Talk to Bullet 22 about Federal Tyres - my Federal 595rs's were so sticky at Wakefield that we had the little GTS-T up on two wheels on the last corner, and they're street legal. They might have something a bit harder that will last longer than the 595rs's and may be a bit cheaper too.

My lap times have improved significantly since getting the Federals, so I only have good things to say about them.

there is a place in fyshwick that does second hand tyres for ok prices i forget what they are called though... in saying that if bullet32 can help you out with some federals you should be happy. If you want a tyre other then federals give Marc out at Discount Tyre Service Belco a call he has hooked me up with to many tyres to list at great prices. Also a top bloke and always up for a chat.

You're thinking of Northwest Tyres. They're ok, but I bought a set of tyres there and scrubbed them out in 10,000km. You get what you pay for though.

Secondly, Marc left Canberra 2 weeks ago for sunny Hervey Bay in Qld, and no longer works at Goodyear Autocare (Previously Discount Tyre Service) in Belconnen. I would still recommend them for a good set of tyres as the guys that work there really know their stuff about tyres.

My understanding is that he still has an interest in the the two (Gungahlin and Belconnen) but has started another one down at Jervis Bay.

Yep thats the message I received as well. Marc will be back and forth a bit but spending most of his time down the Bay (the other bay).

Hi Guys - yes you are right and yes you are wrong. I have sold the Gungahlin store but still own the Belconnen store. All Discount Tyre Service stores have been re-badged Goodyear Autocare stores.

Also, I have moved to Hervey Bay and purchased another business - brake, clutch and steering.

If you are looking for tyres in Canberra pm me as I can still organise the right price for you at Belconnen.

In my absence - enjoy the cold 'cause I can guarrantee you that I am enjoying the warmer weather.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
