Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Yep. They have no side wall and no bag and most of them have seen too many heat cycles too. Good for circuit terribly shite for drag racing. A good set of drag radials picked up .5 of a second in the 60ft. 2 seconds down to 1.5.

The lesson I learned from all this is to use a tyre for what it is built for. If you aren't you are pushing shit up hill.

So what you're saying is that you've back to back tested these particular tyres?

And the results show that drag radials had a higher coefficient of friction than slicks?

I told you the real world result just before. .5 of a second over the 60ft shows a big difference. You can use what ever you want, I never actually gave a shit

What do you mean? Hwp love seeing racing slicks on imports on the street. They love that sort of behaviour. :P

On that note, morning all!

Cost/gain analysis - $50 each and no drag bags slapping into arches/guards and better grip than semis

Morning all

Morning

Morning guys :)

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
