Try Eagle Tyres in Granville ( 9637 4355 ). Last time I was there they had Kumho Ecsta 712 in 235/40 ZR18 for $250 each. Not a bad tyre and mine have lasted >35000kms so far with a few track days thrown in for good measure.

They also had Dunlop W10 for $360, Falken 326 for $240 and falken 512 for $260 ( all in 235/40/18 ).

Or alternately you could go to BobJane or Beaurepaires and pay over $500 a tyre for something like Dunlop SP9000 or Bridgestone Potenza S03's. Great tyres but I know where I'll be going for my next set. This is, however, assuming you're not after the ultimate in tyre technology/price.

thanks guys, 18's r such a hassle they tend to go bold on the inside for the front tyres for some reason, i was told this was the case when u have big wide tyres.

As for wat width i dont have a clue but i use to have 265's at the back and it was snug, so i assume 9" or so?

Oh yea i found some cheap as tyres at AJR in sefton although they r second hand i got a pair of Michelin pilot sport 245/40/18 for 140 a piece with about 80% tread.

    • Did and sync timing with light 
    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
