Yeah, my brother bought a set of tyres from them a few months back. I can't really comment on how the tyres were, but when we bought new tyres from bob jane, they said that the tyres we purchased from that shop was really dodgey.

I don't know, they're probably just trying to bag out other businesses.

Do they have any 17" tires?

I couldn't find anything on the site.

Yeah they do.

Click on stock holdings, and look at the column on the right hand side of the page.

Did your brother have any problems himself? Did BJ decribe the problem or just do the old 'these are crap' line.

Either way i'm going to get some 17"s shortly, I'll report back on what they are like.

Yeah, they should have some 17" tyres. I just have a feeling they're shit quality though. :)

My brother didn't have any problems with the tyres as far as I know, I think bobjane were just trying to bag out other businesses. I can't really say, I don't know shit about tyres. :(

Would 205/55R16 fit the standard Gtr rims

the tyre says 225/55R16 on the gtr tyre

I have been told about these guys by a couple of different people. Seem to be the goods.

They will rim them up for you aswell. (not sure about rims being on car though)

Tyres will be fine for compliance and RWC.. only issues i have run into before is getting them fitted with anything less that about 80% tread and if they have had puncture repair.

As far as width goes for compliance i would probably stick to whats listed on the tyre plate/sticker thingy. :devil:

they seem a little narrow to me. How wide is the stock rim?

The standard 32 GTR rims are 8" wide if I remember correctly. They have 225 tyres on them from factory. Those 205's should fit, but why do you want to run thinner tyres than standard?

i got a mate that can get me brand new tyres for $85 pretty decent one aus standards, but i wont get them if it not reccomended.

the size of those tyres are the 205/55/R16

I bought tyres from these guys a few time. Seems fine for second hand tyres.

also liza's tyres in bayswater sell second hand tyres, although be careful about what you buy from them as some of their sets have 3 good ones and 1 dodgy one like i found out :domokun:

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
