Just thought I'd pass on my positive experience with these guys. Some of you may remember that we had a members' night there early last year and were issued with some VIP cards.

Anyway, I rang to price some wheels, and ended up driving in (from the other side of Ipswich) to speak to Tony. As soon as I mentioned SAU he said "no worries, we'll look after you", and helped me select wheels and tyres. I'm not the most decisive person on the planet so this took a while, but Tony was quite patient. I decided against 18s because of recurrent cost (due to the number of kays I do) on Tony's advice.

Despite not having an appointment, the guys managed to squeeze me in and I drove out with a fresh set of 17x8 ROH 'Drift R' wheels and Falken 235/45ZR17 rubber, for a very competitive price.

I should also mention that they were VERY careful putting the wheels on, using a cross brace instead of air tools and ensuring that the balancing machinery didn't scratch the rims. To top it off, the car drives very nicely, not a single shake and the wheel sits perfectly straight.

The service was fantastic, the staff were friendly, and the price and quality of the product is outstanding. I am one happy customer :(

i needed 4 new tyres on my silvia/onevia as i'd worn the insides of the front and the rears were stuffed from last trip to the mt cotton skid pan. I picked up 4 2nd hand tyres, front were 225 and rear 265 in 18's for the car for $300. The fronts were pirelli p zero's and the rear were bridgestone S 02's. These were 2nd hand but they have heaps of tread left on them. It was great cuz like everyone else i was broke so shortly after xmas. This was thru a guy named michael at all round tyrepower near the albion overpass.

Bob Jane at Toombul is about the only Bob Jane I have ever been to...and it was only out of necessity. They had great service and I will only use a wheel brace which they were happy to use for me.

The only other places I go for good wheels and even better tyre deal are Quickfit at Newmarket (Scott) or Yerongpilly (Jason). The Yerongpilly store also do Dunlop motorsport so you can get good track tyres for good prices.

If you are in the need for tyres due to better prices I would go and see Jason, just mention my name and he will help you out personally (not in the way some of you may like though...)

Cheers

Neill

that sounds great guys almost funny.Every tyre shop will balance tyres and use what ever not to scratch your mags.Would you pay for a job if your wheels were scratched...????? Guys this is common service you will find from any reputable tyre shop.The only question to be asked from tyre shops is what is your price.....

    • See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.
    • That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.
    • Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.
    • interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
