I still think the Federalies look OK for the money...... BUT you dont do many KM's so the Nitto may be ok too, but you dont want to leave them sitting for too long in storage and go all hard and waste the money.......

My KU36 are crap now due to sitting for 2 years!

Well done mate! You got the one you wanted i assume? (Didnt you have 2 lined up?)

Make sure their security is top notch! (I am sure you are all over that already!) :)

Ant you've had your car for a year and haven't don't 10k on them, get the good ones man. You only drive it for fun.

My Feds are great when there hot but before that there not bad but not heaps good either

ha cheers for the import guys..

i just looked again and pretty much decided to go with the nittos haha... im hopeless.

the nt05 isnt a full track tyre.. the nt05R is the proper semi slick, with the r type compound etc..

the tread wear differences of the two tyres are 200 nt05 and 240 for the federals..

so the nittos would just be a really grippy street tyre, and would still get 10k kms on them i think.. not like the proper semis where i would burn up the rubber on the steet within 2k kms..

so im kinda thinking i should just buy the gripper tyre for more fun on the street?... where the federals will probably just be the same as the falkens i have.. maybe even a little worse?...

i am running NItto invos and they are awesome i ran them down wakie in march and they were really good

Using them daily man? What sort of life they had?

yeah 595 ss, i want rsrs but 1000 bucks >.<

on another note,

i just drove a gtr, was big and yellow and im f**kin getting one next year!!

cant beleive the difference!! uts f**kin epic!!! keep a look out for a 33 gtr boys. low kms, many mods, 20k

will be buying feb/march next year when i got a steady job

Just got back from trying to put my car in storage, massive fail.

The one I had on hold, was taken down as the wrong one (needed on right next to a power point for trickle charging etc) so went in there and now it's gone, and none available next to power etc... Not happy!

Why's it going in storage

Need it lowered, got a bad driveway and live in a unit with a pretty small double garage with 3 cars... Ha

Just want it in storage unit I buy a house etc.. And I'm sick of waiting to lower it, hopefuly they sort it quickly and get me in there.

Might call them up on Monday and tell them to get the person that got the one I thought I had my name down for, to shift to another one!

yeah i'm only joking lol.

See if you can get a nice series 3 r33 or even a LM. I've alway liked them :-). But on series note, take your time to find decent one.

Think I agree with you though, f##k it hey.. May as well.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
