haha.. sounds like a great tyre to put on the r31 :D the retreads are starting to go.. although for retreads they have copped a fair bit of abuse.

man victoria is so depressing.. its going to be good to be back in QLD I tell you!

hmmmmm yeah nagkangs, I have heard they are good for no grip, sorry I would've paid the $30 each more for the falkens, grip is awesome out of them, but then again, they could've been out of your budjet, but yeah I have hear they are the crazy clarks of tyres :D

I used to have Nankangs on my car, they must have been the cheapest tyres they could find that would pass compliance. They were terrible, absolutely no grip, dangerous in the wet (braking down a hill was nearly impossible without locking the fronts!) and very unpredictable. Without any warning they'd just let go, I had some sphincter-puckering moments catching sudden, violent back end slides with the Nankangs on. I put a decent set of tyres on and the difference was like night and day. The car no longer felt like it was trying to kill me :D

well ze326 i guess don't feel unsafe, but they don't really grip too well.. but considering how you like to spin the tyres they'll be ok for that :D I got about 15,000km and about 12 months out of the rears on my r33. Thats not good value, no matter how little they cost.

well i was thinking about the r31 and how much.. I would have to ask around $2k.. which is more than i paid.. but i can't give it away, even if I do know the person :D I've seen a few r31 around, and some that sell for even $3k aren't too much worse off than mine. its got aircon (just needs more gas), sports steering wheel, mp3 face unit, couple of decent kenwood speakers, hardly any rust, loud exhaust, everything works, and it still drives fine. A p-plater would love it.

I'm in no rush.. r32 needs to be on the road b4 i even think about it.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
