That was from the local Jax Tyres. It was weird cause at the time they didn't have any in stock, so I rang the other two Jax's in Canberra and they were $15-20 more per tyre !

So I got the local Jax to order them in. Waited 2 days and saved $80 :)

I just got four 104's today (235/45/17), still scrubbing them in, but I'll let you know how they are in a few weeks.

For the 4 fitted and balanced they cost me $700 ($175 a piece).

DOH! Got same size tyres in ACT for $200 more - RIPPED!

Sorry to drag out an old thread but...

Any update on how your tyres performed J?

I am looking at buying 235/45/17 for the front and 255/40/17 for the rear, my total quote including fitting balancing AND a 4 Wheel Alignment is $850. I don't think its possible to get any cheaper :)

Thanks.

I've done nearly 15,000ks on mine and 3 track days, and they are still going :) Should get another 10,000ks out of them i recon, we'll see.

still happy with them and for the price you can't go wrong.

Cool, getting a set of 225, 235/17s in a few weeks after reading the praise in this thread for them. Would get 235 on the front and 245 at the back (as i have 8" and 9" rims front and back) but i think they might rub on the guards.

I have 235/40/17's on the front on 17 X 8's with no clearance problems.:)

I just had my tyres swapped L <-> R since the camber i run kills the inside of my tyres, insides were starting to show signs of wear, so swapped them over, hopefully give me a few more kms out of them

Damn, I’ve forgotten how expensive tyres can be. Searching all morning the cheapest I could find was $375 per tyre for 255X40X17. Thank god I found the Hankook's !!!! Just ordered the K104's and should be arriving in a few hours. I managed to find them for $255 each :wassup:

I just ordered a set of K104s today, getting them fitted on friday.

225/45/17s for the front at $185 ea

235/45/17s for the rear at $175 each

Thats including gst, fitting and balancing.

Just got a set of K104's put on today

235/45 $175 each

Hope they go better than the Sava 's I had. they were crap.

Hmmm @ these prices I hope somebody stocks the 275/40/17 's around here. Provided I can safely strectch them over 9.5" rims that'd be sweet. :rofl:

Phhffff... Thats not stretching, my 235/45/17 are on 9" wide wheels, theyre fine.

Had mine fitted today, feel heaps better than my old tyres (silverstone sport crap).

The guy at the shop said prices were going up by 5% today (1st of april). Not sure if he was just saying that to get me to order them quickly or if he was telling the truth.

Maybe stretching wasn't the right word, i meant if 275's aren't too wide for 9.5" rims, but think the only limitation is going to have them fit under the guards with the offset these wheels run.

But it's a moot point now, since the guy was sposed to bring them over to a mates on the weekend but never did, gotta chase him up now.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
