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 :)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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)
