Hard man to please Nick :P Maybe you have to get a 7 instead?

Will try not a get a 7. Prefer 8 for the slightly better drivetrain. A 4.5 grade french blue would be a straight buy for me tho :D

My sister is an import broker for mainfreight in brisbane so i get awesome deals :yes:

"YOU" get awesome deals. Us peeps on the fringes get nothing... :unsure:

I need someone that can do me dirt cheap 235/45/17 tires, don't care about brand.

Taken from EvoOZ. Give this guy a call. Rob@Neta Tyre and Auto.

2/49 Toombul Rd Northgate Brisbane

07 32662333

He had some mad feddys for sale in May and could possibly do it again if you ask I guess.

His May prices:

235/45R17

Kumho KU36 235/45R17 $199

Federal 595 SS $102

Federal 595 EVO $149

Federal 595 RSR $179

Kinforest KF550 $72

Durun Sport 1 $99

Hankook Z222(rs3) $199

I'd go RS3s dude. Best tyre there for the money. You'll smash your time at the drags!

Yes thats true ;) Not bashing the Feddys.

Just pointing out that at those sizes and prices, the RS3s are the best value.

Premier time attack tyre those ones...so super grip plus decent wear.

Skids on those tyres would be madness tho. Throwing money down the drain.

We all need to do a little cruise down to QR for the midweek sprints! There were some STUPIDLY fast skylines there yesterday running mid 50's!

Chris, there were engine bays there that rivaled yours in cleanliness...on a track/street car :O

Man there was a guy there who looked just like you...you don't have a brother or something who goes there? It was uncanny lol

I plan on going down more often during the week man - I'll let ya know next time, sorry bud

...btw, wednesday's down there kick ass - not so packed out!

Apparently the 595 SS are hopeless in the wet. RSRs on the other hand are great!

Thats the opposite to my experience, The 595 as they are now known are reasonable, but the RSR is pretty bad, and they are also pretty bad when cold. A good all rounder is the 595EVO.

The guys running them at the sprints in the wet at LP were complaining that they were like skates. Not much fun at all.

Stupid South Africans don't get brad Pitt joke :rant:

Haha thonges and all ey, mayb I have a twin :D

It must be man....because all jokes aside, it was freaky. I thought it was you for a sec lol

Yep I run the Evo's on my 33 R and they're quite good...especially at around 33-34psi (tire pressure lol, not boost) They're definitely my best set of rubbers yet and they seem to also be lasting a lot longer than my old tires.

It was pissing down and they were attempting track laps on a street tyre, There are not a lot of tyres out that would be good in that situation! When I think bad wet weather tyre I think of something that is dangerous at normal driving speeds, like the Nexens I had once :O holy shit it was about 5 near death experiences per trip.

The 595 ss' are total crap in the wet, when I can bag them up at 110 when I hit boost and the road is just damp something is wrong. The guys running the Achilles 123s all had good times so I'm thinking about a set of those next.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
