iii) oil crayon chalking of tyre brand & spec in red, yellow or white

I used to do this in white on my old Bridgestone Potenza's with a paint pen, looked awesome but damn was it annoying doing it every couple of weeks to make it look new. I got over it.

Hey buddy,

Thanks so much - you're a champ. Unfortunately, I gave them a call but they only operate in NSW. However, I am still interested...hope I find another group that does this shortly.

Thanks mate - this is exactly what I wanted.

Cheers.

Kevin

Update: I rang this nice guy... name's James or John (can't remember). 0439 360206

He does it, around $25 a tyre...but two thing's turned me off - they only last for 4-5 months tops and will wear fairly quickly if you drive a lot.

I guess, it's worth getting red wall tyres OR red wall rims!

But for those that are still interested...give this guy a call - he's really helpful!

Hey mate, what you talking about? I don't see any red GTR, all I see is a red Civic.

Post up some pics of it.

    • The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.    
    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
