Hey I need new tyres and my camber is out so the tyres are wearing massively on the inside shoulder, where does everyone go to get their tyres replaced and get alignments done (SOR). I have just been to tyre power in canningvale on bannister road and they said that they get SAU people in there all the time.

They also gave me pricesas follows:

235/40 R18

Silverstone EVO8 $185

Federal $199

TOYO TPG $264

and the wheel alignment front/rear for $49

I wont been needing toyo tyres because I dont race my skyline or drift etc. Something a little cheaper for me, has anyone tried those EVO8s or does anyone know if they are good tyres? Yes I hammer my car occasionally, it's a skyline who wouldnt.

Any help is appreciated and I couldnt find anything in seach so if there is a page with a list of places where SAU members go then let me know, didnt see any tyre places there.

I am also in the same predicament with my toyo trampio tpgs wearing on the inside shoulder (was in busselton yesterday and noticed that I could see the radial - not good!!)

I'm probably going to go for the trampios again, these have lasted me around 18 months or thereabouts and I've had no real problems with them.

You may want to invest in a camber kit to fix this problem once and for all. I'm going to, and the cost is something like $130 for the rear and $160 for the front (check with wilkinsons).

Paul @ tyrepower in cannington is a great guy to deal with.

Jason.

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?

      Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.

      Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
