Erm but you're only swapping the back to the front and the front back. After that bring that to a shop to do alignment. Isnt that all you gotta pay for? Just the alignment. I'm planning to swap them when I get the coilovers.

:) When you gettin the coils ?

im gonna be putting in my coilovers on the car, to test them out, if too harsh can always remove them and go back to standard suspension, so hopefully next week when i c u guys car will have the coilovers on and lowered :)

my tyre guy was saying that khumo has excess stock and were dumping old tyres cheap here and in the US...maybe they were slippery because they were about 4 years old!

@ Brandon

u saw this car right?

Its Abu DHABI man not Abu Dubai loool, Dubai is a different city, the guy bought just a few months ago around the time i bought my car, its looks relly nice and clean.

Yes thats it. I know I was pronounce Dhabi when I saw it. But when I was typing I couldnt spell that word so I thought f**k it, just typed Dubai... Abu Dubai doesnt quite make sense does it? Hahaha

Andy: I suppose. When I read the reviews on mine, they're suppose to be good for 45000-50000km. I'm already running close to 10000km and they still look new to me. Yea, RSR and KU36 are slicks wannabes, Hahahaha! The whole street legal slicks is just a market thing. Slicks = RE55 and Toyo888.

Yea. But I'll like to know how long those KU31s and KU36 last. My colleague that drives an FD reckon the KU36 he's got are only good for around 20000km-25000km. I wonder if he bother doing any wheel swapping...

You'd be lucky to get that out out of 31s, no hope out of 36s.

Thats standard for the KU36 man cause they a semi slick they are really soft compound and dont last long :)

No they are not :ninja:

But they are soft, so they won't last long

getting 20000kms out of a tyre is pretty good, considering the grip that those kuhmos are meant to give

I got about that out of a sets of RSRs and was happy about it!

Im really happy if i get 20,000 out of a set of tyres

KU36 are not a real semi are they...they are just performance rubber in a semis slick tread pattern i dont think they are proper r compund...much like the first federal RSs were

Correct. Give the man a prize

i used to have 255 kuhmos on my 32 - slippery as f**k

or maybe just epic POWA

Must have been shit cheap kuhmos, my KU31s are grippy as.

The tyres i saw on your 32 weren't khumos, they were some sh*tty chinese brand

im gonna be putting in my coilovers on the car, to test them out, if too harsh can always remove them and go back to standard suspension, so hopefully next week when i c u guys car will have the coilovers on and lowered :)

good idea bro - i dont think they'll be too rough on you mate

When I do my next service which I'm planning to have the major done. Thats in another 5000km. Considering how much I will be travelling in the next couple of months, I think it'll probably be another 6months at least... HAHAHA!

Yes thats it. I know I was pronounce Dhabi when I saw it. But when I was typing I couldnt spell that word so I thought f**k it, just typed Dubai... Abu Dubai doesnt quite make sense does it? Hahaha

and dunlop dizzerwhateverthef**kitis they are awesome

the RSR now uses pretty good rubber though somthing like a RE55 is still about a second quicker at wakefield!

then drop its like its hot

say good bye to handling *DOUBLESLAP*

@ Brandon : Abu Dubai would mean Father of Dubai so yeh makes no sense lol

@tristan: bro you changing your rims right? i dont know sumthn doesnt look right the way the tyre is sitting in that pic,

and i will try and get the GTR 120mm off the ground front and rear if it looks nice then keep it there otherwise time to hit the legal limit at 100mm LOL,

no actually thats not a good idea my resonator will scrape everywhere.

say good bye to handling *DOUBLESLAP*

i couldnt get out of my driveway - and for those who have been to my place - you wouldnt regard it a steep driveway by any means..

i got stuck on the little rail ontop of the cement which the electric gate runs on

baller :)

I'll definitely be trying 31 or 36 for my next set if they're still in production and nothing better's out there for that money. If with tyre rotation they still clock 20000km, I might be better of getting some bridgestones for double the mileage. Anyway if these set gonna last me 40000km like those reviews I've read, I dont think I'll need to change my tyre for the next 2-3years...

Andy: I wouldnt even bother spelling that word. Is that even english?!

yeeh man, those are 15s lol - new rims are on their way SUPRISE

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
