Erm but you're only swapping the back to the front and the front back. After that bring that to a shop to do alignment. Isnt that all you gotta pay for? Just the alignment. I'm planning to swap them when I get the coilovers.

:) When you gettin the coils ?

COILOVERS!

im gonna be putting in my coilovers on the car, to test them out, if too harsh can always remove them and go back to standard suspension, so hopefully next week when i c u guys car will have the coilovers on and lowered :)

my tyre guy was saying that khumo has excess stock and were dumping old tyres cheap here and in the US...maybe they were slippery because they were about 4 years old!

@ Brandon

u saw this car right?

Its Abu DHABI man not Abu Dubai loool, Dubai is a different city, the guy bought just a few months ago around the time i bought my car, its looks relly nice and clean.

Yes thats it. I know I was pronounce Dhabi when I saw it. But when I was typing I couldnt spell that word so I thought f**k it, just typed Dubai... Abu Dubai doesnt quite make sense does it? Hahaha

Andy: I suppose. When I read the reviews on mine, they're suppose to be good for 45000-50000km. I'm already running close to 10000km and they still look new to me. Yea, RSR and KU36 are slicks wannabes, Hahahaha! The whole street legal slicks is just a market thing. Slicks = RE55 and Toyo888.

Yea. But I'll like to know how long those KU31s and KU36 last. My colleague that drives an FD reckon the KU36 he's got are only good for around 20000km-25000km. I wonder if he bother doing any wheel swapping...

You'd be lucky to get that out out of 31s, no hope out of 36s.

Thats standard for the KU36 man cause they a semi slick they are really soft compound and dont last long :)

No they are not :ninja:

But they are soft, so they won't last long

getting 20000kms out of a tyre is pretty good, considering the grip that those kuhmos are meant to give

I got about that out of a sets of RSRs and was happy about it!

Im really happy if i get 20,000 out of a set of tyres

KU36 are not a real semi are they...they are just performance rubber in a semis slick tread pattern i dont think they are proper r compund...much like the first federal RSs were

Correct. Give the man a prize

i used to have 255 kuhmos on my 32 - slippery as f**k

or maybe just epic POWA

Must have been shit cheap kuhmos, my KU31s are grippy as.

The tyres i saw on your 32 weren't khumos, they were some sh*tty chinese brand

im gonna be putting in my coilovers on the car, to test them out, if too harsh can always remove them and go back to standard suspension, so hopefully next week when i c u guys car will have the coilovers on and lowered :)

good idea bro - i dont think they'll be too rough on you mate

When I do my next service which I'm planning to have the major done. Thats in another 5000km. Considering how much I will be travelling in the next couple of months, I think it'll probably be another 6months at least... HAHAHA!

Yes thats it. I know I was pronounce Dhabi when I saw it. But when I was typing I couldnt spell that word so I thought f**k it, just typed Dubai... Abu Dubai doesnt quite make sense does it? Hahaha

and dunlop dizzerwhateverthef**kitis they are awesome

the RSR now uses pretty good rubber though somthing like a RE55 is still about a second quicker at wakefield!

then drop its like its hot

say good bye to handling *DOUBLESLAP*

@ Brandon : Abu Dubai would mean Father of Dubai so yeh makes no sense lol

@tristan: bro you changing your rims right? i dont know sumthn doesnt look right the way the tyre is sitting in that pic,

and i will try and get the GTR 120mm off the ground front and rear if it looks nice then keep it there otherwise time to hit the legal limit at 100mm LOL,

no actually thats not a good idea my resonator will scrape everywhere.

say good bye to handling *DOUBLESLAP*

i couldnt get out of my driveway - and for those who have been to my place - you wouldnt regard it a steep driveway by any means..

i got stuck on the little rail ontop of the cement which the electric gate runs on

baller :)

I'll definitely be trying 31 or 36 for my next set if they're still in production and nothing better's out there for that money. If with tyre rotation they still clock 20000km, I might be better of getting some bridgestones for double the mileage. Anyway if these set gonna last me 40000km like those reviews I've read, I dont think I'll need to change my tyre for the next 2-3years...

Andy: I wouldnt even bother spelling that word. Is that even english?!

yeeh man, those are 15s lol - new rims are on their way SUPRISE

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
