I need to ask a favour...

I need DOT tyres for compliance and I have Jap TOYO's on at the moment (very good and will be using them in the future). Can I swap / borrow a set of rims with rubber that will fit a GTR by Wednesday morning just for compliance. I will reward the willing person for there troubles and good will.

For swap - duration of compliance (245/40/18 ZR) not sure off set. See pic below>>

Please either PM me or send me an email ASAP if you can help.

Thanks in advance.

damn you're quick, you posted this up right after we left your place :)

I think Snowman has a sapre set lying around, might wanna PM him and ask him.

Thanks Shaun,

I have PM Snowman but he has Semi-Comp rubber on his spare set of rims that most probably will not pass compliance. Thanks for the offer Snowman.

I need other options.

My last resort will be to buy some rubber (probably those semi-comp RE55's on sale at Box Hill) but would rather just do a swap because those TOYO's are fine and would like to keep my purchases as low as possible for the next few months (compliance, insurance, tuning... maybe rubber, how the hell am I going to explain this one to the boss!)

Help!

Thanks to those who offered help (Snowman, clarkey and Funky)

It seems I will not require a swap anymore. The TOYO R1R's (great rubber) will pass compliance under the 15 year rule.

** Put car in for compliance TODAY and car has also been booked for a TUNE for Thursaday next week. Not long to go now...

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
