Anothe point, related to other posts, is that Tirerack shipping is to whatever nominated address you want. Not depot.

Delivered to the address you give them, they are left at my door when I order them.

hey guys for your info been doing some research and found priceusa to be a good company to use i will be giving them a go when i need new tread, plus they are an australian company

Pretty dear though, I have previously used them to import R1Rs

Tiretrack ship free to the US, so free postage to that mob, Then its about a few hundred to get them over here - I think tiretrack quoted me $250 for postage.

would stll be worth while is there was a saving of $500+ if not local looks the way to go now

Nah, the point is that PriceUSA don't get anywhere near as cheap shipping as Tirerack do. Tirerack have got really good freight deals with their various shippers. Almost no-one else gets as good a deal as they do.

Yes very true

But if you are buying tyres that "Australian companies" won't bother bringing in then you are winning and semi slick prices are a massive saving still

Seems Tirerack have changed their export policy yet again, but this time for the better :) All brands are able to be exported to Australia they are just limiting the quantity to 4 tyres per order.

I emailed them just before Christmas and that was the reply I was given.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
