Hi guys,

Looking at new rims and tyres. Wanted to ask everyone a good place to go in Perth that has good service and pricing.

Know of a couple of places but wanted to ask everyone on here.

Wheres the best place in Perth?

New operation... ROLL RIGHT TYRES in Jonndlaup... Guys name is Stanley.

Was put onto him by a friend who is the FEDERAL tyre wholesaler... great guy and really freindly... not to

mention did a great job (not rough so takes care of your rims) and prices are very good.

hey

my uncle Shane Curgenven is the manager of Goodyear Tyre and break Williton, he should be able to do a good deal on rims and tyres, plus he is the state rep for yokahama poformace tyres so he might be able to get a deal on them for you to.

thanks kenny

My mate manage Beaurepair in Melville,

call in and ask for Yang, he will give you the best deal available.

I wouldn't recommend any one esle in Perth, not because I know him but because he know his stuff.

go and just ask for a quote, doesn't hurt.

hi guys,

thanks for places will follow up tomorow when open.

looking at either 17" or 18" but not sure. is there much difference in weight and performance?

found the gmax energy wheel. scanned a pic of the brochure.

Someone said 18x8.5 at the front might make the steering too light so would it be better to go 7.5 at the front? I am thinking of 9.5 at rear and most likely 8.5 front.

any ideas?

cheers

    • But it's much better to use a freedom unit that has four different possible meanings...
    • I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.
    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
