taleb tyres will get you the dunlops, bridgstones and toyos all at good prices. No need for tire rack if you are after these.

ended up with the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ Jack and modified 5T AC Hydraulics jack stands Click here

ha! classic photo at the grid japanese muscle surrounded by ze germans

yes that jack is a big mofo by the way, its just for the garage

took some time getting the stuff I felt right for the job but although this has all been done before (thanks Duncan) I thought I would post up the gear I ended up getting to service the car pre and post track at home. AC Hydraulics DK13HLQ Jack modified 5T AC HYdraulics jack stands reverselogic jack pads tomioka ramps

btw, as expected the 888's are very noisy on the street. good grip though through hills

all current version R35's come in runflats and leather trim

yes, unfortunately limited choices up here. would love to get down to PI

Interesting. what did you think of Paul? I have a few track training sessions planned with him. First one is in a couple of weeks at QR.

did some laps with Fabian Coulthard in the GT3. Awesome experience to be driven in that car by someone who knows what they are doing. sound is unbelievable!

ok weighed the wheels when swapping over Front stock wheels and Bridgstones 28.6kg Front HRE 590R wheels and Bridgstones 28.3kg Front stock wheels and Toyo 888 26.4kg Rear stock wheels and Bridgstones 30.0kg Rear HRE 590R wheels and Bridgstones 29.7kg Rear stock wheels and Toyo 888 27.4kg Fancy 3 piece wheels 0.3kg lighter than stock. who would of guessed that! 20 inch nonrunflats save about 2.6kg over stock runflats per corner

Written up for sometime on NAGTROC. http://www.nagtroc.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=31814 I have had this short 'grinding' noise intermittently for several months. Low speed, first gear, once or twice low speed second maybe? I have only used LC2 a couple of times (no not understating to protect myself) Anyone else had this here? Taking car to Nissan prior to next track day.

thanks

waiting for some feedback via pm from nagtroc, maybe 28-30psi cold? Hot to 36psi? maybe less cold. I am led to believe they are very sensitive to temps.suggestions anyone?

Mick from Taleb Tyres sorted me out with some Toyo 888's. Dunlop's were not going to be available on time so took a punt on the Toyos. Whether you are after the Bridgestone stockers, Dunlop stockers or the Toyos these guys have the best prices and offer good service. Shipped no problem to Brisbane, Thanks Mick/Ali

Thanks Gervase some suppliers I hunted down who seem ok www.vsport.com.au www.speedmaster.net.au

Anyone able to recommend someone in Brisbane who can supply AP rotors, brake fluid and ferodo or carbotech pads at a good price? thanks

yes they are, hopefully work well with the stands coming

a couple of orders starting to trickle in. ramps and jack pad adapters... Click here

Sounds awesome, keen to hear the full specs

as suspected, the guy on NAGTROC (djreversal) has a fabricated inner wheel well solution, there is no piece to match up to the gaurd on the PWJDM fender. Jongblowed! yes it is a weird arse name. they pretty much only do custom racing wheels. Just something different to the ubiquitous TE37's. Having said that Baron, who can get me a cheap set of TE37's and what are the sizes offsets people would recommend? I will look at all options. what does a set of new 18 TE37 set you back?

Dunc, have sent off some questions including some of your points to Ryan at Jongbloed. Also geting the PWJDM guys to send me some pics of the front fender wheel well as discussed. they 'assure' me their design fits up to the plastic guards in the well. Mark

just a matter of what you can fit under the front fenders, 9.5 inch up front is about the most without aftermarket fenders. I am investigating the PWJDM front fenders but not sure on various aspects of the fit. these would however allow for 11 inch all 'round

I am going to order a set of dedicated 18 inch track wheels. I have been looking at these as an option http://www.nagtroc.org/forums/index.php?sh...mp;hl=jongbloed the wheels are made by Jongbloed. as these wheels are custom made you can have any width or offset you like. nice and light, at 19 lbs up front for 9.5 inch wheels and 21 lbs out back for 11 inch sounds like the best widths will be to suit the michelin pilot cup sport or RE55? assume these tyres go up to widths of 295 and 285 respectively? I can get wheel widths up to 9.5 up front and up to 14 in the rear according to the makers (these guys supply to the GOTO fully prepped track car in the states) but was looking to go 9.5 up front and either 10.5 or 11 inch in the rear Also, if anyone else is interested, PM me and I will see if there is any bargaining to be had (about $3600 US a set or $3200 for a group buy as per thread so not too bad for custom rims) $400 US for delivery, perhaps better if group buy also
