Yes, they are parallel imports, and production date is 04. They should have a 3 yr life on the rubber, which is why he is selling them at reduced prices

According to the Toyo website, the tyres are only good for 12 months and they specifically warn about buying parallel imports.

The "shelf-life" of the "GGG" and "SG" tread compounds is considerably shorter

compared to the compounds imported by Toyo Tyre & Rubber Australia Limited. The

majority of the parallel import Proxes R888 tyres in "GGG" & "SG" tread compounds were

produced in 2004. Performance of the "GGG" & "SG" compounds will not be as the

manufacturer intended where tyres are more than 12 months old. This is one reason why

Toyo Tyre & Rubber Australia Limited keeps very limited stocks of Proxes R888 "GGG"

tyres.

Perhaps the price should be a bit better considering the reduced performance?

picked up 2 of the r888 in 16's extremly soft tyre compound. mate u wana bust the price down. i think less then 150 for any semi slick is a deccent price, pretty much similar price for a normal road tyre in 225 40 16. taleb's was very helpfull also.

    • Ducan , yeah sure mate , the unit is https://www.carlinkit.com/ambient TBox Ambient -  plugs straight into the USB C and it runs as a android  unit and you can link your phone to it via Bluetooth , but it only allows for one phone at a time. you can download and apk files you want and load it on there , I downloaded a basic maps apk (OsmAnd+ — Maps & GPS Offline) so I can run navigation without data usage , its not as good at google or wazes but it works fine for what I need. I can put up screen shots if you like. Cheers Pac   
    • Hey Team , just got the Fujitsubo unit installed , not a big db difference but it does sound better across the rpm range , I have the front pipe on order I'll post a video with sounds when that has also been installed.
    • The gearbox in my R32 GTS4 (now with RB25DET) has just over 300k on it . Life includes some track time. Has had one change of oil in its lifetime. I rev match on down changes. I don't have any problems with synchros or gear crunching.
    • Currently advertised with some A4 flyers up at work for $30k ono Will detail it next week, and get some good picks for carsales, then put the cover back on and put it back on the tender until someone comes to look at it No real hurry to sell, in saying this I would like it gone with in 6 months as I am retiring in May 25 and lose the ability to store the car undercover in a secured site, plus as we are moving out of Sydney the potential buyers market will be more limited https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485907-2002-vx-ss-commodore-30000-ono/
