give traction tyres a call....they are quite good at what they do. point out how much you love your rims. dont go to sandown tyres in springy...they managed to carve my old rims up nicely.

+1 for traction tyres!

They have done all my suspension, tyre installations/fitting.

Just tell them to be extra careful with the rims :D

sorry to hijack thread but im looking for a set of std gtst wheels to borrow for week or so - with rubber

im getting my wheels powerdercoated etc so need some loaner wheels, happy to pay cash or beer etc to loan wheels

hey just took my wheels today to get tyres fitted wow blown away took them to trackside tyres gave a brand new set of ce28s 18/10.5 and didn't even make them i recommend these guys to everyone valve an quality

well I got 4 tyres today after work from somewhere in Kingsbury, took almost 1.5hrs and about 30mins later when I was looking at the wheels (inspecting for nicks), I realised one of them was hissing!! 10mins down the road and it was down to 15psi!!! Not fudging happy!! Now my whole plan for tomorrow is stuffed thanks to them. Had to limp it home caus there was no jack in the boot at the time. Probably stuffed the sidewall (opinions? should they replace it or just refit the tyre properly?)... GAWD.

I swear I can't get anything done at a tyre place, they always fck it up somehow no matter where I go, GRRR.

Centreline have GOT to get a friggin tyre fitting machine already :(

So yeah I can probably tell you where NOT to go.. x 4 places now.

hi guys, usually what is the going price for tyre to rim fitment and fitting and balancing to your ride (your own tyres and rims supplied by yourself offcourse)

usually 5-10$ per wheel..

but its how much damage the apprentice causes with the tyre lever that I can't give you a price on.. can be pretty expensive though!

Thanks for the words everyone, very helpful and made me very cautious now.

Ended up getting it done at Avon Tyre Service in Canterbury Rd, surrey Hills, done an awsome job in and out in no time at all,very happy.

Thanks again for all the advice and help.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
