I bought my rims and tyres from them, also some BC coilovers. I was very happy with their service but I put the wheels on myself so I don't know about the loose nut issues.

Depends on your budget and what you're after. As said, Option 1 will give closest to the best (if not the best) deal for Kuhmo and Federals locally. But if you want something like the Bridgestones/Michelin etc, try importing from Tirerack in the states. I got a set of Michelin PS2 there for the price of the Federal RSR locally.

Heeeeyyyy any one able to put my new tyres on rims for a good price around the coast south brissy area :)

Just check to ensure your wheel nuts are put on tight I got new tyres and all the bolts were barely hand tight

I had the opposite issue, had i got a flat i'd hvae been boned.

Well, maybe. The thickness of the sidewall on the RSR's makes me wonder if i'd just be able to use it as a run flat :yucky:

That's fairly common from tyre shops - they just smash them on with a rattle gun :(.

It's not recommended. They roll OK but it ruins the tyre, and they aren't cheap...

Have heard it happen a few times (once was a mates diff and they didn't put the main bolts that hold it to the car back in so just banged around) just check them before you leave and should all be sweet. Good pricing though.

I had the same experience with option1 garage...got 4 new tyres as price on federals was good but noticed a strange rattling sound on the way home. Turns out that on the drivers side front I had a bolt flying around held in only by the plastic stock centre cap...another bolt was loose, half on...drivers back tyre was the same, a bolt totally off and others loose.

WTF? Scared me as I was about to go on a trip up the SC...Planned to have other stuff done but haven't gone back since because of the workmanship (or lack thereof).

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
