Not so far but to be fair i havent really played with it to check.... They were brand spanking and still had writing on them so let me bed them in and ill check back in!

Actually on that note, i will know by the end of Sunday as its doing the Nulon Nats event :woot:

I'm sure it's the same for most tyres as the ad08r requires about 100km of driving to wear off the top shiny coating before the grippy part comes into play

Oh FFS then i better do some K's before it goes on the trailer this weekend then!

They look pretty bulgey compared to the old 275's i ran... You can see the difference between a 255RSR and a 275 RS3

If anyone wants the other pair of the 275/35/18 let me know... Will sell for what they cost me but i had to buy 4 to get the deal...

Brand new with stickers $512.50 for the pair :laugh:

Freight additional!

There was no magical grip that i was hoping for... 2nd gear is still skidsville BUT it was a road surface so it is not the best indication at this stage!

What tyre pressure and camber? They can affect the grip level as well

Yep, i was running 0 camber but it is now up to around -1.4 or something like that for circuit use.... In saying that i went from a 265 to a 275 in the hope the straight line contact patch would remain similar, but probably not lol

Pressure was about 30 hot so a bit low from a standing start.... But i did warm them up prior -

That's a damn good price for 275 35 18!

I'd only put KU36s back on if Maria and I are having a domestic ;)

Lololol so you cant hear? Brilliant!

Oh and i changed my opinion on the RS3 too once i had them hot on the track, great tyre!

Told ya so Matty! :D

The rears had heaps of corner grip... Straight line had issues but i had it turned down to gate pressure for the run anyway...

After a few hard laps of South circuit the fronts (Federal RSR) would start to understeer yet i still had heaps of rear grip and no signs of it fading!

Its impressed me enough to step up to the next level of Hankook ;)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • 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.
