Hi Guys,

The daily needs new tyres, it's an 07 BF Falcon and currently has Kumho LX Platinium KU27s on it (came on the car), they are bloody fantastic compared to anything I have driven on in my Falcons (for normal driving not sporty driving, though the outright grip is amazing given the tread wear and tyre life).

I'm going to get another set but wondering where is the cheapest place you guys have found for tyres? I'll be after 4x 235 50 R17s (though 225s would be fine also as that's what it has on it though 235s tend to be cheaper) and would need shipping to Albury most likely.

I'm contacting a couple places through ebay at the moment and Tempe tyres as well.

As they are not an incredibely expensive performance tyre why not just go to your local guy who does the tyres on your Silvia?

As it wasn't a tech or performance question or even Nissan related I didn't want to clog up the specific thread with it. I'm waiting on Wheeltech to come back to me with a price (the guy who supplied my Silvia tyres).

Local prices are generally pretty crap unless you want a Bob Jane all rounder.

Tempe are normally pretty competitive with their prices.

HAve you tried Paul at Option 1 Garage? They do some great prices as well, and might give you an SAU discount

Ahh thanks for that he was the other cheaper guy I was thinking of.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
