They haven't seen any track days :) hardly even been driven on.. I sold the wheels i was using these for so no longer need them, i would keep them for my track car te37's but that build is not likely to be finished until end of the year now so I'd rather sell and use the cash now.

Pics attached... like i said they are practically new, still have the little rubber things on them :laugh: Price is firm at $1700.

How does the date (of manufacture I suppose) affect the useability of the tyres? Do the tyres go off?

I am thinking of using semi tyres for my daily. Is that a good idea? especially taking into account my car only gets driven once a week maybe.

BTW, good price, as I got quoted $540 per tyre from Traction tyres.

Matt,

I would personally not use semi comps for a street/daily driven car. They're noisy, pick up all loose stones and blasts them into your inner guards, annoying to say the least. Also you won't get the mileage out of them compared to a competent street tyre. I'd say go for some RE11's or AD08's, reasonable grip and very quiet...

Sorry for the hijack, good luck with the sale....

If any tyre is left exposed to the weather over time they can harden and will no longer be safely usable. With semi's, you lose the benefit of the high grip levels. I will check the date when I get a chance to go to the workshop next week, but I know they are still good :) so i don't mind either way, if they don't sell I will be keeping them to use myself.

Matt - they wouldn't last long if you do a lot of street driving on them, but if you want plenty grip and only drive it one or 2 days a week then could be an option. Of course you have to accept the tyre noise and stones flicking up, tram lining etc.

I'm driving my daily around on RE55's but that's because i'm too lazy to change wheels before and after a track day and i don't drive much at all anyway, only on weekends mainly.

ok so I checked the date and they are manufactures in week 50 (December) 2008. If anyone's interested in them drop me an email... no rush to sell, i'll just use them myself if i don't get a reasonable price for them.

      Engine Issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.

      Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that).

      Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point

      Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
