and for something relating back to tyres now...

My tyres are simex 235's also [on my 34] and I have no complaints whatsoever regarding traction...

A friend had Grid II's and lost it in the wet with his r33...

If you must spend heaps of cash then ask the right questions to a tyre dealer. You dont want to spend all that money to find out you didnt get what you wanted - which in this case is clearly "traction in the wet".

Good point.

I would recommend you (well anyone looking at new tyres/wheels) go to Mag Wheel & Tyre on Chiffley Drv in Preston. The guy there will give you a no bullshit, straight up answer to your questions. I went in asking for S02 Bridgestones (255/45/18 @ $600 each) and he told me the Hankook 104s match them in every aspect for $330 each (265/40/18). I dont think he's gonna rip you off.

mm... terrance you whore.

anyway.

i mgot simex 215's on mine...

In the wet my ass steps out VERY easily and i loose traction on take off almost all the time.

That's due to my clutch though.

In the dry. Can't beat them. for 215's (i need 225/245's really) they do a decent job considering i've got some reasonable power. And i've smoked up a few times and drive hard... and the tyres look like new still so they've got a long life it seems

I've had yokohama's on another car and they were good also, very good in the wet but VERY soft and therefore don't last as long as other brands.

they were 539's i think?

Let me know what you decide Daz, as I am thinking of getting tyres too. Tonight i was going 100km along the freeway, when i changed to 3rd and floored it. The wheels slipped and traction control came on and the power just died.

My suspension is brand new so i think it is my tyres but that's almost brand new. Is there anyway my car is boosted without me knowing??? hmmm... as i can never get traction (silly question)

Oh yeah, and i got smoked:P

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
