I have changed the size of my rims and I have a near brand new set of 4 Nitto NT05 tires. They are 265/35/R18. These were purchased recently at Taleb tires for $1076 (I have the receipt).

They have the following characteristics:

- Performance Rating: W

- UTQG Treadwear: 200

- Traction: AA

- Temperature: A

Heres what Nitto have to say "...The NT05 is a maximum performance tire that was developed using advanced computer simulation and extensive on-track testing. These development methods along with rigorous quality standards helped produce a street tire that provides precise and responsive handling and performance..."

I have decided to change the size of my GTR Rims and am upsizing.

These tires have a maximum of 1500km's on them, very minimal wear, exceptional grip in the dry and wet.

One tire has had a nail puncture, but has been professionally patch repaired and does not leak.

Priced for a quick sale, yours for $500 firm.

Located in West Sydney

The tyres aren't far from brand new. The NT05's have a wierd tread pattern. Take a look at the side tread, they are about 95%. your more than welcome to take a look at them.

Mate I'm out in the city, I replied to your SMS I still have them, they are almost brand new. They are a different tread pattern, they look low on tread but they are fashioned mire like slicks, the centre of the tyres don't have tread. You can tell by the outer tread, both sides aren't even worn.

I'm on my iPhone ATM and I can't attach pics but if you go to The Nitto website you can check out the centre tread markers.

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
