Hi All,

What compound Re55s have you used? I am about to order a set for the GTR to hopefully last the QR Timeattack season. I assume Hard is the go? ANy experiences with different compounds would be great to hear?

Any help appreciated.

Michael

TT = Medium Soft

WT = Soft

SR = Hard

try for SR2 if you can. though I've hardly ever seen them here. :) otherwise SR is fine.

good to see you back in a GTR big boy. now get down here, it's only been about 5 years since I've seen your pretty face!

lol

damn didnt know thre was SR2. thats the newer technology compound is it?

anyway, ordered a set today through http://www.amecautocare.com.au Good Price. :rolleyes:

i havent been able to find cheaper re55s in brisbane than amec either.

i didn't say I had never seen them. I said I hardly ever see them. haven't bought a new set of tyres for a while now, but for a long time after SR2 was available OS they were still selling SR here. I guess things have changed now which is good, but I mentioned is as no one else did. :)

why is there a huge difference between prices within the same rim size?

16 inch tyres

205/55/R16 $329

205/50/R16 $400.50

225/50/R16 $280

225/45/R16 $400

especially the last 2? typo?

Some are used as a control tyre in certain race catagories and hence the volumes sold are high - which consequently brings prices down. I know all the EVO guys were gutted because Bridgestone recently lost the rights to one of these control tyres so their prices all got jacked up heaps.

    • I'll get one of these also just for giggles
    • I bought 6 new spark plugs to compare readings. They will be here tomorrow and ill see if meter is far off if it all. I know one is at least reading 0 so its best replace all anyway if one is bad, from experience. I still have to test the harness just to be sure its not a double issue and I waste my time haha-the old plugs are iridium I always thought those lasted more than 50,000 km.
    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
