[Madaz]

[MissR34]

yawnies.

[Nightcrawler]

Any one here used Potenza G3's, RE-01, Toyo T1R, Toyo R1R?

Im in need of new tyres and thinking of one of those tyres. Also are the R1R a semi slick?

thanks Luke

My R34 came with 255/40/17 G3s on the rear and they were absolutely awesome in all conditions. Problem is due to the unusual size, when I went replace them was quoted over $400 each. Fail

[Import S13]

im going the G3's on the silvia for the fronts next practice.

ill find out how they hold up compared to the bridgestones ive got now that after 2 track days, their already ready to be moved to the rear to be finished off haha.

[Import S13]

You actually want to use a KKR turbo?!

Okay.

im using a kkr330 turbo on the drift car but the internals are all replaced with garret gt28 stuff.

pretty awsome turbo, comes on boost pretty hard all the way to redline!

I didn't think the kkr turbo was that bad not speaking from experience i know George put 2 on the drift 34, and there not as bad as monster turbo's

[RubyRS4]

I have a KKR 500hp turbo sitting in my shed still in box. Bought it, then lost interest in fitting it

[ontheranch]

I went to look at a 34GT-T at Torque Motorsport on the weekend, ment to have done 64,000kms yet the interior was more warn then mine and i have done 109,000kms....

They wont give you any history either. Or let you drive it until you negotiate a deal, signing papers saying you will buy it subject to the test drive.

Why the hell does there have to be so many dodgy Skylines around. Gives me the shits.

[CRoNic...]

KKR are ass. Cheap, laggy, etc.

You be the judge:

"I just bought a KKR turbo, installed it and now I hear a whining sound when it comes on boost..."

"I have a KKR turbo and when I hit boost, there's a cloud of white smoke behind me?"

"I just bought a KKR turbo. Then my wife left me. Then I heard a metal clanging sound when it hit boost?"

And the topics just roll on...

Sounds all like Synergy Motorsport to me!!

Mate looked at a Supra, had to sign papers and put down a non-refundable deposit, etc after a test drive even though he wasn't keen on it at all after the test drive.

I'd steer away from them then. Sounds dodgy as. Reckon they've turned back the odometer?

you dont *have* to do jack. If you've driven it and dont like it, just walk away.... and if they point a firearm at you to make you sign it, the contract is void as per terms of duress

-D

Yeah I think there is something up. With KMS that low the interior should be immaculate, the wear on the steering wheel and gear knob was really bad and there were a few holes in the carpet under the drivers mat. Everything inside was more warn then mine.

The engine sounded healthy and looked clean but it could have been replaced. Cant drive it to test the gearbox which is a pain!

There was also a bit of the body kit burned/discoloured from the exhaust. My dad said it looks like a respray on it, and it only had one tyre guard which was a bit odd.

I tried to get some history but all they say is they get them from interstate and there is a privacy request....

[scandyflick]

privacy request should only cover the details of previous owner, not the service history of the car.

start shoppin elsewhere penny.

[SLED]

rofl at privacy request on a used car.........I would've laughed my brains out all the way to the door.......and that would put me off any seller like that for good.

that's it just take your money else where! i buy my car when they let me test drive and if they seem a bit worried then i'll let them hold on to my license!

[ontheranch]

I told them they could hold on to my car! still wouldnt. Even said let my dad drive cos hes old, still wouldnt.

All imported cars look clean, especially the engine, after it's been blasted and cleaned in quarantine!
