Yeah, my brother bought a set of tyres from them a few months back. I can't really comment on how the tyres were, but when we bought new tyres from bob jane, they said that the tyres we purchased from that shop was really dodgey.

I don't know, they're probably just trying to bag out other businesses.

Do they have any 17" tires?

I couldn't find anything on the site.

Yeah they do.

Click on stock holdings, and look at the column on the right hand side of the page.

Did your brother have any problems himself? Did BJ decribe the problem or just do the old 'these are crap' line.

Either way i'm going to get some 17"s shortly, I'll report back on what they are like.

Yeah, they should have some 17" tyres. I just have a feeling they're shit quality though. :)

My brother didn't have any problems with the tyres as far as I know, I think bobjane were just trying to bag out other businesses. I can't really say, I don't know shit about tyres. :(

Would 205/55R16 fit the standard Gtr rims

the tyre says 225/55R16 on the gtr tyre

I have been told about these guys by a couple of different people. Seem to be the goods.

They will rim them up for you aswell. (not sure about rims being on car though)

Tyres will be fine for compliance and RWC.. only issues i have run into before is getting them fitted with anything less that about 80% tread and if they have had puncture repair.

As far as width goes for compliance i would probably stick to whats listed on the tyre plate/sticker thingy. :devil:

they seem a little narrow to me. How wide is the stock rim?

The standard 32 GTR rims are 8" wide if I remember correctly. They have 225 tyres on them from factory. Those 205's should fit, but why do you want to run thinner tyres than standard?

i got a mate that can get me brand new tyres for $85 pretty decent one aus standards, but i wont get them if it not reccomended.

the size of those tyres are the 205/55/R16

I bought tyres from these guys a few time. Seems fine for second hand tyres.

also liza's tyres in bayswater sell second hand tyres, although be careful about what you buy from them as some of their sets have 3 good ones and 1 dodgy one like i found out :domokun:

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
