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"

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
