How much do you guys pay for an aircon regas and from where?

Also, I've noticed a VERY bad thing on my two front tyres (haven't checked the back yet) and that on the inner side (closest to the car) you can actually see the steel threads pretty much around the entire tyre. Obviously this is a terrible thing.

I've read the previous threads about tyres, but with Toyo's costing an arm and a leg (which I can't afford right now), what are the next best (and cheaper) tyres?

I can get Kuhmo's pretty cheaply, but I'm not sure if they are any good.

Advice please.

Regards,

Jason.

$13 a kilo for 134a and your average car takes less then that  ... :mad:  

Try and get it cheaper ....

shop around for sure

but just because you believe u can buy the gas for said amount

doesnt mean u gonna find much cheaper

the companies charge 12 months rent on every bottle of r134a - so $13 is a little off - the gas isnt the cost anyways - its the labour and evac etc

Never bothered with good tyres as they never last long enuff.....

Had a set of toyos and they hooked up well but wore out quick...12ks as it was driven very hard

Fane see how it goes after the tune on wednesday.. :Bang:

    • The nissan manual says to change coolant every 2 years. Is this still necessary if you're using coolant like Penrite or nulon which has improved over the years? It says it lasts 500,000km which seems hard to believe lol.
    • According to the Muse website, totally different material. The originals were that horrible solid foam rubber that was used for a lot of rear spoiler/flap things, like on Mitsu Galan GSRs. Heavy, and with enough compressibility/flex that any paint on them would crack fairly quickly. The Muse ones are just ABS, which is obviously similar to GTR lower front lip, etc etc. ABS is a good choice if you have the ability to tool up for it. The only thing better might be TPU-RIM or something equivalent. The TPUs were good. Plenty of flexibility (in twisting, bending, etc) but not really in compression.
    • Update 24/01/2025:    Bought a GReddy/Trust Intercooler (crossflow spec-LS) that was meant for a R33 GTST $871 AUD shipped, and a GReddy Profec boost controller $483 AUD, both brand new from Japan. Being honest, I would've thought the intercooler kit was discontinued but I guess not yet. Decided due to funds + time, I'll stick with a nistune on this stock-ish setup ( stock turbo set to probably 10-12psi ) and have it run cleaner ( suspect the 3" turbo back etc has sh*tted on my economy ) for my trip down south soon for the WSBK. Hopefully I can get it all installed and tuned by then. As for who I am getting it tuned with, I will be going with Toshi, (not hearing back from DVS so scratch that). There is also Birrong Auto but not sure if they do nistune installations and if they even tune it... Otherwise, anyone know where I can get my hands on an aluminium intake/suction pipe for an RB25DET NEO?
    • The german cars I've worked on seem to have that issue(in more than just headlights). Mostly where hot, but also just the insulation hardening and cracking in various places. Not abnormal from what ive seen.
    • According to the Muse website, similar material, but not the same. Meant to help with stopping the paint cracking. In saying that, I had genuine ones on my last grt, and never had that problem.   Could you post pics when you get them? Very much thinking of buying the Muse ones over fibreglass.
