2 x Bridgestone RE55s 235/40/17s

They could possibly be 45 series, can’t remember. Selling because I now have wider rims and looking to run 255 or 265 rears.

They would be lucky to have done 16 laps at Sandown. 4 sessions of 1 warm up lap, one flying lap, possibly 2, then a cool down lap, so realistically they have probably done 6-8 hard laps in anger.

Tyres were also used for a DECA motorkhana day, which was mostly wet so again, not much wear.

I estimate they are between 80-85%, so plenty of life still in them.

New they were $355 each, asking $550 the pair. ono (were $460 :thumbsup: )

I'd say they're 235/45/17 if they're 235's. Are they a pair (left and right?) PM sent.

I think you are right, 45s as i did have a slight guard clearance issue when going from 40 series Dunlop D01Js to 45 RE55s.

Yes they are a pair, meaning left and right tyres that can be installed on either the front or rear of a car.

Still for sale

Hi Roy,

would you consider a trade for the same size street tyres (235/45/R17) plus small cash adjustment?

i've got a full set of 80% plus tread Bridgestone RE030 Potenza's I could trade ya?

(RE030's are priced over $300 each new)

just thought id ask

cheers

damn i'm after 255's

If its of any help, I had a set of these on my car, don't be fooled by the sizing, 235/45/17 RE55S where wider than a set of street tyres that where 255/40/17!

R series rubber, bridgestones especially, are generally much wider than the numbers would have you believe

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
