i POPPED MY TIRE.

and its so bs.....some c**t left a massive rock (and i mean massive) behind a curve as i was turning (u so could not see dat shit) and bang...my tire pops. tired to put my spare tire on but the thing was bolted down like no tm (proberly with a gun) so i had no chance with the jack and tools to get it off. had to tow it away for 320 bux.

now its sittin at home with half the tire fallen off.

guys wat do i do.....i no i need a new tire but how much does that stuff cost? i dont want some dodgy tire i want the original ones if i can.

own a fully stock R34 17"

i no its just a flat tire but ffs its exspensive

dunno if i'd be keen to replace it with exactly the same thing if it's prone to "pop" the first time you run over something...

now might also be a good time to go all the way around the car and check if the rest of the wheel nuts to see ify ou can budge them to save the same thing happening again.

dude if you hit any Massive rock there is a good chance you will scrwe your tyre it wont matter what you have... also i would be checking you have not cracked you rim...

one other thing i dont understand why you must have all 4 same tyres ??? it's not going to make you uncool like anyone will even care or be able to see when you are driving past them at 80kms an hour :)

one last thing the tyres on them no would not be "nissan factory items" your would be 7 or 8 years old and would have been replaced a couple of times within this time. probably also at compliance so ring around a few shops and see if they have the same ones you have.

i hope you were trying to undo the nuts whilst the car was still on the ground. you need to loosen the nuts whilst it's on the ground. then jack it up and take them off. otherwise you've got no chance.

Lol dude think you a little lost..

Check your tyre (the rubber) sidewall and see which brand it is.. Its not that hard..

Then go a tyre shop and ask them if they sell the same brand..

Thats all to it..

You dont have to take your whole car there..

Take the poped tyre with the rim, and they will do the rest for you..

Then come back home, and fit it on..

320 bux for a tow? Ouch, was it from Melbourne to Geelong? lol.

And you should of been able to get those bolts off, even if they are done properly with a gun, assuming the threads on the studs weren't stuffed.

Ya reckon?

I live not too far from a tip, and theres shite all over the roads all the time... I've hit all sorts of things at all types of speeds, ranging from rocks, bricks, lumps of wood, chunks of metal, branches, small animals, fallen road signs, and pot holes big enough that the council could charge entry as a swimming pool if they filled it with water.... from my experiences the wheel itself is more likely to cop damage before the tyre, but I'll just put it down to luck that I haven't had damage to either thus far.

Having the correct tyre pressure may also have something to do with this... not many people seem to care about correct tyre pressures any more.

lol i am really surprised then oh well i guess they are built tough which is good because i have a set of 34 rims on my car... though i am yet to hit anything like what you have listed below :D

Compared to the cost of owning an R34 the cost of one tyre is negligable.

Take your wheel off and take it to Bob Jane and tell them what you want, I'm sure they could organise it for you. It's a good idea to keep the same tyres on the same axle as each tyre will have different characteristics and grip levels

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      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.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
