Anyone know a good place to buy some Michelin (265)/(275)/35/18. Under $650 for a pair or AD08 or something close excluding federals as theyre a nightmare in the rain.

I got a good price online from Ozzy tyres for my Michelin Pilot Supersports and so far I think they're a fantastic tyre.

A 265/35/18 was around $1600 for 4 including sending to Canberra. Wasn't much difference in their price compared to tire rack after you factor shipping, customs and quarantine fees etc.

"How much were they for the set, if you don't mind me asking?"

I did some hunting around in the end Bob Jane at Fyshwick were the best at $1340 all up, as I said I'm very happy with them.

You have the RSR yeah Richard?

I'm running just the standard 595's and I think my camber probably pays a good part in shit traction.

Best thing about them though is that they hold well in the dry and they have lasted me for nearly 2 years!

Im running the RSR dan and i can't fault them. Even in the wet.

Okay folks.

It is going to be an absolute nightmare financially and physically to get the 34 registered in Victoria so I think I am just going to sell it real cheap to someone in the ACT if they want it. We only really need one car here in Melbourne anyway. What do GTT's go for these days?

I do like having fresh breth though.

The issue with rego was that i just wanted it in Vic rego so it would be easier to sell.

I was initially told that if it was an interstate car with current rego i don't need an inspection, i just need an appointment to hand in plates and they would honour my rego. Today i find out that because it was an import never registerd in vic they dont have my compliance plate on record so it will need to be a full rego inspection and ID check, which i would fail because i am in no position to spend money putting my car back to stock just to get it into another state just to make selling it easier.

I will just leave it in ACT rego and sell it cheap enough to sell it quick but still not make a massive loss.

I barely drive it here in melbourne so it's just dead money really...still...it will be sad.

Also selling mine Andy ( can't plug it enuff :P)

Do a search on carsales anywhere from $7k to a very hopefull $25k

Mine sits squarely in the middle ground (also known as the kill zone !)

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
