yeah I have never used a front cup slick but I think they are 240 and maybe smaller diameters than the rears some of the guys us on the R35

here is a link to the pdf with info on tyre setup etc

Troy doesn't have any semis in my size, who else is parting with second hand semis? 235 17s I'm after.

Don't really have the spare coin to drop 12-1400 on some new cheap ones.

Fitted 24/64 18s on r34 gtr rims to my track r32 gtst today. Clearance on the inside of the front tyres is very very tight.

The tyres seem to have a slight stretch on the 18x9 rim.

What sort of cold tyre pressure woukd be good. Shoould i up the swaybars f+r?

Cheers

Cheers guys, i think its fair to say these tyres gave been thru many heat cycles and im guessing they will offer less grip than a good semi. Its probably worth noting ive never driven on semis and have only done one track day at QR and am using these tyres because they are cheap to practice on and can handle 5 hot lap sessions.

I think the guards are going to need rolling min. On a side note i think the rims these 24/64-18 tyres come off are 9 inch wide, the '11 car has 9.5s on the front but uses the same tyre.

bump.

so i used slicks for the first time - and even after 6 laps still couldnt get any heat in them.

Ryan (boz22n) and I think they are just too big for my lil POS. (220/45/15)

was quite a challenge trying to keep the car straight on turn in, mid and corner exit! was fun..but not good for times!

So Im thinking - prob no point running these slicks anymore? (dunlops - not 100% sure on model)

Modern dunlops are radial construction , they tend to like a lot of camber.....possibly not available on a standard car, MX5 is it? Whole host of other unknowns from the description. One mate bought several new sets for his historic sedan after he reacquired it - after a long absence - from a certain Melbourne outlet (well known), only to find it drove like it was on a skidpan, turns out, stock was from the same era he last drove too, lol.

Yep, MX5 girly car! :D

Im running -3.5 camber up front and -3 on rear (although it needs an alignment again :D )

hmm...

might chuck these on ebay as I honestly dont see myself using them again - then put money to cams and ecu haha

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
