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

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

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      New Skyline will be RWD and manual

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
