That you Zubin?? If so, HELLO!!! :)

I had G-grids on my previous car, and I loved them! (but that was a Laser and a whole different story LOL)

If your Falken's are crap, why not try the the G-grids? If they're just sitting there (and if you can't afford 901's) then it can't hurt!!

OK... the reason why i say my Falkens are crap (NOTE not ALL Falken) is because:

a) I understeer 8O in the wet around corners at any moderate speed

B) traction is completely non-existant in the wet. :lol:

c) when giving it some, the transition from 1st to 2nd (in the dry) makes the back step out heaps. And my car is STOCK.

In the past 20,000 k's they dont seem to have worn at all, so i guess thats an ok thing. What pressure do you guys run.... i found that @ approx 36psi (warm) i got better grip than @ 30-32psi.

I will see if i can change to the g-grid II's and see what change there is...

I got a set of FM901s a few weeks ago from Mathews Tyres Chatswood

235/45 17

255/40 17

$1010 plus ~$30 for some super duper balance job....

They are noisier (road rumble) than the pirelli/michelin combo I had on but grip seems pretty good. I had one delaminate at Wakefield when they were 5 days and ~400 km old. It had a groovy beat to it while I limped back to the pits... :lol:

Mathews were not very helpful at first but after some "discussion" they got on to Dunlop and found a place in Goulburn to look after me.

Took the stuffed tyre to Beaurepaires Brookvale and they had a new one for me next day no charge.

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
