I need to make up some straight pipes for Hamish to approve :P

Maybe then I won't hear my NT05s.. nah but srsly loud with 4 of them on, I might go back to stockies soon for some super happy powerskid action the problem is the car is too low then and scrapes :(

So how much would I be looking at for a locallly bought set of NT05's in 265/35/18 or 255/40?35?/18

I've just chucked my 17's on the back, I don't really want to be rolling for too long with mismatched wheels :P Was hoping to drop off the rims this week somewhere, then pick up later in this week,,,

Don't really want to go anywhere over $275 / tyre... So "AD08 territory tyres" are out, no good for a daily anywhere with their wear rating...

IMO, steer clear of anything remotely soft compound.

I had a set of bridgestone ER300's that I was very happy with grip wise, and lasted 60,000kms. chuck em on the 17s for cheap and save the 18s for DECA or possible track days?

Nitto NT05 on a 265/35/18 would be just under $300

Nitto/Toyo are from the same factory people think its the same compound as the Toyo couterpart with a different pattern

In saying that I currently run Nitto Invo didn't last that long...

Funnily enough I'm thinking RS-R for my next set if I have no monies :P

Yeah I'm trying to save some cash, so think I'll just be dropping the rims into OTR for some new RSR... was just wondering if there was anything else for the same price with as much bang for buck

It takes me 6 months to do 5000km. That's also how long a set of federal rsr tyres on the back of the skyline lasted, fronts could near on do 20000km.

I have 60 treadwear for the track, 400 for the street.

1) Can I book a test drive? 2) I have enquiry regarding price. 3) Can I please have more information on service history? 4) Hi, Just viewed your listing and will like to purchase it. can you advice on how long you have had the vehicle, why you are selling it, has it ever been damaged, what condition is it in, will it meet a RWC, does it have any bad habits and your final price? I will be Glad if you can send me some pictures.. Kindly get back to me as soon as possible. Awaits your response Steven


Can I please have more information on service history? Please kindly advice on the final price and the present condition...

Interested in your listing,can you send more pictures(insideespecially) to martianlabelle(at)gmail(dot)com.Regards


^ Enquiries about a car I have for sale on drive.com.au, are these scam replies or legit do you think? If scam, what blipped on your scam radars?

Car is a 2006 Alfa Romea GT Selespeed

Nitto NT05 on a 265/35/18 would be just under $300

The T1R would be the NT05 equivalent. Tthe Toyo R1R is a much better tyre. Has as much dry grip, but better in the wet and quieter/smoother if it's your daily driver too,

is that all from the same person? sounded like you put a bunch of inquiries into a list... but sounds like a pretty standard response from when selling my car. that or "will u swap 4 R33 skyline??" or "ill give you $1000"

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
