I can't see the full set of Akebonos being landed in Oz for less than $2200 to be honest. Gotta remember that we will most likely be slugged with GST and maybe duties.
$600-800 is cheap!? From Japan is basically not worth considering from what I've seen this arvo.
The Akebono kit is pretty good value that's for sure. Maybe we should be looking at group buys of them?
Turned the synchro mode and there's a groaning noise every time I turn it onto either synchro or snow. That said it sounds like it may be the hinge that switches modes (I remember reading something about this?).
Any info on bleeding?
This thread seems to have the most info. I'm getting intermittent 4WD light coming on. Fluid level is well over the High line when car is off, when I start it up (haven't even put it into gear yet), the level drops to just above Low. Sound right?
On a 9" a 245 would be straight, honestly there's such little stretch in my setup it's only noticeable if you're looking for it. Certainly not obvious.
How far out is the speedo out on our cars? From memory my size made me something like 1.7% too fast from the standard 17" tyre size. Still when I'm sitting on 60km/h people are passing me.
Yep that would be ideal. Only reason I didn't go that size is because I didn't want to be cop bait. The KU31's have no sidewall protection as it is, let alone when stretched on!
Drives me nuts with stuff like this. Friend of mine had his window smashed and his stereo stolen once. Took them a week to get to him. Middle of winter and he needed his car as a daily, he replaced the window and cleaned up the glass. Assessor was suss about him as he had no proof of the smashed window. Do they not realise that the alternative is them paying for a whole new interior and cab rides for a week?
