All,

I recieved a phone call from a wholesale friend I use for tyres. He has the following size Toyo R888's NEW available.

195x55x15's $165 each Low stock

215x50x15's $165 each

225x45x16's $200 each

215x45x17's $240 each 4 left

225x45x17's $250 each low stock

235x45x17's $250 each Sold out

255x40x17's $260 each Sold out

Sorry no 18's :thumbsup:

You will have to move quick as he is selling them to all his tyre shops at this price, post up and PM me if you are interested and can pay straight away. These are one of the best Semi's around, road leagal and great for track or drag work. Do your reseach on the internet before you buy.

Thanks Paul

great price...everyone thinking about doing some of the upcoming track days buy these :D They are about half the price of most semi slicks, and will be cheaper than wrecking road tyres at the track

To answer your question, very slippery would be the best way to describe the wet performance. These are a purpose built track tyre and do not really suit a daily road driver. You would only expect to get say 5000km tops on the road. Having uses the Toyo T1R, I can tell you it’s a better road/track tyre and is great in the wet. I got about 17,000km out of them with 5-6 track days. But the T1R's can be more expensive then the R888 prices above, but will last 3 times longer, but R888 will give you probably 3 sec quicker times at the track.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
