Hello,

Just a post to let anyone interested know about the Proxes 4.

I was suggested to try these tyres so I bought a set, went from 225/45/18 and upgraded to 245/40/18, and have noticed a huge difference. I have noticed the feel through the steering is different. . . you can certainly feel the extra 4cm on the road.

Being new I tried a few hard and fast corners and was very impressed. . very impressed. . even better that my previous number 1 preferred tyre the Dunlop W10.

They are a good price for those that need a 97+ load indexed tyre, $270 each

I went the Kuhmo Ecsta KU31's, kind of a middle of the road tyre as i had planned to get 18's latter so didnt see the put in putting pricey tyres on the stock rims.

For the price $180 each (235/45/17) they grip really well, i have pushed the car hard a few times and they feel very good, intial bite isnt that flash but once your in there nice.

Got those on the rears at the moment, seem alright, definitely not as grippy as the Toyo Teo's I had before. But for the price, pretty good. Apparently they are rebadged Kumho's according to the tyre guy

Now these look nice!

http://www.toyo.com.au/Proxes%20R1R.htm

I assume this are an upgrade to the Proxes 4??

Anyone running the R1R tyres? Any feedback to offer?

Yes the R1R are the next tyre up. . . . . I took the advice of the tyre guy and went the proxes 4, he said unless you are going to be driving hard a lot of the time the Proxes4 are actually better. Also the R1R will wear a lot quicker too...

Ahhhh but they look hell cool lol.. Thanks for the input though, if they are fast wearing and you drive hard it's probably not a good investment! lol

Toyo R1Rs are simply awesome!!, but quality costs a fair bit more :D

245/40/18=$360ea approx.

Well worth it though; when you have 320+rwkw driving through the rear wheels only :P

:(

Proxes 4 doesn't comes close, but traction is not a real big issue for 4wd :)

Stephen and Julius (and everyone else, for that matter), if you become SAU-NSW club members, you can have access to cheap Federal tyres. I've got the 595-SSs on my car and they are FANTASTIC!!!

The tyres are delivered to your door, so you can get whoever you want to fit them. I had mine fitted by Spin City Wheels in North Parramatta.

      What are you thinking makes a sequential shit to drive on the street? About the ONLY thing I can think of, is if you're wanting to be able to roll up to lights in third or second and pop it straight into neutral, or you want to come down two or three gears, say out of 5th and back to second, but they shift quick enough it doesn't really matter

      I'm not a drag racing guy, but that was a good watch. Didn't Ibrahim's car have some cooch! But the big question is....WTF is with so many of them running without seatbelts!

      Well that is not a sign of good quality..  Understand, but not so nice to drive on the street I suppose and out of my price range..

      Looking for a mechanic for my build

      By rb finatic · Posted

      I recently got myself a 1989 r32 GT-R and it has some slight smokiness from the exhaust and misfires sometimes when coming off the throttle. I'm looking for a good mechanic in the Brisbane region who will do a good job on it. It'll need a diagnosis, and most likely an engine rebuild with refurb/stock parts (not looking for a motorsport build... yet). If anyone has done something like this before/knows stuff about this in terms of who can do it and how much it cost, I'd like to hear about it. I was looking on the forum and I found some posts from 2020 that were similar to this, but it has been a while since then so if anyone has any updated info that would be great.  I'm also new to the forum so if this topic should be in a different place please let me know. Thanks in advance!
