what sort of rwkw or awkw are you guys running?

yeah, i think i'm fairly sold on just going 245/40 in the 36's. Price difference is just too great to try and hunt something in 265. From what traction tyres told me, 265 is about spot on for 18 x 9 and for track work the furthest you'd go down would be 245. And obviously not go up anything. If it was purely for street, i'd probably be a bit more flexible, but because i know they'll see track time i'm keen to stay within safer limits

anyone on the big car forums have good Toyo deals? these T1r's sound good. How would people rate/compare the Federal 595 RS-R to the KU36? - In the boat of mostly street, with 2-3 track days a year (grip, not drift or drag)

any ad07's available? 245/40/18 or 265/35/18

18 x 9, all four (R34 GTR rims) 265/35/R18 standard. But Traction Tyres said i could go 245/40 if i wanted, don't know how much of a difference it would make though. O1G might be direct importing, but i don't think even the factory is producing any 265's at the moment it seems. Maybe that's why not even O1G can get them. the 245's wouldn't look weird would they? i'm guessing you wouldn't be able to tell just by eye-balling them... don't know though

tried all forums, practically all drivable kumho dealers in melb as well. no one HOLDS stock of that size, it's order in job. The warehouse, kumho, has no 265's. So doesn't matter who i call or pm or email, no one can get them until after christmas. so now i need to decide if i should get some 245/40's in the KU36, or perhaps 265 all round in the KU31. I maybe go some Federal 595's SS or RS-R, or some Falken RT615's or maybe just put 2 good tyres on the back, and leave the bridgestones up the front? not sure which way to go

Hi guys, Have a track day coming up on 25th Oct and trying to sort out some tyres. KU36's are not available anywhere in Oz in 265/35 - Not in the warehouse, and i think i rang about 10 places yesterday around Melbourne but no one keeps that size in stock. Ideally, i would want to run 265/35/R18 but have been told i could run 245/40 if i wanted to, and the car would be 5mm higher, no big deal. Or i can get 265/35 in KU31's, as they are available. The car is not driven every day, and realistically will only see about 2-3 track days a year. Problem is though, my bridgestones at the moment are not coping with the 285rwkw. I'm 99% confident it isn't suspension issues as i have pretty much everything in that department. Front rear camber kits, pineapples (max anti squat), adj swaybars front rear, bilstein shocks, whiteline springs. And just recently had the boys at Traction Tyres install a few things and give her an alignment, so i think the suspension is about as good as it's going to get at the moment, which only leaves the tyres as the problem with no traction when on boost. The KU36's sound great and are obviously priced very well, but what would the better option be? 245/40/R18 in the KU36 or run the full 265/35/R18 in the KU31's?? Is there are HUGE difference between the 31's and 36's? Or not worry about it as i'm likely to have traction issues regardless unless running a better tyre? I guess i could always turn the boost down cheers, daniel

still available? and any point for the average track punter? (ie, 2-3 times a year)

nothing here. Update would be nice

come with a power steering pump? if so, can i just have that?

so it's only lip + $160? that's pretty good i reckon

doesn't someone have this as their avatar? kids like squatting on the roadside or something? i've seen his pic heaps of time before - not sure if it's SAU or another forum

wow, you have the HKS V-Cam, in an N1 with -5's.... that must be fun!

good street clutch? Super copper mix is awesome but $$ Jim Berry, NPC or Direct Clutch will make to order (ie power level, type of motorsport, etc) and at very reasonable prices.

ahhh... so this would explain the convoy of exotics i saw driving down beach rd (brighton) on Sept 19th, about 9:30am - Ferrari was first, then Lambo, then i can't remember what, then the Lotus. I thought it was probably your mob

power steering pump?? but given it's location on the passenger side engine bay, from the pics... i'd imagine it would be munched?

where you getting the prices from ash? might grab another lower lip if it ain't too pricey

Hi all want to test my oil as i'm just about to do a change and thought it would be a good time, see how the Royal Purple is going. Who does UOA's regularly and what companies do you use? cheers, daniel

^ don't need to wait. I deposited at a Commonwealth Branch. Money goes direct into your account, you would have received it at 14:04:02 yesterday

got mine powder coated in satin black (not quite glossy enough unless very clean and waxed) got the caps done as well. No problems at all unless powder coater just sprayed the caps... not sure...

i looked, and i found have had no issues with my East Bear lower lip extensions in terms of flex etc... car is low too.

just made a payment at a CBA branch, instant money Daniel Chin/Nissan R34 Skyline/Black/5 mats, no writing on anything/no heelpad/VIC - $120 will send email with details now

standard doing an oil change asap and will send a sample of the old oil off for a UOA brads, disco explained why it's actually beneficially to mix with a lower octane rated ULP

it's fine mate

sold full price, for anyone interested
