i was driving home last night, going along in second at about 40kmh and i gave it a quick squirt for something to do and it just started dancing up the road for about 20m before i lifted off with a smile on my face.

i think i might throw my other spare set of tyres up on the roof of the house to let them harden up.

Wellll. What we say is buy the best tyres you can afford. Its one place where skimping a bit to save $10 a corner just isnt worth it. I've got $1300 worth of tyres on my car, just on 17s to give an idea on how important I feel tyres are. The way I saved the money on tyres was changing the rear size to a 235 which in my tyres is apparently more popular, therefore cheaper.

Ok, try this place,

I still prefer to pick a quality tyre, but 2nd hand (70-80% tread).

Approx $80 - $100.

Let Mick know you got this off the Skyline website and he'll sort you out.

They also have semi slicks as well.

Just call them first to see what stock they have.

I think the next shipment will arrive in the new year - in time for the next track day, fingers x

i got 235/40 18 nexcens on the rear. I think there a very average tyre. There good if your just doing normal driving but for a performance car i think there the budget choice. Thats why i got them cause i was a little short at the time.

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
