Dang, I just sold a pair of 215 45 17 RE001 Adrenalins for $300

with only a trip to banella and phillip island on them, about 1000k's

Bit too skinny for my new front rim diameter, but a bit skinner than what your after, would fit perfect on an 8 inch tho.

Just gotta keep your eye out :D

for a decent tyre in that size for that money, your best bet will be Korean. Hankook or Kuhmo. You might be able to wrangle some Toyo or Falken but I doubt it. Oh also you will get into some Federals for that money but they will wear out FAST!!

From what i was told zeetex are also korean and are made from the same material as tyres like the hankooks, i know they work well for me.

heard people say cheap tyres in dandy but where is this place exactly - -"?

I know there is a second hand joint next to the car yard which is next to the tyre factory.

What were they, 195/60/15 or something?

235/45/17 RE001's are closer to $220-$250 fitted EACH.

They have never been sub $200 for 17's

Ring any Bridgestone dealer and they'll tell you the same :P

195/50/15. Not too sure what prices the 17s were, but comparing this place's prices to others, they were the cheapest. Pretty good service too. Instead of making me go to his Box Hill shop (because the 195/50s ran out at Preston store) he got a guy to drive them down.

Where is this place ?

Abbotts Rd, Dandenong South. Near England Street.

just picked up

2x bridgestone adrenalin re001 at $195 each

2x 2nd hand tires with 70% tread for $50 each

im wrapped.

im glad i spent the extra for these tires. cannot describe to you the difference in the car compared to the old worn tires.

how wide are the rims? if they are say 8" front and 9" rears you can put 235 45 17 front and rear or put 215 up front. did you want $1XX for all 4 tyres? or for a whole set?

these are $100 a tyre in brooklyn just near footscray and strip old tyre, fit and then balance for $10 a tyre. these tyres are chinese crap though but will do ya.

this guy on nissan silvia is selling nexens for your fronts if they are 8" wide for $60. still good tread could do ya for the time being.

then buy these for the rears

i know what its like man cause i'm a student too lolz. sometimes you get lucky through the forums with people selling tyres for cheap and thats when you should pounce. try and keep the tyres the same profile to keep the cops happy just in case.

    • I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?

    • Yuh, but that one is NLA. There might be an equivalent, but I haven't looked.
    • If you hadn't bought a stand alone one already, nismo make a bolt on adjustable FPR https://www.efisolutions.com.au/nismo-fuel-pressure-regulator-sr-rb-s13-180sx-r32
    • I know and understand they are principally the same. They both cause lock under decel, but the 1.5 nomenclature implies "half" or less locking force, or it allows for more slip or a speed differential between both wheels. Right now the driving manners with the 2 way is pretty rough on transient to full off throttle in the backroads. In other words letting off the throttle too rough is not forgiving, great for drifting, tougher for controlled grip driving.      Yeah, I have watched that video a couple times, I am more so just looking for the confirmation that both part numbers offer the same ramp architecture and are just different settings from the factory.     38420-RSS15-B5  38420-RSS20-B5
