Hey guys,

I was just reading through the Tyre thread in the Suspension section and noting the pricing. I'm after some Hankook K-104s and apparently the price you guys got was $160 for 235/45R17. I went shopping around today for tyres and the pricing was no where near what was in that thread.

So I'm just wondering where do you go for such good prices? You'd have to know the owner for that price I'm guessing?

Thanks :)

I went looking for tyres last week - amongst the quote was K104's in 255/40/17 for $315. I've ended up going where I usually do - Trackside Tyres in Kilsyth. Falken Azenis RT615 $365. I was quoted $425 for them at the same place as the K104s.
WTF!!

$315 for 17", i paid $300 for my 19's.

Hence why I walked out the door.

The Tyre Factory in Mitcham.

235/45/17 K104, about $180 each fitted

Tell them you know me (Pete), speak to Dennis.

Problem solved,

Problem is already solved - I wanted to replace my Azenis with Azenis and Craig came up with the goods once again. I think $365 for Falken Azenis RT615 255/40/17 is a very good deal.

I usually buy my tyres from Tyrepower in Sunshine (On McIntyre Rd). Great service and its one of the only places in the area where you can get a wheel alignment on a low car with a kit.

I payed $220 for 235/40/18's for my 180. ;)

Im after rears

Hankook K104

255/40/18

prices please ;)

Correct me someone if I am wrong, but I have a feeling that problems happen wit 255/18's on skylines.

Not sure if it was a 34 ting or Skylines in general, but was a driving issue with these - if only a speedo accuracy problem.

265/35/18's were the go.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
