Having never done one of these events before, I wanted to know how much tyre wear you get?

feather the fronts and strip the rears? is grip really from good quality tyres more important that ruining a set of new street tyres.

I will ruin a set if I have to otherwise the sliding set will go on :ninja:

cheers

I think a few people will agree that one of the best ways to go about this is to have grip on the fronts (semis) and wide whatevers on the back...

So who is going down the night before and what not? What is everyones plans?

Nic,

Grip :ninja:

maximum grip - unless you want to get some wicked angles on the pan for the camera's!

Ive used my semis at DECA (same event) and got a bit of wear out of them, but traction was good.

Doof - accomo night before for me!

Well since I lost my lock nut key thingy on the weekend I'll be running on newish streeters. I expect they will still be fine to drive on afterwards even with some sideways action. I think the key is that unlike a track day, you are not out there for long enough on each run to overheat the tyres which is when most of the wear occurs.

I'm pretty sure Steve knows you guys have paid :)

Thanks

oh and it wasn't the paid bit... I was providing Mr LadyBytes SAU nic (Tuk Tuk) so he can use his own ID rather than being Mr Ladybytes LOL

You shouldn't get that much tire wear at all - assuming you are trying to drive well - as opposed to drifting the course which might be fun but is much slower. You should also remember that each run will only last 2 minutes max and probably much less. You'll spend less time "racing" than one session in an average track day. In most cases the tires won't heat up and get sticky the way the would after a few laps on the track. Most people who race these types of event run tires specifically design to warm up very quickly - more so than the average semi.

I've run street tires (Federal 595s) at both DECAs and don't think the disadvantage to semis was anything like on a real track. If you're uber good you might notice the difference. On the skid pan you'll find out quickly it is all about driving skill.

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!

      I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
