Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE002.

I had the RE001 and they were good to begin with and then hardened up like a rock when they were half worn. I switched rims and bought new tyres, and the RE001s did SEVERAL texi days (including lots of drifting and smoke) before finally showing belts. Couldn't believe how long they lasted, far longer than any "shit" tyre I've taken to Texi. Never again!!

Dunlop Sport Maxx TT - great tyre, pricey but gripped like shit to a blanket in the wet and dry right down to the wear limiters.

I can also vouch for the maxx sport TT had them on the evo when i bought it. They are a great all rounder too but i reckon i took them from around 65-70% rubber to the wear bars in around 4000km. That was spirited mountains drives mainly :)

Might be a bit late here. I've read a lot of reviews of tyres and used several too.

The best I have used in the wet are Michelin Pilot Sport 3 - just mind blowing. I did a 2 day Tarmac Rally which was wet, sometimes with standing water using the PS3 and they were incredible.

A friend of mine is a bit of a tyre nut too, he seems to think his Goodyear Asymetric 2 were a tiny bit better in the wet, maybe 10% better than the PS3 but both outstanding tyres.

Reviews suggest the Toyo Proxes T1 Sport are also excellent in the wet.

Some friends of mine have had bad experience with KU36 for a wet tyre, reviews would suggest the same.

My vote would be the Michelin, Goodyear or Toyo.

I like KU31's as a street tyre for just normal driving. Plenty of confidence in the wet. I run Yokohamas now (not sure on type) and they are a little quieter but I dont think they are quite as good in the wet.

Depends what OP uses the car for primarily

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
