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.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.
