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

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
