Thanks for the advice

But when ebay shops can sell a new tyre for $190 and a local dealer asks $360 for the same model I don't think all dealers are much of a muchness

ahhhh ok.

Sorry i didnt know you were doing comparisons between online purchase and a local shop.

I have bought my last 2 sets from Tyre power Wanneroo. They have been the cheapest from the 8ish stores I got quotes from. Ring around a few others and then compare.

I found that there is a fair bit of difference between stores and by that I mean Typrepower Morley will quote different price from Tyrepower Wanneroo.

Nowadays, online maybe the way to go....Goodluck.

Cheers,

That's funny, rang them just after I posted and got a price much better than most on Kumho KU31's

where did you get your rims from?

Which ones?

The 20's on my V35 I got from Jash at C-Red

The ones I just had powdercoated were the original 18's that came with my car.

They sorta look like R34GTR rims now

What price did you get for the KU31's ? The last i checked Ku31 with tempe was about $190 EA delivered. for 235 40 18s.

Sorry if my memory fails me, but i think that's about the price i got.

Give them a ring, seriously, i highly doubt locally, the prices can be beaten. Oh yes, haggle a little too. :nyaanyaa:

Hey Chris, try Tyre Wholesalers Direct in Ozi Park, Rob, not sure what range of brands they have but he'll do you a good price if you say Dave from Rycom sent ya :nyaanyaa:

Also has S/H tyres that have maybe 80% tread etc look brand new still!

That sounds like a really good price! :nyaanyaa: That's from tyre power wanaroo?

I did some scouting previously when i was considering btw 18's and 17' rims. In the end i went 17's for the lack of dough. It was $150 for 17x235 45 and $170 for 17x255 45 delivered for KU31's. Rang a few places and couldn't get a good enough price to match that.

Cheers for the info!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
