tyrepower just gave me the cheapest quote for new hankook k104s - 230ea fitted. If i haven't found anything better by this arvo i'll go with them i guess..

if chris isnt a fair bit cheaper than that i'll cut my left nut off

well if shanes 17s were 150 i can expect mine would be approx 180ish? by the time i drive out there pick them up, then take them to someone to get fitted and balanced i probably would just rather go to tyrepower here at slacks creek for 230ea fitted, already in stock. that way i have a warranty too.

morning peoples how we doing???

ZOMG hey Mikey :D

where the heck was this?? :D

I just called Tempe Tyres in Sydney and arranged it over the phone (I used to always get my tyres there when I lived in Sydney). Courier costs were $10 per tyre. I saved over $500 on the cost of the tyres by buying 1000 kays away. Best price in Brisbane was $320 per tyre. I got Bob Jane Toombul to fit/balance/align for $100 or something.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
