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 ?

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!

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

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
