Hey I need new tyres and my camber is out so the tyres are wearing massively on the inside shoulder, where does everyone go to get their tyres replaced and get alignments done (SOR). I have just been to tyre power in canningvale on bannister road and they said that they get SAU people in there all the time.

They also gave me pricesas follows:

235/40 R18

Silverstone EVO8 $185

Federal $199

TOYO TPG $264

and the wheel alignment front/rear for $49

I wont been needing toyo tyres because I dont race my skyline or drift etc. Something a little cheaper for me, has anyone tried those EVO8s or does anyone know if they are good tyres? Yes I hammer my car occasionally, it's a skyline who wouldnt.

Any help is appreciated and I couldnt find anything in seach so if there is a page with a list of places where SAU members go then let me know, didnt see any tyre places there.

I am also in the same predicament with my toyo trampio tpgs wearing on the inside shoulder (was in busselton yesterday and noticed that I could see the radial - not good!!)

I'm probably going to go for the trampios again, these have lasted me around 18 months or thereabouts and I've had no real problems with them.

You may want to invest in a camber kit to fix this problem once and for all. I'm going to, and the cost is something like $130 for the rear and $160 for the front (check with wilkinsons).

Paul @ tyrepower in cannington is a great guy to deal with.

Jason.

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
