this is just to help fellow skyliners out, i have built a good freindship with the guys at quickfit in mitchell, anyone who needs new tyres, let me know as i can get them for pretty much trade prices through these guys, alonf with great service and friendly guys

regards

I am in need of some what they stock?

they arent going to be "dirt" cheap, just at trade prices

they have a set of the new model of falken tyres, rrp is about 330, i ordered them in for me at 250 a tyre for the 265/35/18

they get in "dirt" cheap tyres every week, 16 17 18 in wheels, they are about 90 - 120 a tyre depending on size but they dont go any further than 225 in width

(these are "retread" as in the steel belt is an old one but everything else[ ie the rubber] is brand new)

by the way these tyres grip as f!@K, they are really soft and grip like glue even in the wet from my own experience

  • 2 weeks later...
no worries, will try to get back to you tomorrow, just been a bit busy with work and uni

The ST115 is now an obsolete tyre and will no longer be available when stocks have been sold. The replacement tyre is the new FK452.

Okay guys,

What's the story? I'm getting PM's from both Kryostaisis and marc2.

If possible can I get 2 x 265/40/17 fitted on the Sat 20th this month? Oh, I'll need a wheel allignment too(not sure if QuickFit can do it, otherwise I'll head out an see Chris at Inline)

marc2 actually owns a tyre shop out in Belconnen and has never led anyone astray so I would tend to take his word over that coming from Quickfit (sorry Kryostaisis this isnt a dig against you (its great that youre offering a service to sau), ive just been f**ked over by quickfit in the past... and if a forum owner actually owns a business then my "loyalty" would lie with buying from and supporting him as he has more incentive to look after forum members/users).

I bought 4 brand new tyres only a couple of weeks ago and got a wheel allignment from Marc the one thing that was really good is he took the time to get me the best price he could, have a chat, look over the car and offer some very useful advice. if this was ebay i would give him an A+++++ :( lol

Amaru your 100% right, ive been screwed over with quickfit before.. but that was the belconnen(now fyshwick) one.. those guys are wankers... tried to charge me 45 bucks each tyre to flip them, they made up an excuse saying that my tyres were too thin.. then i went to beaurepairs and they quoted me 30 each... and went to quickfit in mitchell and got it done for 15 a tyre...

if anyone had ever been to the mitchell quickfit, they would know about the freindly service.. but yeah all i want to do is help out fellow skyliners

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
