I warned him before he bought them lol. He said nah, I got good luck since putting them on.. Lol

Poor alwina

beats having a 32R disappear on you

That said, this is what the defect notice says.

1. Air cleaner - to be secured

2. Rear wheels, to be covered to axle height.

no rwc required.

Will cable tie down the pod, and also, put on the wheels off the v35 on.

He tried to tell me my car needs Z rated tyres. like reary?

So fingers crossed, when the epa comes, its just noise, i know its not possible, but a man can hope.

thought you said semi's....

RS-R def not semi's

It's weird, half the places I look advertise them as semi slicks, but they look like (and have the specs of) like... extreme performance tyres. Either way, bang for buck it looks like they're what I'm after :)

Yeh they are pretty good tyres, they screech abit but like Martin said. Not semi.. Borderline though

as a general rule, semi is lower than 100-120 wear rating

rs-r are 140,

my R888's are street legal so it not like that a hard thing.

o rly?

im looking at getting semi's sometime next year, so will be doing some research then.

Edit: can anyone recommend a decent place for interior detailing? south/east regions

If he saw the bleed valve then that's a full EPA. The same goes for intercooler an airpod.

Vicroads staff don't know what bleed valve is. They will look at wheels and pod and go back.

Where does one acquire cheap R888's.?

I better tape up my bleed valve with black tape once my tuned is finished then :ninja:

Coming to GC tomorrow night Pat?

If you've got the stock airbox, you can tuck it under there pretty nicely as well. Makes it super hidden.

That's pretty cheap!

Still a bit more than I wanted to spend on DECA and a few track days.

$240 fitted for a 265/35/18 595RS-R

vs

$730/2=$365 unfitted,unshipped for a 265/35/18 R888

Different league of tyre I know, but for my level of competition... its a bit more than I was willing to spend this time around, considering I just bought a grand worth of rims as well :( Wallet hates me enough already.

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
