Go the Hankook Ventus Sport K104 235x40x17 at $175 a tyre. Theyre top quality, have been chosen as OEM supplier for many big car companies etc.

I dont believe for a second any of the crap quality talk about tyres from Asia. Most companies make their tyres is asia, simply because its cheaper. The days when china/taiwan/etc being synonomous with crap quality are long over. The vast majority of companies have strict quality control proceedures, most are ISO9001 certified.

Please give me one decent brand that makes a performance tyre in an Asian country that's not Japan or Korea?

OK i dont know any of the top of my head, but if anyone wants to check where their paticular set of tyres were made click on the link below and search for the manufacturers code which is on the tyre sidewall:

I was wondering if any of you guys out there have tried some Maxxis tyres,   Victra Ma-Z1 235/45/17  to be more precise (Finished 3rd overall in wheels magazine test last month).  if so tell us about your experiences with them.

I am seriously thinking in buying some at 180 dollars a corner ;)

Cheers,

I have a set of 235/45/17 MA-Z1 on the front and they seem to be pretty good. Have done a few short track days with them and they held up really well. Great in the wet. I also have toyo t1s on the rear (255/40/17) and the tread pattern between the 2 is almost identical.

I used to have crappy Nankang ns1 on the car and they were supremely shite! Did one track day in them and understeered my way all over the place. The maxxis didnt have any troubles like they did, ran the same setup with both sets of tyres. Hope this helps.

Cheers

They are made in Taiwan, if anyone is interested in continuing with the quality control debate :P

Treadwear rate 280 traction AA, same as Dunlop Sport 9000, GoodyearEagle F1 GS-D3, Michelin Pilot Sport, and others more expensive tyres, so no extra soft compound here, as many were implying.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      That's the thing, they still add it and it makes fuel cheaper, implying adding 10% of it drops the cost of 91 by what, 5c a liter? I remember when it was barely half the price of 98. Because you know, 85% of what is in the fuel is way cheaper than 91 fuel is by volume.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Auto electricians that do repairs on automotive AC systems can source service kits. I don't know where they actually source them. I do know that there is one available for the R34 comp that I would need it for. If you have to pay someone to dismantle, clean and do needed repairs and fit kit contents, then you'd probably end up spending a good fraction of the cost of a new one. I would not be paying for that, because I would be doing it myself. My mechanic (bro-in-law) will happily source what is needed. Back in the day (like in the 80s and 90s), rebuilding an AC compressor was the standard approach, same as for starter motors, alternators, etc, because new replacements were v. expensive. After the China manufacturing boom and the rise of the disposable approach to everything, people just started throwing broken/worn stuff away and not rebuilding things.

      Is rebuilding it even a thing? Where would the shop find parts for it? I looked at some off these local online stores for my r34 and suprisingly they had brand new aftetmarket ones for $600-800 I think. I guess r32 might be a bit tougher.

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
