Gday guys,

i want to enter the HSCC Super Sprint day on the 12th of August, but there is no way in hell i can afford nor justify spending 1k+ on new semi comps that will probably sit in the garage for another 6 months after the event. Im hoping someone has some 17" and/or 18" semi comps lying about that they might consider selling?

Sizes im looking for are 215/45/17 up to 235/45/17 and either 225/40/18 or 235/40/18.

If it's any consolation these WILL be used seriously, i want to get as close as i can to a 60 second lap on the day (pending the arrival of a new radiator :lol:) and i cant do it with street tyres.

Thanks in advance,

Ben

I was given 2 x 235/40/18 (Dunlop D02), and 1 245/40/18 (Bridstone RE54). I ended up getting a full set of 245/40/18. they have over 50% tread left. You can have them if you want, as they were given too me.

Yep i'm in launnie. Unless you have a reliant robin you'll need to find adleast another tyre

Id just want the 235/40/18 Dunlops :P so theres two of those right?

I can come up and collect in the next week if thats ok? Unless you're coming down for the super sprints this Sunday? *crosses fingers* haha!

yep 2 of them. I should be down for the super sprints, so i'll bring em. But if my car isn't finished you can come and get them.

They're not connected to rims, so i don't know how you'll go getting them on a Sunday morning before the sprints.

Ill use them in a few weeks when i go out again with a few mates for private practice :P.

I have some 215/45s for this weekend. Would prefer 235/45/17s but no-one wants to sell any :D.

Ill PM you to grab your number :).

Thanks again.

    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
    • Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
