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

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

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
