Found myself looking at new tires, do they seriously expect me to pay $375 per tire for Michelin Sport 3's?

On a related rant does anyone know the best place to get cheap tires in Canberra?

NTW (Mick) for Federals :D

He's SAU

In FYshwick

I think it stands for National Tyre Warehouse ?

Extreme good price

Thanks for the tip :0 Did you mean Nationa Tyre Whole Salers, they have a place if Fyshwick. Now I've got to pick between the 595 or the 595EVO :D

595 RSR

ill be shoving 595 rsrs on mine when i have some money... Thats a big when. I finish my job next month so will have to wait and see what happens..........

What would I do with RSRs? I would kill myself the moment it rained :P

Whats the wear rate like? I would have thought that a semi slick would last about a week on the road.

Im yet to run them properly. Someone will know... Considering how widely they are used id say its pretty good.

Ring the number, ask for mick, let him know your an SAU'er

Address: 14 Yallourn St, Fyshwick, ACT 2609

Canberra, South Canberra

Tel: 02 62806800

RSR's work fine in the wet and do last a reasonable time.

The tyre wear on these depends on your driving and distance.

Had them on the Toyo Taxi for well over a year now

apparently i might have my GTR back tonight... It's literally about to go on the dyno... SO keen!!! BECAUSE NO MORE WORK NEEDS DOING. Until something breaks. CRY.

I hate hearing them on the Dyno - they scream

I always stress about what is happening to my car :/ like getting it back and they say, Rev limiter is really high, (Insert name) managed to get it up to 8500RPM :verymad:

Also thanks for the tips about tires, will definetly get some next pay :)

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
