Hard man to please Nick :P Maybe you have to get a 7 instead?

Will try not a get a 7. Prefer 8 for the slightly better drivetrain. A 4.5 grade french blue would be a straight buy for me tho :D

My sister is an import broker for mainfreight in brisbane so i get awesome deals :yes:

"YOU" get awesome deals. Us peeps on the fringes get nothing... :unsure:

I need someone that can do me dirt cheap 235/45/17 tires, don't care about brand.

Taken from EvoOZ. Give this guy a call. Rob@Neta Tyre and Auto.

2/49 Toombul Rd Northgate Brisbane

07 32662333

He had some mad feddys for sale in May and could possibly do it again if you ask I guess.

His May prices:

235/45R17

Kumho KU36 235/45R17 $199

Federal 595 SS $102

Federal 595 EVO $149

Federal 595 RSR $179

Kinforest KF550 $72

Durun Sport 1 $99

Hankook Z222(rs3) $199

I'd go RS3s dude. Best tyre there for the money. You'll smash your time at the drags!

Yes thats true ;) Not bashing the Feddys.

Just pointing out that at those sizes and prices, the RS3s are the best value.

Premier time attack tyre those ones...so super grip plus decent wear.

Skids on those tyres would be madness tho. Throwing money down the drain.

We all need to do a little cruise down to QR for the midweek sprints! There were some STUPIDLY fast skylines there yesterday running mid 50's!

Chris, there were engine bays there that rivaled yours in cleanliness...on a track/street car :O

Man there was a guy there who looked just like you...you don't have a brother or something who goes there? It was uncanny lol

I plan on going down more often during the week man - I'll let ya know next time, sorry bud

...btw, wednesday's down there kick ass - not so packed out!

Apparently the 595 SS are hopeless in the wet. RSRs on the other hand are great!

Thats the opposite to my experience, The 595 as they are now known are reasonable, but the RSR is pretty bad, and they are also pretty bad when cold. A good all rounder is the 595EVO.

The guys running them at the sprints in the wet at LP were complaining that they were like skates. Not much fun at all.

Stupid South Africans don't get brad Pitt joke :rant:

Haha thonges and all ey, mayb I have a twin :D

It must be man....because all jokes aside, it was freaky. I thought it was you for a sec lol

Yep I run the Evo's on my 33 R and they're quite good...especially at around 33-34psi (tire pressure lol, not boost) They're definitely my best set of rubbers yet and they seem to also be lasting a lot longer than my old tires.

It was pissing down and they were attempting track laps on a street tyre, There are not a lot of tyres out that would be good in that situation! When I think bad wet weather tyre I think of something that is dangerous at normal driving speeds, like the Nexens I had once :O holy shit it was about 5 near death experiences per trip.

The 595 ss' are total crap in the wet, when I can bag them up at 110 when I hit boost and the road is just damp something is wrong. The guys running the Achilles 123s all had good times so I'm thinking about a set of those next.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
