last week i ordered 16" ROH adrenalin in chrome, with 225/50 tyres.

That price was pretty good, $1650.

I was sposed to get them this week, but the guy rang me and said ROH lost them, or something along the way, theyd be another 2 weeks.

He said hes not happy wit them, and hell try to get me a much better price per wheel or something.

Then i get another phone call, and he has managed to get me 17" blades, shadow chrome, with 235 tyres for $1700 instead, fitted tomorrow afternoon.

The guy has done a good deal for me, so im gonna give him a plug.

Avanti tyres in rockingham, sort of know the owner through dads work, so maybe thats why he tried hard, but if youre after wheels, give them a ring and see what they can do. Im very happy with hows hes handled this.

Well while were on the topic of 'stroke of luck' i just had to push start all 1.6 odd tons of supra :D ahhh... what a stroke of luck:lol:

U never realise how heavy ure car is until u leave ure lights on and have to push it up a hill:uh-huh:

And poor quality and quick wear dont go hand in hand. My tyre are pretty cheap and they wear fast but grip real hard in the dry. But not so good in the wet.

I disagree.. I have 225/50/16's (Sava Rapidex) weren't the most expensive tyre... but for $119/piece instead of $180 i usually pay.... and lasting 60,000kms!!!

And I drive like a tool most of the time, so other tyres (read: $180 worth) havent even lasted mt 30,000kms yet.. and they're nearly bald!

:eek:

Have you had simex tyres before?

I have had them on one of my previous cars, and i thought they performed better than the G-grid's on my last car.

These tyres, that i picked up today, are nice and sticky, and the last ones didnt wear quick at all.

They might not be the top of the range, but they are at least middle if not better.

Overall I was happy with how they handled the situation.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
