G'day! With a trackday looming FAST (this coming Monday the 13th),I really need some sticky rubber. I'm really not up for a brand new set (somewhere between $1K and $2K for reasonable stuff..),so was wondering if anyone had some slightly/mildly used tyres that they would depart with for reasonable $$$'s? I'd need either 245/45/17 or 235/45/17's in something STICKY and road legal,as it's about to be double points and all that associated glaring attention it brings,especially aroung the Police State that is Goulburn. Obviously,I'll need 'em before Friday so I can get 'em fitted and balanced before promtly tearing 'em to shreds on Monday,hence the call-out for help! Normally I'd post this in the "wanted to buy" section,but as time is running out,and the tyres must be had locally...Anyone? Pleeeeaaase?!?

hahah no tyres for you! you don't need the help. See you on Monday and good luck finding some rubber.....you really should buy some proper ones like re55s, they will last a few days and are great to drive on.

Let me know if you want me to pick up something in Syd and bring them down, I will be in Goulburn from Sun night

Ah,it's all good! If I can't find something,my new Pirelli P Zero's will just have to take a beating...LOL! Being that the Dutton Rally is over,here's hoping... I will get around to some new tyres;more likely when I get a second set of rims...

Got a set of some Ed special dodgy Maxxis pieces of crap... not much good for actual track use besides belting the car sideways every opportunity you get :O Just thought id offer :P

Will be coming down to check out track day, but that stupid firewood log has left me pretty damn broke, so no entry for me (ill get there one day!!) :)

I dont know if this is what your after, but i have some falken rubber, cant remember the series but theyre 235/40/R17 and 255/45/R17... theyre off my old work rims which i stuffed..

Let me know if ur interested

he would need the same rubber all round dayne eg 4 x 235/45/17 or 4 x 255/45/17

but i am sure he appreciates the offer :P

Jayce,

Apparantly Tempe have Falken RS-V04 semi slicks in stock in various sizes, 255/40/17's being ~$240 a tyre. This is only hearsay, give them a call and find out, could have them shipped overnight, and fitted tomorrow if you were real keen :P

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
