I go into auto-pilot all the time... When I started my new job it was in a completely different area to my old one but because I left at 7:00am and wasnt completely awake I drove to my old place of work 2 times in a row before it sunk in... 30kms in the opposite direction to my new job.

The O.D difference is actually 16mm... According to Australian standards - 255/40R17 passenger tyre (in any brand) is legally approved for use on 8 - 10 inch wide wheels. So you dont have to go to 275's if you prefer 255's.

Damn, this would be awesome... If my car is back on the road I think I may go!

Gus, Start small and work your way up... Dont replace the most expensive parts first. Go and see John at Trojan in Mitchell - tell him that I sent you and he will know what it is straight away.

Love it! Now I just have to get my car back on the road

Spotted the funniest thing on my way home yesteday, I had to make this demotivational poster out of it...

Youre welcome, The difference between the two listings in 255/40R17 is the speed rating - one is V rated (240kmh) and the other is Z rated (300+kmh), the only difference in the two tyres is in the tread compound / construction... Basically if you have a vehicle which comes out of the factory with Z speed rated tyres you must replace them with Z speed rated tyres, if the vehicle comes out of the factory with H or V rated (H is 210kmh) you must replace them with H or V rated tyres or higher. For your Skyline you will only need the V's (unless you plan on travelling at over 240kmh). The 255/40R17 595's are recommended for rim widths of 7.5 - 9 inches, there is no difference from what is sold in USA and what is sold here... Sometimes details can get mixed up in translation. You would be better off looking at 275/40R17's if you have 10" wide wheels.

I think you might find that he puts the gloves on when he fills up the car with fuel to avoid getting it on his hands and having to put up with the smell all day. Ive seen it done many times before. Unless he actually does drive with them on of course

The Federal 595 isnt a "noisy" tyre when compared to some other UHP directional tyres on the market. You may find that you get a bit of a hum from them when cornering but overall they arent too bad, especially on Skylines. The Kumho would most likely be slightly better for wet weather traction as it has smaller tread blocks, circumfrential grooves and more siping (small cuts in the tread for water evacuation) but due to the smaller tread blocks it would probably not provide as much dry traction as the 595, however I find the 595's to be very predictable and progressive in wet and dry. In my experience I would say that the 595 is designed more for high dry grip and cornering as it has larger tread blocks (meaning more rubber in contact with the road) and a slightly softer tread compound than the KU31, but the Kumho would most likely be better for wet weather and slightly longer life... Although I have managed to get just over 30,000kms from my 595's and I have a pretty heavy foot Both are very good tyres for the price. I hope this helps with your decision.

You are an old man now...

Be careful not to break the trim plugs that hold the door trim on once you have all of the screws out.

E-mail sent. I would be happy to distribute the stickers on behalf of the club... I'm sure that if myself Michele and Chris had a few each to hand out we wouldnt waste them. By the way - You deserve a HUGE thankyou for doing this for the club, well done!

How about this?

+1 Just set yourself a weekend to get stuck in to it and with a bit of common sense, the right tools and some patience its not that hard... Just time consuming. You'll save hundreds of dollars if you DIY.

I think James wants one Im in, I'll pick up 2 at Marques in the Park if thats cool...

$1200 is a pretty good price for all that... Where did you go?

Some ideas...

Ive done a couple of stereo installs in Skylines before and its no easy job, you have to make up custom mounts for the doors (usually out of ply wood or MDF)... Its a time consuming job and very fiddly.

We all run that risk anyway, it just means that we all will have to make sure that our cars are perfectly legal... I know that the Subaru Forester club do it (ask Jayce) and Im sure that they havent noticed any extra attention from our friendly local constabulary. I vote for personalised stickers... Im going to start working on some designs

No dramas Stevo, I still luv ya I want a DVD!

I agree with Luke, If we had personalised stickers then we would know at a glance who car is whos.

Thats wierd, they work now.

$650 FOR A DYNO TUNE!!??? - *Cough Rip off cough* I've had 4 different dyno tunes done by 4 different shops (Autotech was one of them) and Ive never paid more than $400.

Pics dont work.
