There is only one problem with these great prices on Nitto tyres at Taleb and Ozzy tyres...

Nobody has any stock!?!?

Ozzytyres took my money and then phoned me 5 days later to say "sorry we don't have any in stock" and then tried to sell me inferior, cheaper tyres for the same money telling me that they were better and cost more (they were trying to sell me RT615's and NT555R's neither of which are in the same league for performance or price). That is at best dishonest and at worse... well... what do you reckon?

I would not recommend Ozzytyres at all :down:

I hope they've gotten better at balancing wheels; I must've had 1kg per wheel when I bought tyres there a few years back.

The vibrations nearly shook the paint of my car on the way to my regular tyre service to have them rebalanced; ended up with about 10 grams per wheel...whistling.gif

they dont make a 235/17 in a 45 profile.

they do have a 235/40/17

if you desperately need a 45 profile look at AD08's

wtf is wrong with them lol

235/45 has to be the most common tyre size this side of 205/60/15s lol

40 profile would look shite

oh well, will look into AD08's......or buy wider wheels :whistling:

Yeh I should have clarified; nobody has the NT-01's in stock

In what size? I ordered a set of 18" 235 and 275 - and after reading this thread I checked stock levels (in stock) and manufacture date (aug 11) with them before committing. They are now on a truck coming across the nullabor. Nutty pricing for R comps with free shipping.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
