So I ended up running the 235/40/18 on a 9” and a 255/35/18 on a 9.5” rim. The RS4 (or Z232 as referred to in NZ) seems to be a wide tyre. They are definitely wider than my old Falkens. The pi

that is the most biased review ever. Paid-to-plug I think. read recent posts, I didn't rate the RE003's. Go the invo's instead.

Hi Guys,

I have falken 452's all round but need new fronts to pass rego as they are super worn. I can see a lot of positive comments for the yoko AD08R. My car is strictly street use and does not get driven too hard, but i do drive in dry and wet conditions. Are these OK or better off getting something else like toyo t1's?

AD08 would be massive overkill for your requirements.

Seen those MOMO M3? You can get KU31, FK453/FK453, Nitto, etc. Lots of options mate.

Get some Kumho KU31 or KU39 as it's just a street car.. both tyres mentioned are heaps better that those Falken tyres.

OR Step it up a notch, get some Nitto INVO, fantastic daily tyre that doesn't mind a few laps on the track.

Anyone got personal experience with the Invo's and tyre noise? I'm trying to find something that's nice and quiet in a 235/45/17.

yep, less noisy than the Kumho KU31

I really liked them, but had to upgrade the INVO to NT01 for track purposes.. found the INVO would die after 2/3 laps

Yep got nitto invo on my car. Very quiet.

Not the best tyre but petty good for price at the time, just need a bit of warmth in them to stick. Might be ok on a heavy GTR (got them on focus ST).

wouldn't piss on KU 31, or 36. ( Tried both on my r32gtr) and there are much better options out there.

Not a big fan of kumho... i sincerely doubt they are better than the falken 452s. 453 or other falkens sure but the 452 i have been very happy with wet and dry.

Still umming and ahhhhing between the PS3 and Momo M3... need to decide by 8am lol

While the recommended tyres for the NM35 Stagea according to the placard in my door sill are 225-50 -R18's I have found them to be an odd size in Australia and they are not cheap.

I switched to using Michelin 245-40 - R18's ( Same tire size fitted as standard to many Fords and Holdens ) thus making these cheap in comparison to other sizes.
Yes there is a slight speed error ie the Speedometer reads approximately 10 K fast at 100 KPH.
ie 110 indicated is 100 Kph but no worse than was originally there.

Impressions:-

Now my immediate take on these tires is they are significantly smoother and quieter than the 225/45's that were on it when purchased, and the grip level is bloody fantastic both Wet and Dry, I'll reserve comment on Snow and Ice to after we get our first snows but given the cost of the Michelin's in comparison with other tyres's especially for commercial passenger carriage I highly recommend them.

The big thing is while there is a speedometer error it is in the driver's favour so you read faster that your actually travelling. I am continually surprised how good the grip level is on these tyres.
They blow Uni-Royal's into the weeds for quality and grip IMHO but go ask your local tyre shops and enquire as to what they might recommend .

Just after some personnel recommendations.

I need to get some tires for my 33 (wheels will be 17x9.5, hopefully running 245/40)

On my s13 I've ran Nexen 6000's and KU31, i thoroughly enjoyed both though the s13 was lighter and N/A so not too sure how the 33 will run on them. Just wanted to see what people have ran and how they are? Read through this thread a bit and saw few people comment on fee tires.

For the rears I'm just going to just ATR's as they've been really good in the past on the silvia and happy how they are.

Can't recommend any personnel as you haven't specified what you're looking for in a person.

For tyres, did you read this thread? If you're happy with what you ran previously, go with that. Otherwise, read through the last few (tens of) pages.

Sorry about that, it's more for a daily car yet still going on the track when possible, mainly drifting.

Cheers for the link I'll have a read through it!

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      I am going to chime in here and say that is very bad advice for a built motor, making decent power of 400kW+ Especially if the rings have been gapped on the looser side. The more power you make the heavier you need your oil to be to be able to maintain that suspension between the moving parts, if not you'll have journals and bearings making love and grenade a motor. Remember that all moving parts inside the motor aren't ball bearing and are journal bearings and require oil to separate the surfaces from contacting.

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      ENR34 manual transmission transfer cases are 33100-23U00 which is shared with all of the R32/R33 GT-Rs and GTS-4s. And the C34 Stagea. Do not bother with automatics, that is a huge effort to swap and the car will be worse for it. And an automatic transfer case does not have the right housing for the shifter which comes out the back of the transmission and goes through the transfer case. I already posted my response on reddit but if you didn't see it there here it is: You have almost certainly damaged the transfer case, the only question is how badly. Nobody can tell you how bad without more information. If you have a giant hole in the transfer case pissing out all the transfer case fluid then you need a new one. If it's not that bad then the only question is whether you burned up the clutches. Drain the transfer case oil and inspect for metal on the drain plug magnet. Small black filings are normal. Big chunks of metal or a ton of black fuzzies not so much. Fluid should be nice and red. Any other color isn't great. If the color is reasonably red and there's not a bunch of clutch material discoloring it or anything like that you probably got away with insubstantial excess wear not worth trying to fix. If you have to rebuild or replace the transfer case keep in mind you have to pull the transmission to get it off.

      By blind_elk · Posted

      Can I suggest a 15W50 oil is too heavy. Its a brand new engine - you should be able to run something like a 10W30. Shove some steel wool into your catch can  - more technically "oil/air separator" - so that the oil vapour has something to condense on.
