Hi

I found this awesome site which is tirerack.com and they have a awesome selection of tires, but when i emailed him asking about the price of delivery to Perth he quoted me $641USD for just a pair of tires :laugh: . So my question is has anyone ever brought tires from the website and what did you pay for transport.

Thanks

I bot from them when I was in the US. Good prices versus retail and a great selection. They usually ship to an approved mechanic who installs. Wonder if there would be an opportunity for a group buy as I'm sure the shipping on a container of tires would be much less....

How is Australian spec tires different?

I dont think they are different, but they have to be stamped as meeting Australian standards. They check for that at the pits when you get your car complied... so I assume it means you could get a yellow for it as well.

correct!

also if you have a crash and you dont have the stamp, your insurance will not cover you.

on a side note why not buy direct from japan?

i know afew tyres places that will import them for you.... not cheap thou upwards of $1000 for a set of 4x

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
