I talked to Falken a while back looking for the same tyres and was told they just stopped production of them in 17 size for no reason what so ever. Apparantly they have a tendancy to do that.

Talk to Tempe Tyres, they have (or had) Falken RS-V04 semi slicks for $250 a tyre in 245/45/17 and you can get them freighted to Canberra overnight for around $60. These are a proper semi slick tyre, the RT215's are not an R compound tyre. I dont know if it matters, Im guessing you just want them to show off at autosalon ;)

I was advised recently that Falken has stopped production of all motorsport tyres (including slicks) and have no plans to recommence. Apparently they are withdrawing from motorsport completely.

So if you are after Azenis, you will only find existing stock.

Funny,that.Hence the reason I'm chasing some from fellow SAU'er and their contacts...because it seems no shop has "existing stock".Falken Aus. told me they've got none as the current "molds" were finished,and they're just tooling up to produce more.That'd be the wait 'till mid next year,then!I don't know who's been told pork pies,maccattack-either or both of us-but I still need some pronto!

      Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
