Cal while you're here, who in town would be best to see for tyres? I've got rims coming next week and i don't want to fork out more than i need to on tyres but i don't want to get cheap shit ones. Need 275/30/20 & 245/30/20

ring somewhere down south.....

Cheapest tyres i could get for 265/35 19's were Kenda's or Kendras and they were $300 a tyre

Unless 20's are more popular than 19's I would seriously get them sent up from sydney or somewhere

When I asked tyrepower what they had, they said "we can do Yokohama _____'s for $735 each"

So yeah, Mackay is not the place to buy tyres from lol

Jesus christ, $735 EACH?? what were they made of rubber that doesn't wear..?

But now that i think about it, i don't find it that hard to beleive. After all it is Mackay.

Thanks for the advice, can you recommend any sites/brands that would be reasonably cheap but good quality? This is the first time i've ever bought tyres haha.

Talk to Taken Tyres. I've dealt with Ali a few times and things havent always gone to plan but there customer service is awesome.

Had no issues with them. The only issues we had were from their suppliers stuffing up on the rims I have now. They will sell you the kumho KU31's At a reasonable price and I think delivery is only $15 a Tyre. Not sure if they can do the Kumho's in 20's but

Taleb Tyres*Stupid auto correct

What's a "reasonable price" though Cal? I don't want to fork out more than probably $250ea

Ummmm Think I was paying $280 for The KU31's

I've had a quick look at option 1 garage's site, and seems like they would be alright to get tyres from. Best thing to do is just ask around. Not sure on resonable prices on 20's but if you can get some for $300 or lower I'd be happy with that

Okay great. I have a mate that is somehow tied with the owner of Meng in paget and aparently he's going to hook me up with good tyres for $150each but i don't beleive that until they are on my car lol. Also just waved to you near Sydney street, i was driving a white Pajero.

In the carpark? Thought someone was flipping me off haha

Nah man i was driving into city heart in the left lane and i saw you coming up behind me in the right lane (i read your number plate backwards lolz) and put my arm out the window and waved as you went past. VROOOOOOOOM

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
