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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By Duncan · Posted

      I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By Duncan · Posted

      Given it happened suddenly, and when you come on boost, I'd check all your inlet - hose clamps in place and no split rubber or silicone hoses. Even the hard to get to ones near the intercooler. It's possible air that went past the air flow meter is being dumped out a big hole.
