Wtb: 265/35R18 Tyres (New Or Excellent Condition)


Recommended Posts

Have you looked into Tempe tyres?

Correct...

Tempe Tyres do parallel buying on certain brands (to stay ahead of the competition).

Those brands include, Kumho, Falken and Continental.

Taleb Tyres do parallel buying on Nitto.

On a GT-R, I wouldn't compromise on lower quality than that.

If the Fed Gov't introduces a tax on eBay and overseas purchases (like Tire Rack), the prices will go higher.

As a stop-gap, you might ask any friendly importer if they have leftover tyres from grey imports, being careful to stay away from snow tyres.

Tried Skylinespares.com.au ??

I got my Falken FK452 for $190 each. Bit more delivered, but it's almost equivalent to 2nd hand tyres anyway.

You can get cheaper brands as well.

Sorry for hijacking the thread but I'm after something a little stickier.

I might have a pair of Brand new Hankook Rs3 265/40/18 arriving this or next week that I may not need

I might have 3 x pairs actually if I find out they dont suit my car

    • Definitely the stroker kit. once you mention you have a RB28 everyone will assume you will flog them and hopefully won't start asking about support mods. Anyone will be too scared to race you, except maybe the RB30 boys
    • Just a quick update: I decided to go ahead with the de-cat for now. The exhaust shop inspected the catalytic converter and said it was in good condition. I took a look myself, and it does not appear broken nor clogged. After the de-cat, the car feels more responsive and smoother. The shop also reinstalled the exhaust temperature sensor into the de-cat pipe, and now the warning light no longer comes on, even when driving hard. The only thing that’s bugging me is the tinny, “can-like” sound the exhaust makes now (similar to having a hole in the muffler). The shop suggested that I might need to replace the muffler. I'll have to think on what to do next.  
    • I want to start upgrading but don't have the budget to drop 15k at once, if i was to do one first which would be better and why?
    • Yuh. It is very rare for a single turbo to throw ceramic into the engine. Quite common on GTRs. As I posted above. Mine did destroy the O2 sensor on the way out though! Plastic compressor is fine with the temperature. It's not some flimsy PE/PET/PP thermoplastic. It's a thermoset resin with reinforcing material in it (a composite, as posted by @Lithium above). The compressor never sees much more than 100°C because it's never boosting very high. If you boost it high enough to make a lot of temperature, then the turbine will depart the scene and stop the party anyway.
    • From what I understand, it's a ceramic turbine and a plastic compressor (not sure how it doesn't melt then lol) I heard the series 2 r34 gtt has a metal turbine but I doubt that. @GTSBoy When you blew your standard neo turbo it didn't cause damage from memory just the turbine ended up in the cat?
