Drift Tire Testing! (900hp S15, 500hp S13, 280hp 350Z)

The session with Tommy's car was filled with excitement and adventure. As I approached the track, I could feel the energy building up inside me. The plan was to push the limits of this beast, but there were some concerns about its performance. We had been struggling with the blow by issue, which made it difficult to get a smooth power delivery.

To tackle this problem, we decided to focus on finding the right tires for the job. We started with the Land Sales 200 shred, but unfortunately, they didn't quite meet our expectations. They were grippy, but not as good as we had hoped for. In fact, they only lasted for about two runs before starting to wear out too much.

Next, we tried the Kenda Nova 240 treadwear, which promised even more grip and durability than its predecessor. While it didn't blow us away at first, it eventually won us over with its impressive performance. The Super Sport tires held up incredibly well, and we were impressed by their ability to handle even the most demanding track conditions.

As we continued to test these new tires, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement about the potential they held. With the right tires, this car could become an unstoppable force on the track. We also had some technical issues with the car itself, including a faulty coolant sensor that was causing some unusual readings.

Despite these setbacks, we were determined to make the most of our time on the track. We took turns driving each other's cars and pushing them to their limits. The JZX car in particular proved to be a thrill ride, with its drifting capabilities and responsive handling. I even got to take it for a spin, but unfortunately, I didn't manage to get any footage of my adventures.

As the day drew to a close, we reflected on what we had learned from our session. The tires that held up best were clearly the Super Sport ones, with their 240 treadwear rating proving to be a game-changer. We also realized that the car needed some fine-tuning to eliminate the blow by issue and make it even more responsive.

One of the most promising developments was the potential for nitrous boost. With the right injection system in place, we could potentially take this car to even greater heights. By retuning the injectors and making a few other adjustments, we might be able to shave off some precious time from our lap times.

Overall, it had been an incredible day on the track, filled with thrills, spills, and plenty of learning opportunities. We were all exhilarated by the experience, and we couldn't wait to come back and do it again.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enI did a today I was telling you about we're bringing all the cards to the track or in testing those new tires what just because I have a tire machine you come and hang out now come on always always just using your friends for benefits oh do not even mount in your own tires sorry I can't hear you I can't I can't hear you over my loud my loud six-cylinder so I guess you've been driving that's right 14 yep Taylor driving through the VZ Tommy I think Tommy Pat might do a couple apps in a 13 I'm a drive that's 15 I'll project that's 13 to Tommy's bringing as jzx 9 you might drive that a little bit so you know what else is gonna be sick you moving back oh I know right are you gonna yeah sick I can't wait yeah it's gonna be annoying because I don't like you but it'll be fun yeah but you'll get to see me more yeah yeah yeah for sure I need that yeah you'll notice I have one of the old bumpers on the s13 today it's because I want to get the new one that I have clear wrapped and protected because they get chipped up really really easily from using about the track this one actually isn't too bad because this one actually got fresh paint this one's not fitted right so the first tire that we're gonna be trying I actually have mounted on the S 15 wheels which conveniently enough kind of matched wheels the last 13 so these are land sale 200 tread wear tires give me the details so I can accurately not sound like an idiot the land sell apex King that 200 tread where knowing the land sale tire brand I know that they can be pretty sticky and they're gonna be a high quality semi-slick so a bit higher quality than the Zack Nova but also a little pricier but this is the first of the tires that occur in the US right now there's only 12 in the US and these are them okay so the the main idea behind these is since I've been used to driving my car and 200 tread warily knows it'll probably be the closest to compared to that since I haven't been driving a bunch of different tires today so we're gonna put these on see when you lapse they last and see how that certein feels on them so before I go and check it in I'm just gonna warm up the tires a little bit get some heat in them just I can feel about how they're gonna respond seems like a decent bit of grip I'd say I want to go chuck it in and just go straight off the track if I didn't know how they're gonna respond so we shall see now just so you guys know I'm not sponsored by second OVA or Lancel or anything they literally just hit me up they're like hey we'll run down the track for you guys higher than that so the lack of smoke leads me to believe that these will probably last a while compared to the valley knows I don't think they necessarily had more grip it's hard to say I'll have to do another lap and then I can really know a little bit better and you gotta remember there's a lot of different variables with the tires and stuff so we're not comparing two tires in the same price at the same depth they're all gonna last differently and have different pros and cons but the idea is no one's really driven on these tires so hopefully to help a little bit I've got them aired down a bit more now so they were at like 20 hot and other down to 15 hot to see how they react to a lower temperature we'll try following Taylor I still say they're good definitely creepier than a Kenda but they definitely don't smoke and they definitely don't have as much side by as the valley knows do that's for sure I'm gonna try to change this layout though cuz it's just it's a little too tight for tandem I think it's a good accurate representation of how to compare tired I'm doing some shakedown the ness15 now and let's get bad without second over 140 shred where's what am I going I think if I begin to rain no the rain good time it does my windshield wipers yeah yes so these tires are really good for they almost have too much grip we're running about 25 psi yeah the 240sx killers maybe a little bit much at 25 psi for the Z's because like if we're not full throttle there they have a lot of grip and they still have so much Brenda wait but from this stop though like patchy it's really really really good like I thought I was going to the boats one of those times so much like a madman right now this news faster my team did with those other tires right I don't know why I said a lot of different probably more just a little more angle Oh been hot laughing these things for a while and they are slightly try to talk so there's that yeah so these are the ones that Taylor was on these are the sec Nova 240 tread wears that had probably twice the grip of the Kenda in the rain I got a lodging outlet he's being rude while we're trying to talk yeah there you go that was good I got chills watching that one so long as I remember to put those clips of all my fab run ups what was happening um I was getting kind of nervous because it wasn't feeling like it was clicking in the 4th and even I was yanking it hard I think what it was is when I would actually go up to rev limiter in third it would unload the transmission slightly so I wouldn't get that nice like dog box clunk and it felt kind of soft so I was getting a little bit hesitant that I was actually in gear not so I didn't want to throw it in towards a wall but the last one I was just like you know what I don't really have anything to live for so I might as well Sunday best news the day I needed this pulled out Tommy pull out Tommy about I never tell me pull out you know Tommy's children throwing around showmen when your child's yes actually so before we would we would have probably what and this would have been filled up like three times already yeah so with the new covers that tie in made that actually a baffling this is two like sets of runs worth and like that's not even close to full so that's really good because before I'd like I'd know it was time to shut off and I'd start dripping all over my feet so that's good okay so what tires were those go through the rs6 all six are 140 tread wear what are those yeah so if you guys know these things made a lot of smoke they have these little smoke icons right there that's what did it so no that was a ton of grip though I gotta check it harder so these 140 tread wears I will say I think they're grippier than the boletos but I think I got about one less run out of them because we were getting like three runs out of the Glee notes right Tommy yeah yeah so we would get about three three and a half relatively knows these are more like two but definitely a lot more grip but in like a competition format I don't think that that third run we'd really even be doing it that we knows anyway it'd be just two runs right yep two runs so it's kind of irrelevant but a lot of girl all right so here's the overall consensus will stand in the shade because the Sun is kind of brutal we tried three different tires today we had the land sales that were the 200 shred where the like Nova 240 treadwear 140 tread wear all minutes up to you hungry 40 try round that 15 grip more than the 200 tread where it really knows which makes sense got about one and a half less laps on it overall happy to the tire wasn't that impressed with the 200 tread wear land sale I think I thought that that one was gonna be the one that I liked the most was it looked it was some wonderfully no but it wasn't and then on the Z we found that the 240 tread where Zac Nova actually like wood blew away the Kenda and I think that it actually has more grip than the 200 tread where land sale so I was running that on my 240 and it seemed like it lasted a bit longer to does that kind of line up with what you expected and yes no yeah absolutely well the land sell is the first test ever we've got some feedback on the Super Sport which is the 240 tread wear and it was really good 140 trailer is the first time we test so I need feedbacks good feedback yeah so no overall though I really appreciate you guys coming out and giving us tires to test and letting all my friends join in and run the track out for us so yeah it was really cool and that's it so thank you overall I would say the sessions a success we got some good data for there the canova dudes 240 held up really really well no real complaints there's a couple things actually like a sensors loose for my coolant so I was like wiggling around a little bit and like causing kind of a weird reading other than that the car super dialed they'll super good on power stay cool I love that car I feel like I can drive that car better than any of my other cars I just feel the most at home in it that's 15 really really great news that we don't have the blow by issue anymore so now we can simply start playing with nitrous and retune with bigger injector so the next time we come back hopefully it'll be a little bit less laggy I was actually struggling with the hearing that between third and fourth fourth would be a little bit boggy if I didn't bounce off rev limiter and third so hopefully with the nitrous it'll kind of help so I can short shift a little bit and hopefully not be spinning as much but overall we had a great time everybody took turns around the Z time you got to drive as jzx I wish I got some footage of it but he drifted around a bit we even did some tanum and got a lot of cool media out of this so it was really good time love me when you say nobody knowsI did a today I was telling you about we're bringing all the cards to the track or in testing those new tires what just because I have a tire machine you come and hang out now come on always always just using your friends for benefits oh do not even mount in your own tires sorry I can't hear you I can't I can't hear
