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.

    • I found a supplier for an arm in NZ. https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-rh-side?srsltid=AfmBOopMdfCFDc_8yVZZ9kq5nIngPHRTBzUU8v4SAptJaRO52Wjs0bC6 I looked closely at the photo of that one and the Z1 arm, and it's the same bloody arm. Scratches all match in the photo 😂 How hard is it to change that joint? Also they seem to be listing two options https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-balljoint-rh-side?_pos=1&_sid=229acde44&_ss=r And now I have no idea what size I'd need yay
    • Ill review it again, from memory when I first saw some of Trailer Park Boys I wasn't a huge fan. I ended up at Letter Kenny after watching Shoresy, which is a bit ass backward, ha ha
    • "lol dunno" either But like you, I can't see any reason they would need to be different LHD to RHD
    • I agree with you WRT the hard top. MX5's may be one of the better looking soft tops but I cannot think of ANY car, EVER that looks better with a soft top vs a hard top (or a designed roof). At all, ever. I also feel this way about the C5 Vette, the Z06 looks horrible compared to it's original form, it has an exaggerated version of the differences you're talking about.  
    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
