Hi Guys,

The daily needs new tyres, it's an 07 BF Falcon and currently has Kumho LX Platinium KU27s on it (came on the car), they are bloody fantastic compared to anything I have driven on in my Falcons (for normal driving not sporty driving, though the outright grip is amazing given the tread wear and tyre life).

I'm going to get another set but wondering where is the cheapest place you guys have found for tyres? I'll be after 4x 235 50 R17s (though 225s would be fine also as that's what it has on it though 235s tend to be cheaper) and would need shipping to Albury most likely.

I'm contacting a couple places through ebay at the moment and Tempe tyres as well.

As they are not an incredibely expensive performance tyre why not just go to your local guy who does the tyres on your Silvia?

As it wasn't a tech or performance question or even Nissan related I didn't want to clog up the specific thread with it. I'm waiting on Wheeltech to come back to me with a price (the guy who supplied my Silvia tyres).

Local prices are generally pretty crap unless you want a Bob Jane all rounder.

Tempe are normally pretty competitive with their prices.

HAve you tried Paul at Option 1 Garage? They do some great prices as well, and might give you an SAU discount

Ahh thanks for that he was the other cheaper guy I was thinking of.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
