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.

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.

    • Hi everyone, I'm about to complete my first single turbo conversion on my R32 GTR and I thought I would post the step by steps that I will be following. I will list the parts I have / the parts I will be buying. I will be redoing this guide after I have completed the conversion. Parts list: - 3576 turbo 0.82 v-band (coolant and oil)  - v-band top mount turbo manifold - 50mm wastegate - manifold copper gasket - titanium manifold stud kit - turbosmart 3 port boost solenoid - link can lambda kit (wideband) - link ECU - radium 12AN push in valve cover fittings (pair) - hi octane catch can - 3.5inch downpipe - screamer pipe - pipe from turbo to intercooler - intake pipe setup - power steering relocation kit - oil drain block off plate - coolant and oil lines Now onto the step by step guide (please add / correct me if there's anything I missed: 1. remove fluids, twin turbo pipes, pod filters and afm's 2. remove the factory coolant hardlines from the hot side. 3. remove heat shields  4. remove the downpipe 5. remove turbos and manifolds 6. remove factory manifold studs 7. clean whatever mess you have made 8. install power steering relocation kit 9. install new manifold studs 10. install new turbo manifold with gasket 11. install new wastegate with screamer pipe 12. install new turbo  13. install new coolant and oil lines  14. install rear oil drain block off plate 15. stop and appreciate that you now have a single turbo in your GTR 16. wipe away tears of joy and install downpipe 17. install the wideband sensor into downpipe 18.install pipe to connect turbo to intercooler 19 .remove stock boost solenoid  20. install new boost solenoid 21.  install intake setup 22. setup the rest of the can lambda kit with the ecu  23. refill fluids and hope for the best 24. ask forums for help with issues 25. fix issues 26. drive your single turbo swapped r32 GTR into the sunset.

    • I have wasted too much time on this, more than I am willing to admit. I hope someone can set the record straight for me.  I want to replace my Nismo (non GT pro, non GT) standard 2 way in my R33 GTST with a 1.5 way... Ideally I want to get an ATS 1.5 way Carbon LSD, but I don't want to reuse my 29 spline 5x1 axle stubs, and new 30 spline 5x1's are impossible to get a hold of ($$$), and I don't want to drop the cash on going to 6x1 stubs and axles ATM. Which leads me to the Nismo GT Pro 38420-RSS15-B5 or RSS20, as they come with new axle stubs meant for the diff, and is "Convertible" from a 2 way or 1.5 way to "Other ways", but that is where I am stuck as the documentation is a bit all over the place.  To sum up what I have found I believe the all the Nismo GT Pro PN's are convertible from 2 way, 1.5 way, and 1 way; but Nismo sells 2 skus (2 & 1.5) so people do not have to disassemble to convert it.  I found this thread on 350z but it left the question unanswered. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/620032-nismo-gt-pro-lsd-1-5-vs-2-way-and-torque.html  Essentially the way I think it all works out is like follows...  2 way  1 way  and 1.5 way would be the center pinion shaft in the 1 way block, but with the with the center flipped 180*. So the ramped side of the pinion would face the 1 way gate and act like a ramp.    I can only get my hands on the 2 way in the states, and I am not trying to get stuffed on tariffs by ordering from Japan or anywhere else. I want to confirm that if I get the 2 way I can convert it to the 1.5.     
    • Hi everyone, I have purchased my first GTR and I want to do a single turbo conversion to it. I've been doing as much research as i can and there are a few things that I can find and need to know. I need to run a coolant feed, coolant return, oil feed and oil return for my turbo setup. Here's what I know so far: On the hot side of the rb26 there is coolant feed, oil feed and oil return. Coolant return will be going around the front of the engine to where the thermostat is located. I will need to block off the rear oil return port. I will be running a turbosmart boost solenoid so any of the factory boost stuff wont be needed. Now onto what I don't know: 1. What do I do with the coolant / vacuum hardlines that run around the back of the motor?. 2. What do I block off or loop or move or remove?. I will be running the OEM intake manifold. 3. Is there anything in particular I need to buy for the cold side of the rb26?. I already have the intercooler and pipes sorted. If you have any pictures or information it would be appreciated. Thanks....  
    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
