Has anybody dealt with them before or know of anyone who has? They look pretty well organised. I am thinking about buying some 17in nankangs from them $120ea + $10 freight. My main concern is their delivery, as I need them within the next week or so...

Any recommendations would be tops.

Cheers

Cal.

Dealt with them also about 8 months ago. They were good to deal with had the wheels sent to Sunshine Coast and had them in 4 days. Good prices too for wheel and tyre packages! Just make sure you confirm everything before they ship.

Good luck with the new tyres

they are good...i bought a set of rims off them when i used to live in sydney...stay clear of ozzytyres- they are the worst, and big 0 tyres are just as bad

Totally agree Ozzy tyres are knobheads. I went there to get new springs in because the previous owner had chopped them and I got defected for it. I told them that I had to clear a defect, drove from Newcastle to Sydney, buggered around all day getting them fitted, got back home, went to a workshop to get it cleared and I was still 2cm under height. Ended up buying 12 rubber blocks, jacking up the car and jamming three in each spring coil, drove VERY carefully back to the workshop, got it cleared and sold the car 3 weeks later. Everything was falling apart from having such a harsh ride for so long.

Long story short dont go to Ozzy ;)

You, might be the Knobhead,selling your car to some poor unsuspecting person knowing quite well it wasn't roadworthy.

Just my opinion though.

yeah a mate of mine has bought 2 sets of tyres off them, 1 set of 20" rims and a set of 18" rims all came within a few days and no problems with them. just make sure if you need offset or anything you state the correct offset to them and spacer size also. these are the most important things.

Um no actually if you read it properly i got the springs fixed, and the problems i had i only found out about every time i got a service. And she got an NRMA inspection before she bought a car. And i took the rubbers out. And dont say its unroadworthy because of the height, how many cars sell while being too low?

I have a set of 255 nankangs on the rear of my 33....

They are falling apart.... Way toooooooo soft.....

There is rubber all up the back of my car all the time.... No burnouts either.... They are really tight but very fast wearing tyres....

At the price i cant think of a better tyre tho.... For price/km's traveled i think there pretty good.... Just hate the rubber all over the car...

i need sum 255 tyres soon aswell for the rear. i also have nankang ns II but i have them on the front. they are a soft tyre but they seem to grip ok but im going to get a tyre that is a bit harder compound for the rears bcoz i just dont think they nankangs will hold up to the rear end torcher. there just too soft.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
