I run KU36's but because I don't drive the GTR that much in the rain.

You're better off for a KU31 as a street tyre. KU36's are really designed to be a high performance street which means it will be better in the dry than wet. The KU31 is more all rounder.

Also the NSW club get's federal 959ss and RS-R's for bloody cheap on our member price. You'd probably save the membership fee on a full set with change to spare.

but these are comparable to a semi slick aren't they(but arent a semi slick)Kind of like the ku36...this would mean they need some kind of heat to work the best...

yup ku31s it is. 2x 255's for under $400 delivered....cant really complain.

I put my foot down ever so slightly when at the lights and the rears started to spin on the spot. Camrys and kias where taking a corner way faster then me and most where overtaking.

I've been getting overtaken by granddads in their white Camrys everytime it rain for the past 3 years, my car have Maxxis MA-V1s (came with my cheap china copy wheels) & when taking off from the lights I have to use <20% throttle (last time the back wheels lost traction from taking off I checked my SAFC2 controller & it read 23% throttle peak) otherwise I will get wheel spin every time.

i have those ku31 ecsta's on the pulsar. they are good with lots of tread. now 5 years old and god knows how many k's they still have about 2 mil above the notch and they cant handle water

cant?

not good in the wet?

Lol, my ute dumped on its ass with leaf springs in the back, a locker and shit tyres was the most tail happy vehicle you could imagine in the wet.

Go to a skidpan and learn how to drive it. I could lap deserted roundabouts as long as I wanted.

Also, 40 clicks through a roundabout in pissing down rain is too fast. Drive to the conditions.

Goodyear Eagle F1.......I think these are your friend. Dunno if they still make them but if they do get the real ones, not the ones made in Thailand (you can tell by the shoulder blocks).

question, is this turning left or right on a roundy or just going straight through?

^^as above

also when lowering a car you'll get more wheel spin off the line as there is more neg camber on the rear meaning less tyre to the road. try lowering you tyre pressure to 30 or so for more rear grip

when its raining next i recommend you get out to your local free drivers training area and practice a low speed donut

this is my current camber,bought camber arms to correct this. is my car so excessive as to cause this problem(replacing tyres this weekend)

    • Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant
    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
