Hi,

Having trouble picking 4x tyres for my RWD '06 Skyline 350GT so would like others opinions

These are the best prices I can get in Christchurch ($NZ Dollars) including alignment

225 40 19 Fronts / 245 40 19 Rears

Toyo T1 Sport - $1400 @ Scobie's Tyres / Tyres2Go

Hankook V12 Evo - $1400 @ Tyres2Go

Falken FK452 - $1280 @ Scobie's Tyres

Nanking NS2 - $1100 @ Tyres2Go

These are for street only useage. The factory OEM RE050A had very loud road noise and now are all bald (They lasted well, ~28,000km I think).

From looking at forums it seems the V12 Evo's are more popular than the T1 Sports, but that is because they are usually cheaper, so it seems that at the same price the Toyo T1 Sports are the better tyre, so I need to choose between T1 Sport and the cheaper FK452. I've been told that the Nanking NS2 are might be quite budget, so it's worth spending a bit more to get a better tyre.

Thanks

Mike

Yeah only comment is dont get the NS2's they are a very budget tyre. I dont have first experience with the other tyres but have heard good things on both the T1 Sport and the V12 Evo's so I think either will be great.

The FK452 are excellent and I would still be using them if I hadn't tried KU36s. I got good miles out of the 452s and they worked really well.

The T1S is reputedly also a very good tyre and given that they're less than 10% more$, you might be advised to try them. Although, I wouldn't necessarily expect them to last as long as the FK452 - they are supposed to be a whole performance grade up from the 452.

cheers

I suggest you check out tirerack.com before you get any of those. A little bit more work, since you have to order then, wire transfer money, then fit the tires but on the other hand, larger tyre range and lower prices.

A lot of people swear by RE001s (they last).

I can recommend a lot of tyres but none that last over 10,000kms :P

      I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
