How much are the Khumo's at Option 1?

Going from memory (it may be the other way round) in my sizes (215/45/17 and 235/45/17) it was something like:

595SS => F $110, R $120

KU31 => F $120, R $110

595RS-R => F $180, R $180 (on special)

Prices per tyre, plus fitting ($5-$15ea depending on if you want them balanced or not, and if they are on a car or loose wheels)

So in those sizes, the SSs and KU31s end up exactly the same price for a set of 4.

You want round phat black babys ? :O

Round phat black sticky babys :thumbsup:

Whilst the khumo might stick a tad better than the feddy SS just remember the SS will run rings around it in terms of mileage.

As an allrounder I still rate the feddy.

I'm not finding that. My last khumos lasted about a year. The SSs look like shagging out in about the same ballpark.

The SSs might have more meat left in the center when I'm done with them, but that doesn't help me if the edges are on belts :P

You're doin it wrong. :whistling:

There's nothing more I can do to reduce the camber wear on the rear. Its the nature of the datto-spec IRS. I have already spent a small fortune getting the base camber reduced as much as I can, but its still a tad over 2 degress, and it's still going to camber the f*ck up when it squats.

I could change the alignment on the fronts to make the tyres last better, but why bother when the rears wear out faster anyway? I like to keep the camber high enough to balance the rears, and I like a little toe out.

Ahem...cough cough.... GET A 33.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This could explain the stormtrooper walking down st pauls terrace with a suitcase this afternoon.

You guys should drive thongslappin' fords and holdens, you only need a good tyre on one side at the rear to get traction in the wet!

Epic night!

Ben (Homo) should get on here more often, then he would have something to do while waiting for his girlfriend to get really smashed at a work function

tears.

Very much so :(

The choice of who to but it from came down to two stores

Store A was slightly more expensive, but their website seemed more professional and they responded to emails quicker. They also guaranteed my phone would be shipped as part of their first batch of stock.

Store B was a bit cheaper, and they weren't sure how much stock they were getting in the first batch so couldn't guarantee they would have enough.

I went with Store A... Store B ended up with a truckload of stock, and worked through the public holiday and got almost all theirs shipped on tuesday. It seems most people who ordered from there's phones are in china already.

Store A has been dicking around, posting blog updates and emails on how hard their life is and how many orders they have to get through, and they hope to have them all shipped by the end of the week!

Backed the wrong horse... :(

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
