i would belive that boost automotive would be just as competitive as anyone elce.

tyres may be cheap on the internet but when you add freight and fitting they work out similar.

the cost of getting tyres fitted anywhere is quite expensive nowerdays.

and yeah boost is good, I get my semis off him. Brad's a friggin legend.

If these were 10" all round , i would be mad not to grab them a that price, nice looking rims.

Will call in and see Brad next week and see what his pricing is like.

Got a price from some dude on the internet last week R888 19-30-265 @ $485each + postage + fitting

That puts me at about $2200 all up.

Getting tyres fitted isn't that expensive, well not here anyway. Costs me $40.00 to get a set of tyres fitted. Try Stukeys in Melb, they are pretty reasonable, but only do Dunlop & Nittos I think. Or Hawthorn tyrepower, thats where I get my semi's from.

any jo blow off the street should expect to pay anywere from 20-30 bux a tyre then if you add nitrogen. (which is recommended even in race tyres as it is far more stable and there is less pressure growth during a heat cycle.) thats anywhere from 5-10 per tyre its all of a sudden over 100 bux for some carry in tyres. its not heaps but its all money.

im with you thoe. getting a tyre store onside if you swap tyres a lot is a good thing.

Anyone here used tyrerack.com? I've heard a lot of good things about them (and they do post to aus) but don't know anyone directly who has used them. The handling and suspension section has a whole thread on them :)

if you're game to try them out give me a call and I might put an order in too :)

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
