Hey guys,

I'm looking at buying some new tires and rims, after finding out just how *shot* my current tyres are..

The ones im looking at buying are a set of Speedy Inferno (machined) rims and tyres.

So far i've been quoted by Tyrepower on a set of 18" Inferno's 18x8.0 with a set of Kumo's 235/40/18's for $1980 and i'd just like other users opinions on if this is a good price?

I'm about to start ringing around to find other prices, but thought i'd ask here as well >_<

That sounds pretty good. I just bought some 18's too and am fitting the same size tyre. I would just recommend you do some investigation on the quality of those tyres. They're probably not the greatest. Do some research, and if you're happy with the tyres, then go for it. Otherwise, buy the rims, and get tyres seperately. If you shop around, you can get tyres that size for around $800 that are higher quality.

reasonable. you could get cheaper but as r33-gts said shop around for tyres if your going to do any serious speed you need to be able to trust your tyres

I just bought some chrome 18s for my missus car but as its a 4x4 they cost a little more for tyres my bill was 2500 all up

i got some 18inch forged jap rims and tires 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 with falkens and wen i get around to selling them they will be much cheaper than 1900 and would look 10times better. >_< in other words you can get better rims that are japanese and look better second hand if you wait awhile and dont rush into it. Or just source a set from japan

I bought that car minus hte 19's (wanted the stockers). They'll still be sitting there in his garage, i know he wouldnt have advertised em. Give him a call (top bloke), maybe get em for a decent price. Rims were like new and nearly full amount of rubber left from memory

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
