Hey All...

I just bought new rims and tyres...

235/40/18 Front

265/35/18 Rear

Falken 326 i think??

I have noticed I have considerably less traction than when i had my stockies on, 225/50/16.

Do the new tyres have a certain amount of distance to be travelled before they start to grip or have i just bought crap tyres??

I was shocked at how easy it as to smoke the new tyres.. with the stock tyres i could just chirp second gear, but now when i slam into second gear i can smoke the rears quite a lot...

P.s i have 183 rwkw.....

i appreciate the advise...

Thanks,

I was afraid of that... i was just supprised that my crap stockies had a noticable amount more traction even after i totally fried them on the figure 8 at the DECA day a couple of weeks ago!!!

P.s i think i saw your car at the Auto Elec a couple of months ago.... Very Nice! I had work done there on my car previously...

Cheers

Yeah, how much did you pay for them out of interest?

yeah my car was at the auto elecs a couple of months ago, so would of been mine :rofl: Thanks

Now you have bought the tyres, probably not much you can do... I'm about to try some hancook 104's, hopefully better than these 326's :(

Dunno about the 235's but know that i paid $250 for the 265's.... I was very close to buying the semi slicks but thought that by the time they warmed up and really started to grip my trip would be over... i was quoted $270 for the semi slicks (Falkens)...

ive been told the Hancooks are pretty good... so good luck.... im starting to think i should have just bought a new pair of 225/50/16's, as was always really suprised at the amout of grip they had.... For stock tyres anyway....

from SydneyKid:

Hi Matt, road tyres take at least 500 k's to "run in". They give off oil and other lubricants used in their manufacture. So they have to heat cycle a number of times to make sure the "slippery stuff" is cooked off. When they are new the more you "smoke em up" the worse the grip gets as buckets loads of lubricants all come out at once. So run them in.

yeah the tyres will get better after a few days....but 326s are really crappy tyres, that's why they are so cheap.....

better options from falken are st215s or even better FK451s. Still under $1500 per set but they actually have grip.

    • 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.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
