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.

    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must me missing something? 
    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
