Yeah mate, see you there then

Yep, in that case call Tyreline and talk to them. Advantage are just a dealer
Tyreline are the importers

TSL Swampers aint that flash at Karakariki........

Have you been talking to Tyreline or a dealer?

The Silverstone importers would be the worst company I have ever delt with too, I would recommend anyone to steer clear of any of their products

Ive had Simexs for 8 years, tried Silverstones the last couple, Gone back to Simex now.................... 3 years of winch comps on the same set of Simexs, Comps all over NZ............ Brand new set of Silverstones, One day at Manukau comp, and one day at Rallywoods, and they had more wear than ...

There is no date that they got bigger, it is just luck of the draw.
Mould numbers mean nothing either.
Even the importers have no idea, what size they are getting from batch to batch.

Ive got a Heavy duty jobbie from Waikato Brake and Clutch, Holds 30lb when we were tuning it, but more importantly holds the 20lb+ when towing the winch truck on the trailer..... and I give it a pretty good thrashing when that trailers on.

End of the golden run..............

Seven years of abuse came to end in the south island at the NZ1 comp recently
First CV i have I have ever broken, so they were still worth every dollar..

Sounds like we need a td42 dyno day.....................

x2 What Clint said.
OME nitrocharger sport.
Been running them on my winch truck for last 4 years, had them off yesterday and they still work as good as new.

I even felt a bit bad about some of the dings.......
Only a lil bit of bog this time...........

Disassembly is in full swing now..........
Bit of mud sitting in behind the guards...............

Have you tried genuine bushes? I ran aftermarket nissan bushes in the back of my hilux, and they were destroyed after a 3 day comp down south, Replaced them with genuine Nissan ones after that, they have had 5 years of abuse and are still fine. Yep paid shiit loads for them and lasted 2hrs whilst ...

that hole your blocking off in picture 2 mite be where the engine is sucking in air to get it to idle? so your thinking it should be hooked into intake before sc, so filtered but not forced? somehow with bypass actuator? I think you might be able to block it off once the actuator is working, and ...

Hope that makes sense! think so. so what about that small hole in second photo? got us stumped. sucks like hell at idle but blows when revved. if you put finger over when idleing it makes engine run really rough. obviously should have a pipe fitting sticking out, but where would/should pipe go to ...
