We used to get ours through Neta, but last time we wanted some he advised us that he no longer sells to public. He did however tell us that he supplied to JAXQuickfit at Yeerongpilly and so we got them supplied and fitted through them. So yeh just give Neta a call, the guy is heaps friendly and once you've formed a bit of a relationship with him he'll give you some good deals :(

Thanks, I was going to ring NETA before I wrote this topic, still haven't gotten round to it yet. Was just wondering if people had gone to a particular shop which stocked them.

I might find out the closest JAX Quickfit and see if they can do them

Good prices on tyres yes, tho I wouldnt jump over the moon about them on other matters. There a drift workshop, and come with all the inherent flaws of a drift workshop. But all workshops have good and bad stories, this isnt the place or the time to get into them.

I'm booked into a one of the quickfix's around here. With the price being $198 a tyre (when I was expecting to have to pay at least $250 a tyre), it just came down to the fact that Mercury is further away to drive.

Would Mercury have ended up cheaper for me overall? Probably, but for that price I really couldn't be bothered :devil:

Argh :S. Whoever previously put these wheels on managed to cross thread two of the nuts on one of the wheels. So now I have to find two wheel studs and nuts to replace the ones that had to be cracked off to get the wheel off. Hopefully I can just go down to somewhere like Repco and pick them up. Anyone got an idea of part number/size?

i am also needing to update my 595 federals.............they are inexpensive....

but have seen a heap of very mixed reviews on them from average to total crap.

there are some test results v's dunlop sp9000,falken fk451,.......results;::::::::::::http://www.federaltyres.com.au/compare

apparently the nexens are ok as well?

Yeah i got a set of wheel studs from repco

was about 3 years ago cost about $4 each

I lied, they're still $4. Part number NS457 for anybody who's interested (since they don't have R34's in the catalog)

The federals replaced a set of Nexen N3000. As for rating, well, they lasted a long while, I suppose that's worth something... From what I could tell, the federals are considered a decent tyre for the price.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
