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

Bump...if you want i can sell all four, have decided to to change the profile tyre i am running on the front as well...so if you want a set you can have them ... only if they arent sold by the 25th ill be bumping the price up as i think they are too chea[ and i may as well keep them for my attempts at getting rego etc :P

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

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
