rang tempe tyres today. the person i spoke to seemed extremely lost in the head. at the end of it, he basically said "oh...we dont stock toyo tyres". wasnt helpful at all.

ozzytyres were abit better. they seemed to be alot more switched on than tempetyres. he didnt stock toyo's but could "get them in". but couldn't give me a quote.

australia's best are very cluey, could give me a quote on the spot for toyo's, only problem is they didnt have the tyre i wanted :D

i've found my tyre + wheel specialist now. and he has basically everything, if not can get them, and they are at unbeatable prices.

im getting a set of Toyo Trampio's R1-R rspec tyres. $1350 for 235/40/17 (front) and 255/40/17 (rears) and this price includes fitting, wheel balance and alignment + its going on fleet...so its not a cash deal.

quite a valid question here. id like to know myself!

Toyo have a genuine RSpec tyre called the R881, the R1R is a hyrbid RSpec and Road tyre so i only assume from the product line that the R1R will last longer than an average RSpec tyre. Probably equivalent, if not better, than the Falken Azenis RS.

so, i wouldnt be surprised if it lasted for 13-18,000 km's with a few trackday's thrown in.

heres the R881

I have just done the find some rear tyres on a buget thing in Syd & my take on things is this. If you buy Aus market tyres you pay big $$, where the Jap tyres that are imported are way less $$. When pricing it's some times hard to find dealer who has what you want in stock & will try to sell you something else so know what you want & ring round for stock before price.

Tempe are bad on phone due to volume work they do so you have to go there.

Ozzy are good with info & stock Yok's.

I wanted 901's 265/35/18 which where $350 each from St George but they only had 1 so I ended up with LM 701's $300 (same compound diff tread pattern 901). I so far have twice the grip of last tyres so I'm happy.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
