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.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
