This is what my tyre placard states, the law states you cannot ecceed + or - 15mm of overall diameter of factory wheel/tyre combination.........otherwise speedo will be out by a certain %

So you could run r22x30x245 if your hektic and that

I'm actually looking for tyres for my 19x.9.5's (when they show).

Some good deals in 245/40 R19 - HSV front end tyres from what I'm told, same as what spoolin is running from memory. They are 1.5% out.. So at 100kmh reading you're doing 101.5kmh.

sweet, what offset do you have to run 9.5 wide? Mine are 9 inch wide and they are just legal, but will be getting new wheels when the funds allow it.

Oh noes! Does that mean I'm breaking-law.jpg?w=385&h=240:banana:

Like a Baws.

This is what I run; it gives around 3% error (100km/h indicated= 97km/h actual) against my GPS. thumbsup.gif

My tyre size is exactly the same as yours Dale, & my speedo reads 7% fast at 100km/h by my GPS.....

I think the satellites need recalibration.

Lol, well I get a different speed going in two different directions on the same piece of road; so anything's possible...

Maybe if they bring the satellites a bit closer to the earth?:blink: They're miles too far away, IMO...

Jase, if you're wanting to fit the valve body upgrade at the same time as dropping all the fluid, I can sell you mine, that rocked up today, and just order another one?

I'm not in a hurry, especially since I changed the trans fluid when I got the car, around 6 months ago. So if you're changing the trans fluid shortly, better off doing the shift kit at the same time.

Evidently I have come into this with my eyes shut. What is this valve body upgrade? Not the shift kit thing that everyone is talking about? I don't think I have the mechanical confidence to tackle a job like that.

Yep, that's it. Mine came yesterday. I love the sticker on the front, but I don't believe a word of it....

Yeh....not hard at all.....you just don't want to make an error. Things often come with labels like that.....also throw the distructions in the bin as they have a whole heap of useless info in them too!

Seriously

If you have mechanical knowledge it's a can do....if your struggling to do anything on your car mechanically don't attempt it!

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
