Hey,

I'm an idiot :P . I thought 215/45/17 would fit on the front on my MR2 and they do as long as I don't go around any corners. They've only driven around 60km (of the slowest driving you've seen) and weren't damaged at all. They are very sticky tyres (have them on the rears) and should get reasonable tire life.

They are:

2 x Kumho Escta XS (KU36)

The RRP is $250 each and I picked them up for $220 each. I'd be happy to get $300 for both.

They are in Leichhardt NSW and they are pickup only. I can be contacted on 0401168246 or during business hours at [email protected]

i think it was on one of the traders on nissansilvia.com

Well what can I say. I can't see any adds for them there. Kuhmo make more than one semi-slick so I 'd have to assume that they weren't KU36s.

The only other KU36's I've seen advertised was on Ebay and they were 2 x 235/45/17 and were going for $480 a pair

They are street legal BTW.

A workshop in Brisbane sells them for $139 but that was 235/45/17......

Well 215/45/17 are a more expensive tire but I'm still not sure how they can do that price. Are you 100% that they are KU36s?

Right then. They are importing their own tyres and selling them for a good prices. I'll definitely check them out when I need new one. However, I've spoken to them and the tires are now $180 each (shipped to sydney) and they are almost out os stock. The price are unkown for the next batch they import which probably means they will go up.

So I have 'as new' tires that cost $360 new. I'll drop the price to $250

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
