I ran 275/40/17" Nitto Drag Radials on a 17x8" rim and they were fine.

I run the 255/50/16" MT ET Streets on a 16x7.5 although a 16x8" (R32 GTR rim etc) or 16x7" rim will be fine too.

If we get enough buyers, ill see what we can get a set for, may not be as cheap as the smaller tyres, but still should be discounted.

Ok guys, got some pricing.

235/60/15 $235.00ea

255/50/16 $250.00ea

275/40/17 $275.00ea

This is depending on the amount we buy, im buying one set of each for the shop so we need at least 7 more buyers. these are as cheap as youll find, these tyres retail usually for $270, $290 & $317ea.

Am going to WSID weather permitting on wednesday night so Mona can try a set for a comparison. Will post results, after that ill be ready to order. Can PM me if interested, and will arrange electronic payment.

i can bring tyres to WSID the following week or pick them up from shop.

Would we be able to get a price on these? and whats the recommended rim width for 275 tyres? will they fit 9" wide rims or will they require bigger?

MT recommended rim width for 275/40/17 is 9".

Ok guys, got some pricing.

235/60/15 $235.00ea

255/50/16 $250.00ea

275/40/17 $275.00ea

I have about 20 X 17" wheels that are suitable, but no 16" wheels wide enough.

So the extra $25 is not an issue, cheaper than buying wheels.

I just have to check the clearances on the 2 cars.

So I will either get a pair of 255/50/16's or 275/40/17's.

:P cheers :)

Cool, pretty sure Adrian (2rismo) has run the 17 under his 33. Ill take all the orders on thursday after the drags, and get them all down.

The 275/40/17's 'just' fit on the bum of my 33 gts. I may have had a very flukey offset though....

SK, you can pick up stock 300ZX rims for about $30ea so to save headaches, I'd get a pair of them and buy the 255/16's with the greater sidewall.

Just a thought.

surely 255 wont fit on stock 6.5" rims, 225s are allready bulging out of the side. Im pretty sure the stock 16" were meant for 205 tyres.

Anyway, Im down for a pair of 275/40/17 if this goes ahead.

Any chance of interstate postage and how much? or do we have to arrange pick up in sydney was it?

I know this is probably not recommended, but are these legal to use on the street?

Yes they are one hundred percent street legal. are a soft compound though, and have decent sidewall, look tough on the street.

Thanks Adrian, I do have set of Stagea 16" wheels, same size as R33GTST. I was thinking more along the lines of R32GTR rims as they are 8".

The taller sidewall is a thought, have you compared the 255/50/16's and the 275/40/17's times? Is there a noticeable difference? It's a width versus sidewall comparison, which gives the best result.

I have a pair of ugly 17 X 9" with a serious 45 mm offset, on those wheels the 275's would have no problems outwards, maybe inwards would be an issue though. That's what I have to measure.

:happy: cheers :P

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
