several things about temperature measurements:

-temperature probes are superior to infrared as surface temperatures may not be representative, especially excessive cooling on the surface relative to the deeper rubber and outer side of the tyre

-outside should be around 5-8 C lower than inside temperatures

obviously noticing excessive wear patterns etc are also a good indicator of correct camber setup for your track and suspension setup.

Yeah Mark agree with you there.

Sorry i meant that all tyres were consistent with each other and yep different temps from outside, middle to inside.

Im running 35-36 hot in the slicks and it actually takes quite a bit of time to get it right.

Im finding that you have to do 3 laps come back in and drop the pressures, then do another 3-4 laps and check them again, possibly let more air out.

Usually after this you can then leave them and they cool down and heat back up to about 35 without having to come in and check them every time.

We need to run our cars back to back!

would love to runa few laps with you guys. I am a beginner for sure so very interested to here everyones setup experiences.

I was running slightly lower psi, around 31 on tuesday, previously about 35 with the second hand tyres. will aim for around 33 next time I reckon. still managed a pb with the new tyres but will be looking closely at suspension tuning for next round.

also interested to hear what temps everyone is reaching on their slicks. I get big variations on inside/ouside of car on our clockwise tracks up here. might end up running a psi or more on the inner tyres to help get the temps up.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
