They haven't seen any track days :) hardly even been driven on.. I sold the wheels i was using these for so no longer need them, i would keep them for my track car te37's but that build is not likely to be finished until end of the year now so I'd rather sell and use the cash now.

Pics attached... like i said they are practically new, still have the little rubber things on them :laugh: Price is firm at $1700.

How does the date (of manufacture I suppose) affect the useability of the tyres? Do the tyres go off?

I am thinking of using semi tyres for my daily. Is that a good idea? especially taking into account my car only gets driven once a week maybe.

BTW, good price, as I got quoted $540 per tyre from Traction tyres.

Matt,

I would personally not use semi comps for a street/daily driven car. They're noisy, pick up all loose stones and blasts them into your inner guards, annoying to say the least. Also you won't get the mileage out of them compared to a competent street tyre. I'd say go for some RE11's or AD08's, reasonable grip and very quiet...

Sorry for the hijack, good luck with the sale....

If any tyre is left exposed to the weather over time they can harden and will no longer be safely usable. With semi's, you lose the benefit of the high grip levels. I will check the date when I get a chance to go to the workshop next week, but I know they are still good :) so i don't mind either way, if they don't sell I will be keeping them to use myself.

Matt - they wouldn't last long if you do a lot of street driving on them, but if you want plenty grip and only drive it one or 2 days a week then could be an option. Of course you have to accept the tyre noise and stones flicking up, tram lining etc.

I'm driving my daily around on RE55's but that's because i'm too lazy to change wheels before and after a track day and i don't drive much at all anyway, only on weekends mainly.

ok so I checked the date and they are manufactures in week 50 (December) 2008. If anyone's interested in them drop me an email... no rush to sell, i'll just use them myself if i don't get a reasonable price for them.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
