Sold Out!!

yes I had 300 tires - all sold

No I do not work for dunlop

No I do not work for a tire shop

Yes I have a mate that I am selling them for, he got 400 tires and rims from last years XR6, has sold the rims, and 100 tires are not what I class as good to sell, maybe just for commodore drivers to rip up, thats about it. The remaining 300 have the small imperfections as shown in the photo, the sidewall is not damaged, and the tires are still road legal, they are factory seconds.

Hope this helps

Some have slight imperfections, as pictured below, nothing worse than this.

Oi dude, can see ya lurking. How's about if I sort with Toll to pick up the tyres? All you gotta do is tie a bit of string around four of the buggers.

Can't be too hard. So, exactly what sort of Dunlop SP Sport are they? I've been checking and there are several different tyres under that heading, ranging from AP3000's to Maxx's. Which ones you got? Are they seconds or top notch?

What's Dunlop's policy on them? Still kosher for road use or are we on our own if something goes wrong? What about legality?

Yeah I've seen the pic. Just making sure my arse is gonna be covered before I think about parting with cash.

The imperfections were made by dunlops claw machine whilst picking up the tires, they are still road legal.

Your right, they came out factory on the XR6 last year, however not many were sold and therefore there are heaps of tires left over..rims already sold...

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
