Hi,

Just wondering... Does anyone know where I can get Bridgestone Potenza RE-01 tyres in australia. Bridgestone Australia do not sell them as they are tyre made by Bridgestone Japan. They are to fit the 17" mags on an R34 GT-T and I need them brand new.

Thanks

Damien

U need to speak to a bridgestone motorsport outlet. Apparently they are the only

ones authorised by bridgestone to sell the imported jap stuff. I bought RE55s

in WT "soft" compound semislick DOT rated road legal for my 33gtr. Got them from Magill Bridgestone motorsport outlet in Adelaide. Much cheaper than eastern states. They had truckloads of semi slick and slick tyres. Mind you you I only get

about 5000k out a set of the above. They shave seconds of lap times at the track

"but".

AFAIK, RE-01s are Jap only - I had them on my R33 when the car was complied.

If you can get them they will not pass ADR and will not be road legal (or so I'm told).

I'm running Re-55s in mid compound they're a great tyre but like sparkman said they wear very quickly.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.

      Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.

      I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.

      LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
