check this vid, mostly fuellers and stuff, but you get to see all the wrap and distortion of the tyres in ultra ultra slow mo, amazing stuff to watch, you never think tyres get out of shape this much until you see a vid like this

I posted that a while ago. Pretty insane! Before this video I thought that when a big slick creased up like that it was 100% driving the car forward but as you can see from the video, the deformed tyres actually spin 'while' they're creased right up.

Thank goodness for beadlocks I guess :)

That's what everyone kept telling me as well - i.e that the MT's didn't need much of a burnout, but in my experience, I find that the MT's initially need 1 or 2 BIG burnout's to really get some heat and grip into them (i.e enough smoke so you can't see anything else in the mirrors :( ) - then a smallish burnout on subsequent run's usually sufficed.

This was in contrast to the BFG's I used to have. I didn't think they needed as much of a burnout as the MT's to get the equivalent amount of heat and grip.

It's interesting to read how people have different experiences with same tyres...I think a lot of the variance probably comes down to track conditions though.

Yep - same here. One biggie in the morning and then little ones for the rest of the day.

Or the difference between 1st/2nd gear burnouts...

    • OK, so all I can suggest is that - if you have all the parts, and you have all the wiring looms, and you have all the electronic modules, then....it really is just a wiring problem. You likely have a damaged wire, pin, etc, somewhere.
    • Yup, bought this bad boy and hopefully it will be ready to pickup today. Had $5 credit on top of it so it worked out really well!
    • Yeah it is really until until you get a feel for it....then it is easy. Which is no use to you really. I'd buy that torque wrench. One thing from sure, many (most?) tyre shots overtighten the f**k out of wheel nuts, so don't worry if they were tighter when you tried to take them off compared to when you do them up. I've had some crazy tight ones come back from shops, quite apart from the potential damage to the thread, I can't see a smaller person taking the wheel off on the side of the road
    • Hey mate, thread dredging hahah To answer you directly, yes I had my itbs oversized and custom butterflies etc made by EFI Hardware in Sydney back around 2017-2018 if memory serves. My setup had a vast amount of other changes too though, so no direct comparisons unfortunately. i went from oem itbs, HPI manifold and internal gate hks 2835 pro S; to 49mm itbs, cnc port matched Nismo plenum, RB25 Neo lower runner adapter hand port matched, r31house v2 Takoashi MAX equal length twin scroll manifold with twin 38mm tial gates and a FP HTA3076 with 1.01ar twin scroll real hosing. feom power Fc to a link fury wired by 12volt, r32 gtr fuel tank conversion with frenchys twin 460 / surge tabk fuel hanger combo kit, 1659cc injectors, full 4 inch turbo back stainless exhaust, Z34 6 speed, Tomei 2way with 4.3 final drive and a ton of other shit. ive posted elsewhere here with complete run down, but here's a graph from its initial tune with no boost control on, 20psi gate springs only and e85.   7542AE72-DA92-4E0B-8660-B0940FEA7F24.mov
    • On sale mate, $55. Sorted. https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/toolpro-toolpro-torque-wrench-1-2-drive/565734.html?utm_content=paidsearch-pmax&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwytS-BhCKARIsAMGJyzqYEnwWmhWf6gxTST_Nz06Gd2VePgyvL7lh6PWrQtbjXTsI6TqSCLEaAuaCEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
