They are more luxury performance tyres, like the Continentals, where they will perform well in dry and wet but you also get less road noise than cheaper tyres.

and if I remember correctly he whinged like a bitch about road noise for like a year

121 mph trap speed @ circa 1550 kg inc fat-ass driver.

your move...

it's common knowledge that heathcote speed trap isn't accurate, mine was a few mph higher than all the other tuned 5.0s too 

your move :P 

edit: it's true, NT05s were noisey af

Which is why I always maintain it being undervalued

That oil price will inevitably be sky high again one day as the finite resource diminishes and even unconventional plays become worth a truckload. The market hasn't factored this in yet, hence minor OPEC shit gives a small push. If the rest of the world is banking on renewable energy offering an oil solution and you hedge against it...correctly...you'll be winning.

370 sets would take a while to get through

INVO's are probably better street tyres for your power level though - will last like 5 times as long too

I did still have the skyline when I bought them

glad i didn't get a chance to fit them and gift the new owner a fresh set

Not for a few more years at least. The OPEC announcement won't change a whole lot it just restored some confidence that something can be done to hopefully limit the Saudis and Russians trying to undercut the Americans. I think the Saudis are in trouble soon...
But this unconventional thing is a double edged sword. The more that is found and is profitable, the less finite the resource is. So looking 5 years down the track, I don't think itll get back to $100 a barrel. Everyone involved is looking to retire before then.
As for undervalued... Otto energy is exploring in 3 different locations, their great bear section of Alaska is next door to 88e and is further ahead in exploration but worth 4.5cents still. Due for some results in dec-jan. If it's not amazing news 88e will take a big hit.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
