Sure, they gave it back in 20 minutes, but did you notice that it was a na lancer coupe they gave you back? Your car is in melbourne now, and white.

I've got 235/45 17, and 255/40 17. They show little wear even after track days at Eastern Creek. Very good in the wet as well.

$1044 fitted and balanced.

Wow, where the hell did you get them that cheaply from!? I was considering getting the Falken ST115's which are around that price, but if I can get the FM901's for that I would seriously consider it. My only issue would be that aren't the FM901's discontinued? That would mean that when I had to change my rears, I wouldn't be able to get the same tread pattern as the front. Not a big issue I know, but I like my tyres to match :)

Out of interest does anyone know how the FM901's compare with the ST115's? With regards to grip, tread wear, wet weather handling, etc. I assume the ST115's are quieter, which is one of their big selling points.

I've had a number of different tyres on my car in teh 2 1/2 years I've had my car...  IMO, best bang for your buck tyres are the Falken Azenis ST115's... They're slightly more grippy than the FM901's, and slightly cheaper... On the downside, they don't last _quite_ as long... But still have a reasonably good life... I got almost a year out of the ones on the back of my car :)

Holy crap, my question answered even before I asked it :)

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
