No argument there!

Thanks, got it booked in

In all honesty as little as possible. I had $700 in mind as that was what I was quoted for the KU31s a while ago. I can get the Dunlops for about $440 as they are on sale at the moment. But I'm open to suggestion.

Cool, I'll have a look. I'm after 215/50/17

Hi all Forgive me if there is a thread already somewhere covering this, I had a quick search but couldn't see one. I need to get some new tyres for my 1999 C34 RS4S which is sitting on the stock rims at present. I went to get some KU31s only to be told they are discontinued. I went to another store and was recommended Dunlop LM703s which seem to get mixed reviews. Any recommendations as to tyres worth looking at? Thanks Tim

What Kazal said sounds about right. From memory my process took about 4 months from paying the broker fee to collecting my car, all depending on how strict you are in what you are after and what comes up in the auctions.

Definitely worth having a talk to Kristian @ Iron Chef. I got my C34 through him and it was heaps better than what I could have gotten through a dealer. It is worth the wait

Nice! I like the rims, what are they?

+1 for Northshore Prestige, they were fantastic to deal with when I was looking and know their stuff. Almost tempted me into an M35, but I wanted a manual so went the C34 route. They are in Sydney so a bit further for you to travel, but worth it if you can. Another option may be to import your own through Kristian at Iron Chef Imports. I imported my C34 through him and he was really helpful and knowledgeable.

Thanks Scotty. Anyone else able to help confirm the part number?

Hey all I've had a bit of a search but couldn't find the part number for the walbro fuel pump for a 1999 stagea? Is anyone able to confirm whether I need the gss-341 or gss-342? Thanks Tim

Hi all Got pulled over for the first time in my car tonight, the officer thought my front wheels protruted past my guards and has given me 14 days to get it into an AIS to get it checked out. Can anyone suggest any places around Launceston which might be a bit more sympathetic? The wheels sit pretty flush but I don't think they're outside the guards so I'm hoping to find somewhere that agrees. In the event that I need to do something about it, can anyone suggest any good places to get guards rolled? Thanks Tim

That should fit straight on as far as I know. Series 2 grills have the holes for the fog lights, series 1 grills don't. Apart from that they are pretty standard as far as I am aware. Mine just fitted straight on when I got it.

That won't fit your car as it is for a series one and you've got a series two. Check out Import Monster, I got my NA grill (pretty much the same as the one in your link) through them for about $180, and it only took about a week to get from Japan to Tassie.

Hey all Just thought I'd let you know that Shamrock shirts have not got a few different stagea designs you can get on both short and long sleeve t-shirts and hoodies. They have both C34 and M35 specific designs including "My groceries go faster than yours". I've bought stuff from them before and it is good quality gear. http://www.shamrockshirts.com.au/ Tim

Nice! I'm not normally an M35 fan, but that's one good looking car!

Tru-Wheels in Wellington St?

Should do. Mine are 18x9.5 +15

At a guess from looking at the sizes you'd have to go with the x-large car ones as I think the stags are more than 490cm long

My 1999 RS4S gets 204kw on 10psi running BP Ultimate.

Ah fair enough, my misunderstanding. Yep mine is an RS4S, running stock suspension etc at the moment so no camber or anything

Don't they need to be the same all around to make sure all four wheels have the same rolling diameter? In answer to your question I think you'd be after about +15. Mine (pics above) are 18x9.5 +15

Cool, thanks. I would have come along on Friday but unfortunately I fly out Friday night. Next time I'm up I'll see if I can make it along, always good to meet others in the community.

Hi all I'm on holiday for a few days visiting my family (unfortuantely without my car) and will have tomorrow to go Christmas shopping, so I was wondering if there were any import friendly car shops that would be worth checking out while I am out and about? I'll be borrowing my parents car so should be able to get to most places (if I can remember my way around). Thanks Tim
