Yeah, was thinking the same thing about QR, but I got an absolute bargain today on semi-slicks for my stock rims. Brand new tyres, fitted for $108 per tyre!! They are probably shite, but at least I won't be flogging my good tyres anymore.

hmm so we know who to blame if its as bumpy as the old one!!

i thought that road was the deacon deviation or something?

we only design it, we've got nothing to do with how it is laid etc...that will be done by the contractor

home alone tonite ;)

ahh ok... still as the closest person to that bridge i for one will hold you personally responsible!!

home alone aswell... what to do what to do.. i cant drive anywhere unnecessary as my brakes are worn and making noises. Last time it happened in the cressida the pad fell out and the piston was rubbing against the rotor after a while

OK, to answer everyone, the Deagon Deviation is the part of the Gateway that goes to Redcliffe via the Houghton Highway over the Hornibrook Bridge.

The tyres were for my stock rims so they are 16"s

I also got two new tyres for my 18's as the Silverstone shite ones were down to the canvas after some "spirited" driving after Dinner on Wednesday night. They are Nexens and were $148 each and before anyone says they are cheap crap, I know but they were CHEAP and a few guys I trust are running them as well and have said they are pretty good. I will see, and if they aren't good enough, I will get two more Firestone Firehawks which I reckon are fantastic tyres.

Does anyone know where I can get prices on Bride seats, the GIAS recliner is the one I'm looking at as it will lower my seating position and allow me to wear my helmet at track days without banging my head on the roof and sitting awkwardly.

i've got nexens on the back of my car (265/35 18's - 220ea) and yes they really aren't a bad tyre once you get over the brand snobbery. Ok so they're no advans but for the price they're not bad..

no idea on the seat question dave.. i have a similar problem, last trackday i had to recline the seat back fully sik bro croozin spec so i had room

Evening Mike!!!!!! How is Jaime and the sprog??? Still bigger than his old man???

Yup, bubs is now 7960grams so he could take any of you tough guys on. If he could be bothered getting up and walking that is.

Oh, by the way, the new plates arrived on Wednesday and they are just as bad, if not worse than the first lot!! I rang Mud and we will wait until he gets his to do something about them.

PPQ are teh suxor!!!

I'm off to play AA for a couple of hours. Working all weekend!!

Half way down are the Bride GIAS seats, not cheap at $1800 for red or $1850 for black. oh and then u need a rail, which is $240

Shit!! That is expencive!! Might have to try and find a barge-ass seat that is way cheaper!!

AA is Americas Army. Free to download but a BIG download and then you play online. Not bad for a game made by the US Army to recruit soldiers!!

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
