yeah I have never used a front cup slick but I think they are 240 and maybe smaller diameters than the rears some of the guys us on the R35

here is a link to the pdf with info on tyre setup etc

Troy doesn't have any semis in my size, who else is parting with second hand semis? 235 17s I'm after.

Don't really have the spare coin to drop 12-1400 on some new cheap ones.

Fitted 24/64 18s on r34 gtr rims to my track r32 gtst today. Clearance on the inside of the front tyres is very very tight.

The tyres seem to have a slight stretch on the 18x9 rim.

What sort of cold tyre pressure woukd be good. Shoould i up the swaybars f+r?

Cheers

Cheers guys, i think its fair to say these tyres gave been thru many heat cycles and im guessing they will offer less grip than a good semi. Its probably worth noting ive never driven on semis and have only done one track day at QR and am using these tyres because they are cheap to practice on and can handle 5 hot lap sessions.

I think the guards are going to need rolling min. On a side note i think the rims these 24/64-18 tyres come off are 9 inch wide, the '11 car has 9.5s on the front but uses the same tyre.

bump.

so i used slicks for the first time - and even after 6 laps still couldnt get any heat in them.

Ryan (boz22n) and I think they are just too big for my lil POS. (220/45/15)

was quite a challenge trying to keep the car straight on turn in, mid and corner exit! was fun..but not good for times!

So Im thinking - prob no point running these slicks anymore? (dunlops - not 100% sure on model)

Modern dunlops are radial construction , they tend to like a lot of camber.....possibly not available on a standard car, MX5 is it? Whole host of other unknowns from the description. One mate bought several new sets for his historic sedan after he reacquired it - after a long absence - from a certain Melbourne outlet (well known), only to find it drove like it was on a skidpan, turns out, stock was from the same era he last drove too, lol.

Yep, MX5 girly car! :D

Im running -3.5 camber up front and -3 on rear (although it needs an alignment again :D )

hmm...

might chuck these on ebay as I honestly dont see myself using them again - then put money to cams and ecu haha

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
