Dude if you are looking at spending a reasonable amount for the types why dont you just go buy new ones and if you want them to drift go burn them up for like 4 - 5 mins untill they are smooth enough for ya.....

be a heap quicker...

If u are after tyres, there is only one place to head to in melbourne.

North End Tyres

14a carrick Drive,

Tullamarine.

I needed new rear tyres for my r33......after a quick ring around to local tyre shops (tyremen, bob jane rah rah) they were quoting me $500 minimum on 265/r18/35's. F*CK THAT i thought. . . at those prices i'd have to drive my car around with the metal radial belts hanging out for the next few months

From north end i scored myself some 285 (yep thats rite 285) R18/30 Pirelli Pzeros with 85% tread for $150 each fitted. So cheap I can actually afford to burn em up now!

Head down there, its in tullamarine so a bit of a drive, maybe $10 in petrol but damn worth it. Second hand tyres but in tip top condition, plenty of tread and NOT RETREADS.

Tomorow im gunna go buy 2X 225/50/16". Any tips before i get them? which brand should i get?

Currently i have some Yokohama GP *(Grand Prix or whatever)*.

I think im gunna keep the ones i have on the front as they seem *OK* .

I dont wanna spend more then 100$ fitted for two tyres of that size ...

gotta know which ones to get thou :dump:

BTW Marcus, was following you along Spring Street today in the track car but had to cut through the city.

Where's the honk? Clean huh? washed it yesterday :rofl: Was i motoring?

REDFC - they're the ones I have... i can get some pics tonight if you want :rofl:

Laurence, if there the type of Tyres Ronin has, will they be legal for a track day ?

Well depending on what he means by 30% then definitely yes.

Tyres have to be pretty much showing their belts before you will get rejected.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
