6 months i would think as 4door_sleeper said will be right. And i think as long as its not in a dry hot are unused for more than 12+ months their shouldnt be any drama's putting them back on. I know their is a good that you can put on tyres which will make them grip alot more which would probably work well for these sorts of tyres, however supposedly it makes them so spungy they wear out really quick

Anybody got info on this "stuff" to put on the tyres?

My rears are either old tyres that have been in the sun for too long or just have a ridiculously hard compound. They just refuse to wear out. The traction is hopeless but I cant bring myself to throw out 265 tyres with heaps of tread left.

If its looks like the rubber is showing cracks or just has a dry feel to it just rub some vaseline into it, wipe it off and that should fix it. I havent tried it on car tyres before but it works like a charm on rubber exposed to dry conditions or the sun for ages. Gives it back its flexibility and smooth feel. Just a suggestion, not sure if it would work.

FATGTS-R, Methaline Chloride is about the only thing that will "soften" tyres somewhat but it not recomended that you get it on the side walls as it also tends to breake down the ability of the rubber to bond to the carbon in the tyre. Oh and watch out, Methaline Chloride is pretty toxic stuff so gloves and very well ventilated areas when applying

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • 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.
