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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
