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...

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
