Kuhmo KU36's are worth a look as well a fair few people ran them last track day and were quite happy.

Just make sure you lower your tyre pressures down to about 30psi, it took me three sessions to get this right and i was running street tyres. My tyres were overheating and feeling squirmy after three laps. Reduced the psi and was doing 6 laps confortably. Was running Michelin pilots for reference.

Rsr and ku36 both great for buck. At the moment I'm running both. The rsr feels better but will wear faster. Ku still feel good and extra k's is a plus if its used often.

The r1r's that vu mentioned are not worth the extra few hundred each, in most tyre places their the same price as the r888. A great tyre, but not worth the coin

If your happy to shop online the dublop direzza star spec,hankook rs3 and yokohama ad08 are all great prices from tirerack.com

not a fan of KU36's, i found once hot they slowly get shagged.

RSR or toyo R1R i would go i reckon Andy :)

Haven't had that problem myself. And I've done a few track days on my current set of KU's.

R1R's while being quite lovely, aren't worth the asking IMO. May as well get a set of A048's if you're spending that sort of coin.

another vote for KU36 beng great bang for buck :thumbsup:

Yep another +1 here for the KU's

I ran the KU36's on my setup last track day and got the times down to where I realistically wanted to. Just make sure that you run the tire pressure a touch low to start with as they will get some heat into them :D

maybe the driver got better?

Anyway, whats everyone's "got-to-do" list before track day? :)

For me; helmet, tyres

Fit cams, buy and fit injectors, buy and fit 300lph+ fuel pump, roll/flare rear guards, drop subframe to replace diff and subframe bushes, shim diff, fit LS2 truck ignition coils, purchase and fit new clutch, empty and clean tank, sort the brakes out, have new dump/front pipe and intercooler pipes made to suit new turbo, align, fill tank with E85, tune.

Not too much to do...

Once I'm able to work on the thing again, most of that list will be done fairly quickly.

My to do List:

change brake pads (Hawk HT-10's)

Buy Helmet

Oil Change

Might need new tires by then, i've got R1R's they're awesome tyres. very grippy, and pretty reasonable wear (just need to get pressures right otherwise they wear unevenly)

I'll probably go for the Federal RSR's next just for a comparison, i'm not sold on the KU36 because they're a-symetrical and i don't want to have to trow tyres out because of camber wear.

i think one paper RSR's are probably closer to R1R's wear and grip so it'll be interesting to see how they compare.

other than those small things i'm looking at lowering times by driving better, hopefully wipe a few seconds off my previous times. ideally this track day i'd like to go sub 1m25s

Fit slotted front rotors, 850cc injectors, fit fuel system, wheel alignment, fix seat rail from sliding, fit z32 afm, get hard intake pipe made up, mount ls2 truck coils and wire in, clean tank, fill with e85, tune.

I'm in. Just booked annual leave.

Assuming it's ok can I just confirm about timer closer to the day?

Before the day I have a heap of stuff to fit: Shift kit, brakes (rotors, pads, braided lines), coilovers, adjustable toe arms. If I get to it I might also get the eManage fitted and tuned. Also need to fix the undertray at the front >_<

My aim is to get the car up and running again.

Here goes my list:

1) Get the diff working

2) Check the brake pads and possibly repalce it if need be.

3) Replace all the fluids

4) Take time off work.

apart from that no real issues really :D

Anyway, whats everyone's "got-to-do" list before track day? :)

I'll hazard a guess that my to do list is the biggest.. (pardon the crappy phone photos..)

(that thing wrapped in glad wrap soon needs to go in the big empty void in my engine bay) :P

Mines about the same...I still need to finish assembling the engine however. But everything is beginning to come together and should be on the road late Sept/early Oct :)

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
