Thanks Chris32.

I have a set of 17x7's with 235/45 SO3's on at home, more than welcome if you want to come up and put them on and go for a drive to see what you think

They are have about 65% rubber left on them, and have a bit of cmaber wear etc, but they would give you a good judge on how they handle etc

Better than spending $500+ dollars and finding out they are not what you like etc

I might have to take you up on that:) what sort of pressure did you run in the Azenis? I just did some searching and read ( a couple of times) that you need to run the right pressure or the girp is not so spectacular?

Also, do the S03s have stiff sidewalls? I want these to be pretty firm, to try and counter the understeer I have at the moment?

If the Azenis a really crap i could always put them on the back and kill them:)

I tried a lot of pressures in the Azenis, they seemed to work best at around 30-32psi. Anymore and they would tend to get a bit skatey under brakes. Grip was pretty good, but on the road they didn't have chance to get decent temperature into them, on the track once they were hot, they gripped well. One thing I didn't mention is that they were extremley noisy due to the tread pattern

The SO3's have a really stiff sidewalls, probably the stiffest that I have seen other than RE540/RE55S when they where of the rim. Both Freebaggin and myslelf had a good look at this when we were looking for tyres, and they have really strong sidewalls. I think that is why they were a good match for the RE55S's on the back

Let me know if you want to give mine a try, at least you will be able to compare them with what you have now

Well, I just found some RE55S in the new hard(er) compound - 235/45/17, $351 fitted, so it looks like I will go with those.  I'm excited:D

thanks for your help Chris.

Awesome!, thats a heaps good price Steve, can I ask where you are getting them from? might get another set for the back of mine :( Apparently there was some type of replacemnt deal going on with the first series of RE55S due to the wrong compound, might see if they will swap mine

Make sure they are hard compound, and you'll be laughing

Bye Bye understeer :(

Magill Bridgestone -  8332 0800, ask for Kim.  Only dealer in Adelaide (so I was told).

First thing he said when I asked if he sold them was 'we have them in stock and they are the new hard compound':)

Cool, will give him a call

Cheers, Chris

Good to hear you got them Steve

Make sure they are nice and warm before you give them a bit, otherwise they might carve up a little bit if the rubber isn't up to temp

Would be similar to the rears you have - when you hear the rocks/sticks/loose road flicking up all over your car, they are up to tmep :D

Enjoy them, I have contacted Bridgetsone to see if they will offer any sort of replacemet and or huge discount as they sold me the really soft ones - will wait and see what comes of it

excuse my laziness, but what's the difference between the trampio tpg's and the r1r's ?

i've had my r1r's for 16,000km's and they are only just starting to get a little worn now. eg. i notice more wheel spin in 1st gear for instance. i have had 2 trackdays in them.

they come highly recommended. i had them fitted and balanced at an average of $300 a corner. im running 255x35 and 235x45.

id like to compare them to the azenis, however i think the azenis might be more of an rspec tyre than the r1r's....hence more grip, less wear....

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
