Hi Guys,

It has come to my attention, through the number of PM's that I get, that there are a number of people interested in 2nd-hand tyres for both street and drags purposes. As I have two mates who import cars then I can get my hands on tyres quite cheap.

I have already given away a few sets of drag tyres, tyres for the drags not slicks, and sold some street tyres. I must point out that I make no money out of this whatsoever, and am just doing it to help those of you who can't/don't want to pay for new tyres.

I am currently searching for tyres for three different people, if anyone else is interested then PM me and I'll see what I can do.

I currently have:

2x Falken Ziex 255/40 17's 75% tread even wear $80each

2x Bridgestone Grid II 265/35 18's for use as drag tyres

I also currently know or a couple sets ot 18's , a set of 255/45/17's and possibly 235/45/16's for street use.

Let me know if you are interested.

See'ya:burnout:

Yes this offer is on-going, whenever you need some tyres then just let me know.

Seeing as I'm in PERTH, this offer is only practical for those people living here, but I'm sure that if you have an importer living near you then you could pop down there and get tyres at decent prices.

In general for tyres with 50-75% tread you will only pay 1/3 of the retail price, which is pretty good value for money.

G0DF4Th3R, let me know when your back.

Pva_Glue, I'll have a look for you.

Yes, I'm giving first dibs to those who have requested those sort of tyres, but if he doesn't want them then there are free to whoever wants them.

As you may have noticed the thread moved from the ForSale section to the WA forum, thanks Skyzerr, as I wanted to make sure that everyone in Perth could check it out if they wanted to.

I had a PM asking about the drag tyres, the reason they are for the drags only is that they have insufficient tread for legal road use, but they are great for a spare set of rims to run at the 'Plex, which is what I do.

driftr33,

Thanks for the kind words. I spend all of my spare time doing car things, and if I can help someone out with some cheap tyres then I will. I find that most people with import cars are nice and helpful, will lend you things if you need them or come over and fix your car if they can. I think this forum provides a good way to network and help other people with a similar interest.

Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd update you on the tyre front. It looks like I got tyres for gtrken and InitialD. Bambam wants 4x235/45/17's, Hicks is after some tyres for the drags.

If anyone else is after anything then let me know now so that I can get all the tyres in one hit.

See'ya:burnout:

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
