up the required sizes, for those of us that don't know what the dimensions of your stock tyre are.

ive got Nexan's on my 34 and ive found that they are really really good.....i used them when i had my 18's on, and now my 19's.

and GTT brakes will fit the GT (or gts in your case really), did it with my 34. was definelty a good thing to do, :down:

Just normal daily driving, and i can spend about $220 per tyre.

cant remember teh dimensions yet so il have to check,

Also was wondering seeing as i wanted to cange the rims the car came whith and now that i have to get new tyres i shoud get the whole lot done, i seen a few packages for about $900, not sure if that was per wheel and tyre or the whole set.

hey Cara, just curiosity.. whats involved/needed to changing to GTT brakes? :down: thanks!

um not much really......need to get the bigger rotor disc for the front (310mm), rear is the same size and the NA. um the metal bit that sits behind the caliper, like a guard thing, i had to have that taken off, other than that was pretty easy to do :D

got them for 180 a corner fitted and provided a very noticable difference in handeling and braking

cheers, they sound good for what i need

i got the impression the 34 gtt brakes wont fit right on without some modding to the hub as it takes a bigger bolt size, 33 gtst will fit straight on tho. thats what ive been told. anyone kind enuff to clear this up?

mmmm... i can't clear it up but i can say that 33 gtst brakes with abs and slotted rotors definitely pulls my car up fast. much more powerful then the standard gts brakes. so for an n/a, 33 gtst brakes would be heaps.

ive got r34 gtt on the front and r33 gtst on the back

i own a 33gts4 as well and from my experiences i found the NA brakes not working very well when they heat up (too small!!), when I'm braking hard before a corner doing about 140kmh I often have to depress the pedal till it pretty much touches the back to get some decent stopping power (mind the r33gts4s weights 1440kg) but after i wacked some rotors and calipers from a GTST on the car actually STOPS :P

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
