Thanks for the advice

But when ebay shops can sell a new tyre for $190 and a local dealer asks $360 for the same model I don't think all dealers are much of a muchness

ahhhh ok.

Sorry i didnt know you were doing comparisons between online purchase and a local shop.

I have bought my last 2 sets from Tyre power Wanneroo. They have been the cheapest from the 8ish stores I got quotes from. Ring around a few others and then compare.

I found that there is a fair bit of difference between stores and by that I mean Typrepower Morley will quote different price from Tyrepower Wanneroo.

Nowadays, online maybe the way to go....Goodluck.

Cheers,

Got the rims off my V35 powdercoated pearl graphite metalic....they look so sweet now

Should suit the GTR

Yeah I got your PM but as I was dialing got dragged off to a meeting all afternoon...Sorry will ring you over the weekend

That's funny, rang them just after I posted and got a price much better than most on Kumho KU31's

Cheers

where did you get your rims from?

Which ones?

The 20's on my V35 I got from Jash at C-Red

The ones I just had powdercoated were the original 18's that came with my car.

They sorta look like R34GTR rims now

What price did you get for the KU31's ? The last i checked Ku31 with tempe was about $190 EA delivered. for 235 40 18s.

Sorry if my memory fails me, but i think that's about the price i got.

Give them a ring, seriously, i highly doubt locally, the prices can be beaten. Oh yes, haggle a little too. :nyaanyaa:

Hey Chris, try Tyre Wholesalers Direct in Ozi Park, Rob, not sure what range of brands they have but he'll do you a good price if you say Dave from Rycom sent ya :nyaanyaa:

Also has S/H tyres that have maybe 80% tread etc look brand new still!

That sounds like a really good price! :nyaanyaa: That's from tyre power wanaroo?

I did some scouting previously when i was considering btw 18's and 17' rims. In the end i went 17's for the lack of dough. It was $150 for 17x235 45 and $170 for 17x255 45 delivered for KU31's. Rang a few places and couldn't get a good enough price to match that.

Cheers for the info!

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
