I thought they were pretty good.  I used my last set for 35 laps around Q.R. and they did pretty well.  Looked a little worse for wear afterwards though as to be expected under those conditions.  Great in the wet, and I beat Paul by 2 sec at the last time trial (forget witches hat).  Can't be too bad.

Don't how much they would be in your size Eugene.

i do agree but paul and i both had them on when we hit morgan park short track

and after 5 or more hard laps they started gettin greasy on me, and he complained of the same problem

I did encounter a bit of understeer after a couple of laps, the tyre isn't particularly suited to track work, I think the blocks are too big on the outside of the tyre. Having said that, you should never encounter that type of heat/punishment on the road unless you are a complete phsyco. I think they are a great tyre for road conditions, spirited drives through the mountains and the like. I will be getting them again.

mine would be cheap.. i really want to sell the whole rims and tyres as the lot.. i got em posted up on a couple of other forums. They're gts-x rims, but will fit an R33 n/a. But really if you just want tyres, go buy some tyres ;) 16" good tyres should be cheap.

i got them for the 31, but with the buggered diff its not doing anything like a burnout anytime soon. Prolly too underpowerd anyhow :D

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
