you'd probably have to go 2nd hand for 17" rims and tyres for only $1500

also try www.nissansilvia.com (silvias got hte same stud pattern as the n/a skylines).. or www.woosecruising.com (boost crusing) - they have plenty of ricers who spend stupid amounts of $ on things such as fancy rims.

have to agree with Gordo on the Falken ZE326 - just had a set put on, they weren't cheap and after last nights run, I reckon the old Nankangs handled better. I think it's mainly due to more flex in the sidewal, coz just by feel I think the Falkens are better under brakes, which makes me think they have more grip, but the roll in the sidewall does not inspire confidence at all and really seems to negatively effect initial turn-in, which in turn means you have to alter the line you were originally taking through the corner.

It could be the fact that I haven't fully scrubbed them in yet, they have done about 400 k's though, but impression so far is that they are shit

I may get shot for saying this, but both Smooth and I are running Simex at the moment and they are one of the best tyres I have used if you are looking for long life. I have had these for almost 30,000 Km and they still have half tread on them.... and you have all seen how I drive, so I think that is great mileage.

They are quite sticky once warmed up, they aren't that crash hot in the wet though.

Not the best for really hard cornering either, as I feel they have a bit too much give in the sidewall.

maybe Smooth can tell us his thoughts

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
