Traction do the AD08's in 255/40 R17 for $380ea. The RS3's are cheaper from RTR, but not by a whole lot, not sure they will last as long as the AD08's is the main thing. If they are 1-2 seconds quicker and last less, it maybe worth it. Maybe.

12-13 Track days and counting now on the AD08's, times are still coming down as the power and aero goes on.

Just for comparison, 1.50.x was my time at PI 3-4 events in a row with AD08's.

Drop a wing on the back, came down to a single 49 that next event.

Drop 40kw into the car, came down to consistent 49's lap after lap each session (then rain).

Drop an extra 30kw into the car, have to see on the 21st.

Where did 70kw come from....850cc, E85, Z32.

ARTZ the helmet needs the Aus Standards sticker, doesn't matter what type. It's in the sup regs on the rex entry page.

Thats good. The Advan stuff seems to be sooo pricey though. Would also be keen to see how the Dunlops Snowy just suggested go; considering their victory in SL clubsprint class. They must be decent!

Whats a set of ADs worth? GTR specs

Hankooks - not Dunlops. And they MUST be fast because they have little flames in the tread. :)

I want to buy locally, but not when I can import and even with shipping charges I can still get a free tyre. ie only pay 75% the local cost. I don't understand why their pricing structure is so much higher then OS agents :(

Looks to be shaping up for a big one - was hoping to be ready for this but no such luck.

Those R-S3's are looking good have added to the shortlist for the evo next. PS3's with their rolly polly sidewalls are no fun on the track.

Are WRX people usually this slow?

oops apologies in order...I was looking in the wrong email folder..they had replied to me already..dont I feel silly. :blush:

On a brighter note I'm in,

aIso picked up some S/h semis cause I really wasnt keen on the idea of nankangs in the wet...I've tried it and I cant get it over 4000rpm in any gear at any speed

repco have fire extinguishers on special for 19$ ...

all I need now is a helmet which I will get next week and i think thats about it yeah...

Might throw my hicas lock bar in if I get a chance too, still wobbly wheeling :D

can anyone learn me on helmets, went to the moto shop and they have cheapie open face jobs for 69$..is it worth spending any more on a brand name or something..I tried a few and they are definately a little more comfortable...is there a better place to shop?

rjays open face was 140$ dropped from about 200$..had a cool skull on it too .

I just dont know if certain brands are any better than others..I know shoeis are tops but at 600$ i dont think so...

most of the cheap stuff was msc or rjays...

I know 2 people that busted there heads up in bike accidents wearing cheapo helmets...both got well over 1/4 million$$ payouts...they were lucky

so, whos running a screamer :whistling:

I have both open and a 200+ close face and the cheap $60 open face is more comfortable and if your with an instructor is easier to hear each other. This isn't targa tassy its PI man up ffs!! Haha

I run a motobike open face, but it is a shoei so decent quality, has great cut outs for glasses built in it.

And was the most comfortable I tried on which to me was the most important.

      S15 Spec R

      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!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      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.
