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

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
