245/30/20 Nexen N3000's.............. dont really know how good they are but i'll soon find out i was told they should be better than the federal 595's i had on there but not as soft as a Yoki or a P-zero.

"Ultra High Performance Driving

  • Directional wide aqua groove design
  • Arrow center rib design-High speed driving performance
  • Shoulder design-Improved cornering stability
  • Aggressive type lateral grooves-Resists hydroplaning
  • W & Y - speed rated
  • UTQG 340AA"

better than federals? lol nexens are as good as nankangs, i had them in the supra for less grip so i could rip serious skids yo

thiis is 3 year ago mate, could be improved now, but thats why I bought them, cheap, hard tire that didnt wear quickly, was perfect for skid pans.. but for everyday drivng they werent to bad, im comparison to pzeros or feds? no where near... imo anyway

I've used 595 SS on the front of my 180sx and found them very average. I used them on the track drifting and suffered understeer all the time. I got a price today for a kumho ku31 in a 245/45-18 for $266, waiting on a price tomorrow for a nexen n6000 in same size out of interest.

i just got some Achilles for my 31

235/45/r17 for $107, apparently not bad at all (this is only on the rear) but apparently popular with the drifters because they have a bit of grip and last pretty well

Yeah Achilles sponsor the Monster/Nismo 350Z in Stadium Drift now.

A few of the guys I've spoken to prefer the Federals, because they get more grip for the steer tyres and last longer. A lot of those cheap tyres last 1-2 runs :domokun:

lol yeah didnt click on the day until i looked up the pic's and realised the tread pattern was different.

BUT it seems these are made in the same factory as the continental tyres

just wish they wouldve told me thats all!!!

  • 2 weeks later...

the new IC is in and ready to go, had to move the trans cooler like i thought and also i made a few mods to the grill and front bar :D

bring on the cruise on sunday!!!!!!

  • 2 weeks later...

my first problem with the car, its intermitantly idleing really high, like 1500rpm in "drive" and 2500 in nuetral.

noticed i had wired the thermo fan up backwards but the car didnt overheat.

as far as i can tell by the boost gauge its still on the correct vacuum at normal idle.

any idea's i need to get this sorted before the starlight charrity cruise on sunday!!!! :(

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
