Hey all,

Its been a while since I have been here and for that matter actually driven my car! Any time I want to go for a fang, the bike gets the preference (K6 thou)

Anyway since all the rain and cold weather, I have started to drive again. First time since febuary!

I need tyres!

I have pretty much narrowed it down to the federal 595 SS. Since I dont drive the R32 hard I cant justify the Neova's or RE01R's again- Even the normal RE01's.

So basically, I am looking to get the well priced 595 SS which I have seen for as little as $125 each for the 235/45/17 http://www.holmart.com.au/tyres.html (melb)

I have 9'' wheels all around, its currently got the 245/45's neovas on it so I want to look at the 245/45 and the 255/40's that federal offers to make sure my sidewalls going to be "a touch stretched" mainly as I am not using a brand I have used before.

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great!

I bought 255/40 17s for $180 each a while back (about 9 months?) from Tyrepower at Alexandria. I'm also BNR32 with 17x9s. I'm happy with the tyres, but i read a car magazine review that said the Falken 452's were better at about the same money, so i'd probably try them if i were in the market for tyres now.

Since you have a quote, just use that as bargaining point, to see if anyone will beat it. They're all a bit flexible and probably wont give the best price first up. There's place on the highway at Chatswood that does Federal (was it Payless?).

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
