How much are the Khumo's at Option 1?

Going from memory (it may be the other way round) in my sizes (215/45/17 and 235/45/17) it was something like:

595SS => F $110, R $120

KU31 => F $120, R $110

595RS-R => F $180, R $180 (on special)

Prices per tyre, plus fitting ($5-$15ea depending on if you want them balanced or not, and if they are on a car or loose wheels)

So in those sizes, the SSs and KU31s end up exactly the same price for a set of 4.

You want round phat black babys ? :O

Round phat black sticky babys :thumbsup:

Whilst the khumo might stick a tad better than the feddy SS just remember the SS will run rings around it in terms of mileage.

As an allrounder I still rate the feddy.

I'm not finding that. My last khumos lasted about a year. The SSs look like shagging out in about the same ballpark.

The SSs might have more meat left in the center when I'm done with them, but that doesn't help me if the edges are on belts :P

You're doin it wrong. :whistling:

There's nothing more I can do to reduce the camber wear on the rear. Its the nature of the datto-spec IRS. I have already spent a small fortune getting the base camber reduced as much as I can, but its still a tad over 2 degress, and it's still going to camber the f*ck up when it squats.

I could change the alignment on the fronts to make the tyres last better, but why bother when the rears wear out faster anyway? I like to keep the camber high enough to balance the rears, and I like a little toe out.

Ahem...cough cough.... GET A 33.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This could explain the stormtrooper walking down st pauls terrace with a suitcase this afternoon.

You guys should drive thongslappin' fords and holdens, you only need a good tyre on one side at the rear to get traction in the wet!

Epic night!

Ben (Homo) should get on here more often, then he would have something to do while waiting for his girlfriend to get really smashed at a work function

tears.

Very much so :(

The choice of who to but it from came down to two stores

Store A was slightly more expensive, but their website seemed more professional and they responded to emails quicker. They also guaranteed my phone would be shipped as part of their first batch of stock.

Store B was a bit cheaper, and they weren't sure how much stock they were getting in the first batch so couldn't guarantee they would have enough.

I went with Store A... Store B ended up with a truckload of stock, and worked through the public holiday and got almost all theirs shipped on tuesday. It seems most people who ordered from there's phones are in china already.

Store A has been dicking around, posting blog updates and emails on how hard their life is and how many orders they have to get through, and they hope to have them all shipped by the end of the week!

Backed the wrong horse... :(

    • Thanks Mate, I did know you could do that but i know there is a pump out there that you can bolt on and it all lines up. I was told about it and then forgot the model, I figure if i am pulling it apart i will just put a new one on 
    • You can also remove the veins from the HICAS portion of your existing pump. 
    • Trying to swap the rear subframe on my R34 and can't remove the L-shaped stay brackets between the front subframe mounts and the sill/chassis. I'm in the UK so rust is a problem. I've used loads of WD40 and then Tunap 103 for days beforehand. I backed off the bolts forward a bit, backward a bit repeatedly for ages to try and avoid snapping. They have all moved a few full turns. The one I've spent most time on has come loose and I can turn with fingers, and it will pull down and push up 2-3mm. But it won't come out. I can tighten it back up and loosen it off again repeatedly but it still won't come out. I assumed there's a captive nut inside but if that's broken loose then I can't understand why I can always tighten the bolt back up - I'd expect it to just spin both ways. Any ideas what's happening here? I can't visualise what's inside there to cause this.
