getting quotes for new tyres for hilux so boss can make a decision... stupid tyre sizes from toyota. 205/80/16. "butter cutters" (apparently). bit pricey for what they are...

Bob Jane tried very hard to sell me 245/70/16 reckons they would fit fine on a 6" wide wheel.

Tyre Factory across the road said 245 shouldnt be chucked on a 6" wide. I dont know if he's right, but theres plenty of people driving hiluxs with stock wheels and 265 wides or bigger on them. is it because such tall profile? or because bogan?

One of the SAU VIC main sponsors is City Discount Tyres Morrabin

Got some cheap tyres over the weekend from him for the daily

Paul is your man to chat to. You may have met him at some of the track days in his Bluebird

thanks for the reminder Toby, I forgot about them. guys there have done me some solid favours. issue is boss wants it done during business hours near dandenong so no use trying to sway him on that one.

i honestly have no idea what speed im doing most of the time

is it just me or is the speedo in a weird spot?

i get revs are more important but yeah i have no idea most of the time

i dont speed a lot, but in general i have to sort look around the steering wheel to check speed

never had an issue, but did initially notice it as a bit annoying with its tiny-ness lol.

This is some serious gourmet shit! Usually, I would be happy with some Seinfeld, but go springs this serious GOURMET shit on us!

I don't need you to tell me how f**king good pulp fiction is ok? I'm the one who watched it. I know how good it is.

But you know what's on my mind right now.. it ain't the movies on go

    • How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.
    • Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?
    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
