Hey guys,

Recently am in need of some new tires, pretty standard size, 235/40/R17. I got a quote from a dealer in Blackwood, for some Toyo Proxes 4's, as I am wanting to give these a go having just come off of a set of Dunlop LM703's. Has anyone driven the Proxes 4's? What did you think of them? Also, where is the best place to get these in Adelaide. I got quoted $230 each.

Cheers guys!

No actually, I didn't. I believe they were on special or something, and thought it was not too bad. I haven't checked anywhere else out and was not sure if it was a good price or not. Do most tire shops offer discount for club members? Or are there specific dealers for SAUSA members?

for that price, I'd recommend upgrading to the T1R Proxes ... they're around $250 a corner (at least for the 225x50/r16) so I'd imagine it'd be not much more than what you'd already be paying for the 4's

Been running T1R's for the last 4 years and they are a brilliant road compound. I get 2 years out of mine before camber wear is an issue.

t1rs are just a normal road tyre, proxes 4s are higher, then r1r higher again before you go an r compound.

hrm. always thought the p4s were cheaper due to being a lesser compound.

the review comparisons seemed to favour the t1r's however, especially in the wet

I ran the proxes4 on the rear of my old r32 rb30det running a shade over 300rwkw. Hooked up second relatively well and third damn well. 0-100 was an effortless 4secs flat.

Tried quite a few different tyres sizes etc. Settled on the standard 225/50/16's over a set of decent 255 18's that were like sliding on ice in comparison.

IMO great tyre, great wear, nice centered feel but with a slightly soft sidewall - which is great for straight line though. :)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄

      Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
