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:

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      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
