who used http://www.tirerack.com/ ? how much was shipping? what did you buy ect ect.

with the US as weak as a 2 year old, perfect time to buy stuff from America. Unlike australia their tyre prices are actually reasonable :D

so yeh, i wish to get a set of tyres from tirerack just wondering if its worth all the trouble.

I checked for myself for my next purchase (on another forum)..should share that people have recently been paying around $300 USD for 4 tires shipped to Aus with delivery times of around 4 business days after payment clears.

how do i pay in US dollars?

will i have to buy them from some random site or can comm bank transfer it over for me?

tire-rack, told me they only accept wire transfer from AUS.

Just go into your bank and ask to do a wire transfer (tire-rack will give you all the details), it cost me something like $30 to do a wire-transfer at my bank

Hey john i cant seem to find Potenza RE001's on their list are they called somethign else over in the U.S? :S. Have KU36's on atm and imo they suck

Think they have been superceded by the RE-11?

i was told i need to pay in USD though.

Pretty sure the bank can do the conversion for you.

E.g. you tell them you want to transfer $1000USD , they charge you this + extra for the difference.

Re001 are not sold in the US.

however just go the RE11 as they are better and are the new top model for potenza

i was told i need to pay in USD though.

Just tell your bank you need it to be in US dollar and they sort it out

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
