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?).

    • So, good news and bad news Bad news first: The intake plenum is lost in the mail apparently, I haven't paid for it yet, and MX5 Mania are still chasing it up, farking 'Merica postal service  Good news: Any retune will be free if and when it turns up,  I'm still keen for them to throw it on The car goes noticeably better, with only the typical initial take off thingie from a choppy cam and manual transmission, but giving it just a little more RPM than before gives it a smooth take off (and hour or so of peak hour traffic sorted that little skill out) Car made around 145kwatw & 225Nm (Intake may get me to 150kw, maybe....🤣) Weirdly, 145kwatw is the same max power that my standard 2015 WRX STI made a few years ago The cam really comes alive from around 3.5k and keeps making power and holds it flatish all the way to 7k, whereas before torque would drop hard around at 4.5k Drive home was sadly in peak hour, although I did get a little clean air here and there to wind out 1st and 2nd a little bit, and whilst the gains aren't anything for the "boosted boys" to be impressed at, the thing is a blast to drive The sound in the vid is poor, as it is in a undercover yard at work, but, outside, in the wild, it sounds awesomeballs to my ears with all the choppyness I consider it money very well spent for the outcome  Cam specs for reference (Basically the biggest you can fit with stock pistons) 20250417_171807.mp4   LOL, I don't think I will ever grow up  
    • Swap the injectors around and see what happens. If the misfire follows the injectors then that's a signal, if it doesn't it's probably not the injectors.
    • R33 with RB26 seems to go off of learned voltage for idle. Seemed like whatever the baseline voltage was once ECU first gains power will be the idle voltage. With ignition on unplug/replugging the TPS would relearn the idle TPS voltage.
    • Have you confirmed the 2 pin coolant temp sensor on the motor is working properly? I've had a very similar issue when I forgot to plug mine back in many years ago.
    • Ok interesting i guess ill wait till using a manual gauge before making assumptions.
