G'day! With a trackday looming FAST (this coming Monday the 13th),I really need some sticky rubber. I'm really not up for a brand new set (somewhere between $1K and $2K for reasonable stuff..),so was wondering if anyone had some slightly/mildly used tyres that they would depart with for reasonable $$$'s? I'd need either 245/45/17 or 235/45/17's in something STICKY and road legal,as it's about to be double points and all that associated glaring attention it brings,especially aroung the Police State that is Goulburn. Obviously,I'll need 'em before Friday so I can get 'em fitted and balanced before promtly tearing 'em to shreds on Monday,hence the call-out for help! Normally I'd post this in the "wanted to buy" section,but as time is running out,and the tyres must be had locally...Anyone? Pleeeeaaase?!?

hahah no tyres for you! you don't need the help. See you on Monday and good luck finding some rubber.....you really should buy some proper ones like re55s, they will last a few days and are great to drive on.

Let me know if you want me to pick up something in Syd and bring them down, I will be in Goulburn from Sun night

Ah,it's all good! If I can't find something,my new Pirelli P Zero's will just have to take a beating...LOL! Being that the Dutton Rally is over,here's hoping... I will get around to some new tyres;more likely when I get a second set of rims...

Got a set of some Ed special dodgy Maxxis pieces of crap... not much good for actual track use besides belting the car sideways every opportunity you get :O Just thought id offer :P

Will be coming down to check out track day, but that stupid firewood log has left me pretty damn broke, so no entry for me (ill get there one day!!) :)

Jayce,

Apparantly Tempe have Falken RS-V04 semi slicks in stock in various sizes, 255/40/17's being ~$240 a tyre. This is only hearsay, give them a call and find out, could have them shipped overnight, and fitted tomorrow if you were real keen :P

      I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...

      It's either an ignition failure or a fuel failure.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?
