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.

Yoko AD08s impressed me after a weekend on the skidpan

VERY good in the wet, car slid - thats gonna happen with 370rwkw, but it was predictable and didn't break traction as soon as i expected :D

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. :)

Be even bigger fans if they stocked Bridgestone Re55's. :yes:

agreed!! :) please add RE55 to stock list. or dunlop direzza 03G. both very popular circuit tyres here in aus. they will definitely sell.

    • If you get a 33 pump, bracket and harmonic balancer that will bolt straight up 
    • Hey y'all, So i went to replace my outer tie rod end and it looks like my inner is cooked as well. Problem is, the inner tie rod's part no seems to be completely unique, it's not the same as in the other Skylines.  It's 48521-23U25. This is NOT the same as the GTTs or GTRs. If you look online, only place I can get them is Amayama (https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/48521aa325), but given that the "quantity available" is listed as ">1," it worries me that lead time on this will be infinite. Wondering if any other ENR34 owners have found replacement inner tie rods that work and are readily available? Are tie rods not that deep and easy to interchange? I'm in the USA, so if anyone else has found em, LMK! Also - it looks like this part for the Leaf is the same number, except there's a 0 added right after the U. Does this mean anything of value or are they completely different parts? 48521-3U025 - Inner Tie Rod 2007-2014 Nissan | Nissan Parts & Accessories Online  
    • There is no difference. The existing turbo and intercooler would very most likely not be suitable for reuse. The existing tune would be meaningless. The issues with fitting things in are exactly the same.
    • Here’s a follow up question, what if you add a super charger to an already turned engine like a rb25det or something. Would the systems in place (inter coolers and exhaust manifold) be a good way to lessen time and head ache? Or would it be more annoying to add a supercharger to the turbo-ed system then designing a new system entirely?
    • Curious if you've discussed this with them, maybe they can remove it for you since you requested it not to be coated.
