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.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
