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).

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
    • thanks, will conduct myself accordingly. i unfortunately put about 150 miles on the car before reading this thread again, however no PS issues, and definitely no turbo issues. it spools normally and still feels fast to me, probably because my previous car was an N/A auto sedan...gonna go fix the PS vacuum line though lol. safe to say, got what i came to this thread for. thanks  
    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
