Do These Federals Look Too Cheap?

If it's for one tyre, than no I don't think it's too good to be true. They look reasonably priced. I got my SS595's for just over $100 each but they were 205/45R17 and 215/45R17 sizes.

It equates out to around $325 not fitted or balanced for a pair. Ring a few local tyres stores and I bet most will do it for the same price fitted and balanced without having to go through ebay.

Option One Garage can supply 235/45/17's for $270 a pair delivered. Save $55 a pair by going through them instead. What size rim are you looking at putting them on?

Should I even buy these tyres? Ive been reading non stop on the huge tyre thread here and cant decide. I read some good reviews about these and for that price how can I pass? there going on 17s.

Id be happy to spend a bit more if it means ill be getting better tyres.

Well I guess it depends what you are planning to do with the tyres and what power you have etc.....like you can go out and buy $200-300 tyres and do burnouts etc and there is no point.

I just bought some new Sumitomo or whatever they are for my car ($300 fitted I think) and they seem ok but then again im not making heaps of power or drag excessively so they should last for a while (I hope). If you need new tyres I would probably try them see how it goes....

I got these tyres about 5000ks ago and they are quite good provide good straight line grip but can be a bit unstable when pushing hard through corners not as good as the kuhmo that I had on there previously but the federal where half the price at 170 each fitted and balanced I have found them to be quite soft so will be interesting to see how long they last

      Yeah I'm happy to talk to whoever, I don't want to take ownership or even manage it if they don't want but I can probably help with hosting on the sau setup. It's a great resource and should be protected.

      So, got some bits..   New oil filter housing gasket (main problem I'm trying to fix -see leak above)  While you're in there's: New belts, pulley and tensioners.  Vanos oil line New oil drain valve New water pump and pulley  New fumoto valve (all my cars have these). Some of this stuff seems ok now that I've pulled it out but I still have no idea how old it all is.  The belts looked fine and then I noticed this. Like somebody has hooked it with a pick.

      As the title suggests, Looking for some comfortable replacement seats that will suit/fit an R32 GTR. Purely road use.  Happy to travel to the Tweed, Gold Coast and Brisbane area. Possibly Sunshine Coast for the right seats. Show me what you got! Thanks in advance.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      By GTR_JOEY · Posted

      Hi friends, I recently got myself back into an R32 GTR with factory seats. The seats themselves are in excellent condition but the drivers seat is a bit tight for my back and become uncomfortable after about 20min of driving. The passenger seat is a little better so I'm not sure what is going on there, almost as if the drivers seat is newer and has not been worn in.  Anyway, I'm looking to replace them with something thats going to be comfortable for road use.  I was looking at these replica seats from Crank Motorsport however there has been a number of reviews of the company that aren't great so i'm a little skeptical.  https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/185466689021?_skw=r32+GTR+front+seats&itmmeta=01JKS72VG115M2Y3KBGCBCWYDD&hash=item2b2ead15fd:g:cMAAAOSwhhZlsIpK&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKl6v17FmqPFPHrHp4kFm2I9VMAXrpZg5R8sUXH6QLUAkliQu34NiG%2F84PJ05lKf2iGboUiWpWbvHYPYKsT154rul3I%2FaGRskpG8VfgyrwC9%2BdRj7uoDAPGJH%2FVprfvd6pgAN2XmUz6buE9YHvOPCKhtJfsQXhEzwgmVTcIwEkkV0A1r%2FkyJYMmQK0OKLI%2FrM%2FQLzeAOkN9B6WLAPrNyFlml%2FkG%2BYzkTXGJ8LN%2B0NCSLfczQGSYeJqPfvMFMgDL2gOD%2BPWb3sX1D1A6PxY5jqyMGey7zin4sDqrUrA7CpqLLpA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMmriLp55l I also live In the Northern Rivers and these seats are in Melbourne so I can't even try them out before purchase.  Is there anywhere/anyone around the Gold Coast, Tweed or Brisbane area that would have a decent selection of seats I could test out before purchase. A lot of these places seem to be in Sydney and Brisbane. Maybe there's an individual who has an after market item such as Bride or Recaro I could quickly try? Thanks in advance!
