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

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.

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.

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
