hey all just got a new set of 17s for my 95 r33 gts25t, just wondering what ppl think about them.

http://s43.photobucket.com/albums/e354/85_gsr_cordz/r33/ pics are there. wheels are avanti force 17x8 with yokohama s1-z 235/45 tyres all round. anyone know how good these tyres are wet and dry? nad how much ppl paid for these tyres if they have them. grip is so much better than the 225/50 16 nexen n2000 that were on the car before.

Each ot ther own man, they dont look ugle but if ur buying and choosing they arent something id go for.

Clean looking skyline by the way! :)

they actually not my first choice but the ones i wanted wouldnt fit the front as the were hitting the caliper, so they measured them up and found that there bigger than standard gts25t calipers, but that said i really like them dont look as good in pics though

Yeah the front calipers can be a bitch, the owner before my current r33 shaved a bit off the front calipers to fit the wheels on . i didnt like the idea of that but whats done is done.

In real life they would look heaps better i bet.

They are by no means ugly man they definently make the car look better!

normally "aussie" spec rims wont fit onto skylines due to hardly any of the locally produced cars having 4 pot fronts. fords, holdens always seem to have twin piston sliding - which makes for very easy caliper clearance.

that said... yokohama make very very good tyres... all my sets up to present have been yokis and i wouldnt touch anything but. (except for maybe semi slicks)

yeah the weird thing was they had fitted a set the wheels i originally wanted on a 94 r33 just before christmas , thats why they were sure they would fit. is the much clearence between the rim and caliper with the standard rim as there was only about 5mil clearance with the stock wheels. i just had a read up of these tyres and there speed rated to 300km/h and are sposed to be one of yokohamas best tyres

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
