Hmm, forgot about koya... though really the cost difference between koya and the kiwamis isn't much

Yeah new that ain't cheap

But there are some that pop up 2nd hand once in a while

I got my set for $600

Wasteland brahs quick advice

As I dont know much about stretched tyres or stanceworks or hektik mexican poke and strech

Bought some 9.5inch rims with Achilles 235 crappy tyres on them so lots of stretch.

Need to run these temporarily before I can order some proper 265 tyres.

Max psi for the tyre says 50psi.

What psi should I have the tyres at to minimize chances of the rim rolling off the tyre?

As when I went to the servo one tyre was on low psi and the rim actually came off the tyre 1/2 way

I've put in 36 psi for now.

Safe to go fast around corners with streched tyres or not really?

Fkn lol @ 235's on 18's being dangerous...

in 18's ADR's state 245/40 is the minimum legal on a 9.5, so it's only 5mm each side under, however most decent tyre manufacturers will state 235/40/18 as the minimum reccomended for a 9.5. This mean's it has been tested and they are happy to put the company name behind it

I have always run 235/40's on 18 x 9.5 or 235/45 on 17 x 9.5 and have pushed them as far as they will go many many times.

Good to know

But still not a fan of stretch

also splain how the tyre can be off the rim, yet still inflatable at the servo?

1/3 the rim came off.

So we took the rim off, jumped on the tyre to put it back into place the inflated it back up

Because fake rims

I run 235s on 9.5 wheels and I'm still alive

Each to their own

But i'd rather spend the $3k saved on LMGT4's on other bits of the car

And pretty sure I'd get stabbed in my sleep if my wife knew I was planning to spend $3.5k on wheels

still not stretched if it's within the reccomended specs of the tyre...

NT05's for example are RECCOMENDED, by Nitto, to be fitted to a 18" x 9.5" in 235/40/18

let enough air out of a tyre and it will come off the bead no matter what the size

That is interesting

Dat Asian honour revenge

123's have similar performance to the KU36. I'd be running them 36-38PSI hot.

Long term, nothing smaller than 255 should even be considered, on all four corners for the track.

Yoki do a 255 and 265 in R18, Hankook do a 255,265 and 275 in R18. Though the Hankooks are generally a 35 profile and make the tyre a lot taller.

18x10 +25F +35R with a 265 fits on my car no worries. However 18x10 +23F 18x10 +33R and a 285 is on the very edge of tyre destruction.

Grip for grip, the Yoki's are more progressive and grippy during lateral slip (around corners on the power), while the Hankook's are good on initially turn into the corner. Have to see what the 2R compound AD08R are like in comparison. Now for Yoki to stop making tyres for S2000, Evo's and 86's and make some decent sizes, like 285 and 295!!!

Yeah trying to source cheap AD08's or Rs3's at the moment

Waiting for a reply from Taleb tyres and will go from there.

Going for a 265/35 tyre size on a 9.5inch rim

Rs3's from tirerack would be $420 a tire incl shipping and duties.

NT05's would be ~$300 from Taleb Im guessing. So alot cheaper :/ But not as good of a tyre obviously

I was chatting about cheffing today at work and I suddenly remembered a guy i used to work with.

this guy was the ORIGINAL hipster...

had full sleeves on both arms, the glasses, the hair, the fashion... all down pat....

i had forgotten about him until today....

worked with him in 2004!

$420 / tyre!!! No way.

OTR if you want AD08's or RTR if you want RS3. Both are under $400 / tyre.

iirc the AD08 is around $385 and the RS3 around $370.

You should, might, kinda be able to get AD08R's in 265 from OTR as well.

    • 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
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
