as above, im looking for workshops who swap 2nd hand tyres. chamber worn tyres. went to check kmart n others but they have policies, yada yada yada.. :thanks: so preferebly some backyard workshop who does not have any policies. and roughly how much will i be looking at? never done this before. :P any help would very much be appreciated. cheers

When i brought my car it had ok tires but they were gona give me problems.... there are a couple of places on beach rd (bob, ian etc..) that sell between 60-80% tred for about 40-60 $$$ Great bargen if you have stock rims to go to the drifts or as such...

sorry i carnt be of any more help

Roll Right has almost any size you want. I used to get lots of 17" tyres in 225/45 to 245/40 from them for like $75-$85ea. Got a pair of 2nd hand Continentals from there once (like $800 tyres new) in 245/40 and even when they got bald they had more traction than the LingLongs I had at one point.

Running new Federal 595SS's at the moment and they seem like a pretty nice street tyre, plenty of traction even in the wet..

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
