Hi all,

I've just got my car back after some major modifications with a healthy 272.9rwkw before 6000 rpm - obviously my crappy 235s have no chance of holding it in 1st or 2nd (barely in 3rd) so I can't get most of my power down.

The search is on for some new rears - to match the fronts i need to go 265/30/19

I was thinking of the Nitto NT05s but they don't come to Aus in this size apparently...

The two others i'm tossing up between are the Pirrelli P Zero Rosso and the Yokohama Advan AD08 - prices for these are around the $600 - $650 mark each (ouch :) )

Anyone have any thoughts?

Cheers.

take a look at the federal 595 RS-R tyres, they are fairly cheap for a decent road legal semi slick.

otherwise check out http://www.tirerack.com/ they deliver internationally, though expect ~$200 for freight and a $30 international money transfer charge when you pay for them, friend just got some 265 17's Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tyres for just over $800 delivered, the cheapest price he could find one tyre for in australia was just under the price for 2 from the USA even with delivery etc.

heaps 2 pick from

the old 3076r made 272kw.. what boost?

old 3076? I assume you aren't meaning the 5 blade one? Mine's a spankin new 6 blade.

272.9rwkw @ 18psi - fairly conservative tune, max power is in before 6000rpm all the way to redline so i could lean on it a bit more.

It looks a bit lazy coming onto boost but it makes the numbers.

I reckon there is more to be had in the mid range with tweaking/checking boost control and wastegate pre-load.

Have you modified your suspension? How much rear camber?

My R33 makes very similar power (allowing variations for dynos) and I have almost no issues getting power to the road with regular road tyres. I have the old SK GB suspension (bilsteins etc) and I have tweaked the settings around to suit me.

good result... was this internal gate?

Also.... I went and got new tyres the day before i started on my 3076r build because I knew how the after effect was going to be...

I have I think nexens (i'll have to check.. cant remember the brand) was 600 all up for 4 new tyres... 235/40/18s...

They hold on pretty well for what they are and cheap to replace! even when i had my car in 2wd they were good.. in awd theres barely any let go...

Yup .82 rear.

The boost does look a little slower than some other graphs - although we mapped it up against an R33 with almost the exact mods on the dyno charts and mine made 30kw more throughout the whole range and almost 70nm more torque throughout until both making the same power at redline - and the 33 was on 21psi. Thinking that's the NEO making the difference.

I might just play around with the gain on the boost controller in small increments and see what I can glean re the boost delivery...

As for traction it is standard suspension with King Springs - thinking of going the pineapples. If i put my foot past 2/3 in 2nd it breaks out everytime around 4.5-5k. But they are pretty average Hancook 235s...

And yes it's internally gated - spent enough $$ without going for external!

I was really only after 240-250ish when i began this whole thing but thought i may as well get the best parts and see where i ended up... I think the 273 could definitely go up but it is a daily driver and i want it to last a number of years so don't want to lean on it too much...

yeh looks the goods, dif comes on slower being internal gated

im running brand new federal 235 40 18s 595 SS on the rear and in 2nd with 290rwkw i dont loose traction and thats tucking rim with G4 coilovers hard as lol.. HRMM

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
