currently have some

255 40 R17 94Y

Yokahama Advan Neova's AD07

2 with camber wear and 2 which have pretty much no tread..

id love to get the same tyres..

problem is im having an absolute bitch of a time finding somewhere with prices / where i can buy them

does anyone know where i can find..

*sorry i wheel newb :)*

traction tyres is yokohama distributor. else try one of the sau sponsors.

still waiting on custom wheel outers to be machined up and the centres powdercoated.

in the meantime i got our painter to track down either Nissan Midnight Purple II or BMW Interlagos Blue samples for paint. Then it's a matter of rolling/pumping the guards out for extra width which should cover the 11" wide wheels in the back :)

Still divided on paint. MPII would be sweet, but the base colour of the car is blue... which may or may not work too well with a blue-purple-black flippy colour.

go the MPII, it looks awesome in the sunlight and just as good if not better in artificial light. when i just went outside before it was a really nice dark looking purple and then when i walked closer to it it changed to a blue/green colour, it looked awesome :P

yeah but MP2 is a nissan colour. this is a golf... at least Interlagos Blue has some euro history behind it.

Although then the cream leather interior and MP2 should look sweet together. If I go the Interlagos Blue I'll have to change the interior to tan instead of cream. Wheels will have to be a different colour instead of blue barrels and black spokes too if I go MP2. Maybe bronze barrels and black spokes?

Also, there's no green in MP2. MP3 has some fucked up hectic bro chameleon goin on, but MP2 is just straight blue -> purple -> black transition. Black basecoat, purple midcoat, blue pearl in clear.

ok, i must be a bit colour blind then lol because in some angles and light it looks like it has a green tinge in the blue.

have you got a pic of the interlagos blue?

just a quick question if i got some new z tune side skirts and rear pods would it be hard to spray and match up this colour properly?

shan roughly how much is it costing for ur wheels to get done man?

base was $1500 for centres and inner barrels and $1000 for outer barrels. Plus new bolts, labour, powdercoating etc.

full homo cos it's 5x100 fitment that nothing else seems to use other than shitty old toyota celicas, and even then they're like +40 offset which is useless on an euro.

wow, that blue is very nice.

yeah it's a blue base with purple pearl and then a clear with some light blue pearl in it... or someshit like that.

same car, two angles.

Subies are 5x100 too.

also with +40 fitment.

as are Prius' which also run 5x100.

The Works I got are for a Subie, but then with custom outers machined up to my specs so that the offset goes from 18x7 +29 to 18x10.5 -15 :)

mp3 is the f**king shit!

jamie, that 180sx you posted, always see it around my way.

and

today after school, walking across the oval to cross mahoneys road to find a juniors ran across the road and got cleaned up by a van at 60km...

    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
