hey guys,

i know its a long shot looking for second hand tyres in 18s but i figured id try anywayz

here's the deal, im shopping around for Jap 17" rims, more drift style so my 18s will be for sale in abt 1-2 months time... however, i need tyres as the insides are worn and i drove over a nail on the left side. i dont wanna have to buy new ones if im gonna use them for like 2 months.. new tyres wont get me my money back when i sell them with the rims in future...

so, if any of u have suitable tyres for an 18x8 rim... please let me know. I'm running 235x40x18s on the rear fyi

thanks SAU i know you'll pull thru :)

yeah im lazy to go around lol nah its coz tyre shops say 18s in 2nd hand are rare..... i went to Weststate Tyres but they dont have much at the moment

Lee - thanks mate but 40% is a bit low.. cheap tho.. im wary abt hassle from cops with what my car already is at the moment

i've found that tyre guys dont wanna even touch 18s in 2nd hand. I phoned around heaps of places when i was after some 265x35x18 and most of them laughed at me. Im after some 245x40x18 at the moment for the front if any1 knows of them cheap

Not sure on brand but they were at west state tyres. I saw the price and my jaw dropped as theyd be good for cruising tyres.

that cheap ( i think they were 170 or so actually but still cheap ) , dont expect anything good. they are probably hard as **** but will last a lifetime.

Shaun

what brand are those Sean? those seem reasonable

btw, i found that Swan Tyres have any size u need in 2nd hand, even 19s

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
