I'm not sure why you think Cam Gears is going to fix your car not wanting anymore timing, theres other issues at hand.

Also I told you don't get Z32's fagget jesussss.

I was wondering the same....

I don't see this ever happening lol.

"INFLUENTIAL Liberal senator Cory Bernardi wants all learner drivers to be taught how to handle a motorbike as well — even if they don’t intend to ride one."

They should learn how to ride motorbikes. Much more road awareness created by learning those skills along with an appreciation for how fragile human beings are on the road, on a bike or in a car. Forgotten very easily in the daily routine activity of driving.

That isn't such a bad idea.

Same goes for trucks. Too many people cutting off trucks not realising that trucks take longer to brake.

I reckon it's the cause of this mornings accident in eastern freeway.

needs to be said.

we need to improve our driving test.

and stop parents teaching kids/getting hours in.

make mandatory lessons with a registered instructor law.

too many times i have seen learners sat in the right hand lane for 5km and they are not turning. etc etc etc.

the state of driving in this country is terrible.

im not saying the basic driving skill, im saying the ability to drive to the rules and conditions of the road.

tldr?

your a shit kent driver mate.

I went to kmart tyre and auto thinking i'd be able to get some cheap tyres for my car, (245/35/19) dude says the range upwards from $300 im like uw0tm8? I'm like how much for Nitto invos in that size if you can get them in? his like 337+ fitting each. I'm like uw0tm8 look up ebay on my phone in front of him and see 2 for $388.. think I'll just buy something online and get them fitted somewhere.. unless people actually know of a place where I can spend like $200 on half decent tyres fitted?

My usual place closed down.. I suppose I could just go to traction tyres but thought even they are rips these days?

I don't think I've ever seen a retail store stock any item cheaper than Internet. Not sure why you were surprised to find tyres cheaper online...

$200 for decent 19's? My 17's cost over $200 from retail stores...

dont bother man, go to a tyrepower and buy maxxis maz1.

must be the z1. not v1.

again.

z1.

i paid about 150 a tyre for 18s... grippy as balls, best tyre you can get for 200 bucks and under, and better than a lot more expensive ones...

they wil be adorning my wrx when they run out.

just goggling them brings up this. if your gonna buy achilles whch are shite, get these.

On a semi-related note... you know you go to a tyre shop too often when they've got your car for several hours tracking down a puncture to repair and checking the rest of the rim in their tank to make sure there's no other leaks... Then you get them to swap the lock nuts on the rims to the standard nuts you supplied but they misread the work sheet and only did 4 nuts from each wheel... so the manager does it himself in the hot sun by hand.

Then he says "Oh don't even worry about it, no charge"

/win

lol gonna head to thewheeldeal on the way home and get something there those maxxis MA-Z1s are $205, can get some fresh Achilles for $115 review dont look so bad:

At least till I get some decent width rims on again :yes:

Maybe I'll schedule in the next appointment while I get them changed over

    • 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.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
