Sooooo. Turns out the customs delay was caused by Tirerack not sending the right paperwork. Once this came through and after a fee for duty and an $89 quarantine inspection fee I had my new tyres in my hot little hands!

Overall, still shitloads cheaper than buying here and the tyre guys that fitted my new semis to my TE37s looked suitably in awe when we turned up there today.

This is a very welcome sight in my lounge and will be even more welcome on the GTR when she comes home soon:

Over all, experience with Tirerack was awesome!

yeah same thing I had, tirerack didn't include the Quarantine Paperwork, next time I'll get them to email it to me and follow up from this end just to be sure customs gets it.

+2 for what tyres are they and let us know how they perform ? thats some serious contact on the outside block.

just put Michelin Pilot PS2 on my GTR, excellent grip dry and wet, little bit noisier than the Dunlop P600 that came off but I would expect the Michelins to last longer.

for anyone looking at a good tyre, I went for a spin in a mates new M3 and could not believe the grip, under braking, cornering and accelerating , in didn't step out or even give a hint of a squeal, and we were putting them to the test---------Pirelli PZero's, I'm very happy with the Michelins, but after that drive I'll be trying the Pirelli's next.

We're glad our service worked well for you but regret our paperwork mistake caused a delay and extra work for you.

We will review our procedures to avoid this error in the future.

Welcome on the forum. I must add I've got nothing but excellent service from Tire Rack and the price is great (even during the "normal" exchange rates). But yea, its a bit unfortunate Kat got hit by that quarantine. Mine went through without any hassle.

if you like the AD08s try some dunlop Z1 star spec's next time. cheaper and better. I have AD08s on my grey 32 with the 2.7/motec etc and AD07s on the other 32 and the Z1s on the evo and having now driven on all of them extensively I reckon the Z1 are a touch better for a weekend car/occasional track car. very cheap from our friends at tirerack too. :)

      Big Brake Kit for ECR33

      By Blakeo · Posted

      Hi guys, I've just bit the bullet on a forged rebuild for my 25det looking at making 600rwhp with the built engine. Having always been a butthurt for big brakes, I'd like to upgrade the fronts. I have looked at a few different websites, not have really stood out to me. What are some good quality front brakes, are the Attkd ones any good?    Thanks.

      Went out for drive with Jackie for a while in the Mazda and whilst it was raining cats and dogs, the interior and boot are still nice and dry so the top and drains are working well to keep the elements out, winning

      Max horse power stock internals?

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong.

      https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/en-us/products/nissan-rb26-cast-blocks This is the solution I was thinking of. I would stay away from Tomei USA, their quality is a question mark to me. If you want an engine machined in the US contact Club DSPORT: https://clubdsport.com/ Tomei JP is probably fine but I recall they stopped doing pre-assembled short or long blocks. In general it's pretty tough to get any kind of RB26 block at the moment with Nissan so severely backordered.
