Well they're not really designed for street use, but they are a street legal tyre. You can normally get around 8,000 to 12,000km I've been told possibly even more, it depends on your driving style. Obviously if you factor in the additional wear from attending track days the tyres wont last those many km's.

Any idea how much you will be selling them for?

He actually did break a few road laws..

Ok Guys, Here's the deal... Darren (Daz) and myself went down to Donnellan's in Box Hill this afternoon and arranged some great prices on Bridgestone RE55's for all you lucky SAU Vic punters who are looking to buy some semi-comp rubber. There are two different compound tyres you can choose from with the RE55, the SR or the TT. The difference is the TT is a softer compound, which is stickier around corners, but will wear out faster. The SR compound is recommended for getting more life out of the tyre, while still providing strong grip on the track. The price is the same for either compound that you choose. These prices are currently available as single purchase, just make sure you mention you're from Skylines Australia. The group buy I was planning was too difficult to coordinate logistically, and the prices wouldnt be much less anyway, as these are already low prices..

^^ Pre meet info & details updated, see first post ^^

G-Attack R-tune I can adjust the spring damper rates on the dial on the top of the struts.. but I to adjust the camber u need camber plates or a camber kit.. Yes Troy, answer my PM punk! Roy, what's a good camber setting you would recommend? I think the stock camber is set at 1 degree... so maybe increase of 1-2 degrees negative? I want about 3 deg. negative on the front.

You have a pm Troy :headspin:

I'm down for a pair of blue harnesses, with fast release buckle.

11.4% ?? fark... that's a bit high! Try going through a finance broker... if you can, get a commercial/business finance loan. You save heaps in interest.. the standard rate would be around 7-8%.

Hrmm... I'm going to have to make some camber adjustments on my Nismo coilovers Thanks for the advance tip.

That's a damn good price!! Daz I know u want these Fark... I'd even buy them for a second set... for backups haha

thanks mate, I already have the distributor details.... I just called around a few places, got a sweet price quoted for the 18" RE55's there could possibly be a sponsorship or club discount opportunity there too... I'll see when I go down to place my order.

A032R's are replaced by the A048's.

My fire extinguisher didnt come with one of those metal date punch card things.... do I need to get one before I go?

Ok, I'm planning to buy some new semi-comp R compound rubber for the next race meet @ Sandown.... so guys which place in Melb. has the best prices on ADVAN/Yokohama A048's and Bridgestone RE55's?

Thanks Pete, let me know when mine is ready

I got my sparco bonnet pins from Meridian Motorsport.... cost $35 but I think the price is a bit higher now. As for the Sabelt TRW harnesses... If they're the blue one's pictured above with the 3" straps, rotor buckle (jet fighter style) and long straps for parcel shelf mounting then im in!!

Bump!

It's about time someone in Melbourne gave the boys from Japanese Motor Sport in Adelaide a run for their money!! I'm sure you would get alot of business from the keen punters in Melb. looking for good prices on second hand big brand performance gear. All the best with the business venture!

It's not your solenoid which controls the fuel cut... it's your ECU. Adding an aftermarket solenoid, bypassing your stock solenoid, and having an electronic boost controller will allow you to increase your boost, but the ECU will still cut fuel once you go above a certain level of boost because it thinks your engine is receiving too much fuel, but in reality you're running more boost which is making more power and burning fuel quicker. You will need a fuel cut defender if you're having fuel cut out issues, but I wouldnt recommend using a FCD if you're boosting above 1.0 bar. Get a Power FC, and make sure you have adequate cooling capacity as you increase power.

LOL wtf! the thread title says 12/9.... which is tomorrow (Sunday).. geez u dont need a long neck to be a goose
