  1. There only available is soft comp at the moment, but when they get some med or hard they will most likely be my choice, yes they are not road legal and the forementioned cheater slicks but for the price Ill bolt them on at the track. On a side note my new street hoops, Ventus R-S3,s, will be leaving the states any day now, saved about $300 after fitting using tire rack, cheapest I found here were $300 a corner, tire rack $134 US a corner Mark
  2. I don't run to win, only to have fun and go as fast as my old bones and small testicles will allow. I may end up getting the "cheater semi slicks" from tire rack as I cannot justify spending 5 to 6 hundred on tyres I can get for 1/3 the cost from the US. And as for the classes, I run in SVD so I have no chance in the class even though my car is regoed and engineered, I'm up against all sorts of stripped down race cars with rego plates. If they stand by the rules that the car needs a engineering cert at scrutiny to comply with the ADR for modified vehicles to be legally road registered then that may change my thinking, until then though I'm rolling in my overweight daily on the best tyres I can get for a reasonable price. Mark.
  3. Bloody AJs and their cars, LOL. Enjoy Mark the "ginger beer"
  4. I honestly think the manual VL would be better than a POS AUTO Skyline, just change the rims to some SS rims. Why the hate of manuals, just curious. Post up some info on it, motor, mods, spares, you may get a bite. Good luck anyway mate.
  5. I still sometimes call it the DMT.
  6. Was going to get some new ones, I'll be looking at medium to hard as the boat weights 1450ish kg, none of the second hand ones I've seen or asked the tyre dudes at the track about are the size I'm after "245ish/40ish 17" but no bigger(8" rim) On the tyres hardness, I'm using my totally uneducated guess work, if I've got this wrong feel free to tell me I've got it all wrong. I'm hoping for them to last a while to, last time I used soft compound the tyres lasted 2 sessions. I'll only be using them for sprints, so 1 or 2 warm up laps then 2 hot ones. Thanks.
  7. Looking for something like 245/40 17 for my boat, tire rack don't do full slicks and I'm after happy prices, Am I going to get some for happy price or am I going to have to bite the bullet and pay through the nose. Thanks, Mark.
  8. Rego 2011 or 2012 ? Any problems with it.
  9. I'll call you in a while mate.
  10. $150, Which is 1/2the price of new ones. I used them on R34 GTT rims on a R33 GTST.
  11. Wish this was in Sydney, would go well with my S1 GTR 34 fronts, good price too.
  12. Ive had my wheel aligments done about 15 to 20 times there over the last 3-4 yrs, LOL. Ive had no problems with them, just be sure to tell them what you want it for, a couple of guys there do drifting and some trackdays, the boss owns a Rambler Gremlin drag car. Go have a chat to them.
  13. I've got the JJ ones. Cost me $55 at JAX in Liverpool each time I do my wheel alignment before track days I get 3.5 front and 2.5 rear, then returned to street setting after. They need to remove my front wheels and get it up on a hoist to adjust the front, all up takes them about 45 minutes max, nothing about bushes, a couple of big spanners is all that is needed. I'm wanting adjustable castor arms ? now.
  14. You can do this now, as far as I'm aware with Shannons at least, BUT, you will pay for it in your premiums. When I was getting comp on mine it was a option to insure it for whatever I thought was a fair replacement cost, and mine is only a GTS T, the car does need to be inspected though. In saying that, if the car only sees occasional weekend use or club days then maybe this will lower the premiums a bit. Maybe.
