Nick, give Mark at SA Motorsport Tyres a call on 0409 288 380.

He's the SA Federal and Hankook motorsport dealer, he'll be able to advise you of something decent for daily use. I'm waiting on him to sort my wheels out before we go tyres, but he did have some ideas and will be able to tell you whether it is or isn't over the top (and he'll be honest about it!).

Tell him Ryan from Pure Motorsport sent you :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Will do. Whereabouts is his shop located? Would he be able to fit tomorrow morning? Not too keen to keep the space saver any longer then it needs to be!

hey mate

contis are a very well engineered tyre, OE fitment for alot of vehicles

pirellis are abit soft in the sidewall, more of a family highway tyre

federal ss-595's are a good performing tyre but very VERY noisey

bridgestone RE001's as suggested by kiwi are a good performance tyre with very low road noise, very stiff in the sidewall for handling

Rear tyre just got shredded (mrs driving). Booked in at NTT (North Tce Tyres) tmrw morning to get a couple of either Pirelli P7's or Continantal Contact 3's (235/45/R17) for $198 each. Thoughts/recommendations?

my thoughts....these days you can get as good or better tyres from the less known brands much cheaper.

Personally I run the 595SS Federals (and haven't found them noisey), I'd also look at falken fk452. Or generally, the top tyre in the range from any of the cheaper brands, they are a very good price/performance compromise because they can't change the top brand premium.

How much? They're a bit hardcore for everyday use aren't they?

Because I drive a lot in the mountains here I need something decent.

Up here "Option 1" are very well priced.Check their web site for prices and compare with local dealers.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
