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.

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Think they have been superceded by the RE-11?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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
