got some new tyres today 255/40/17 on the rear previously had 245/45/17 ont the rear.

front has 235/45/17 which have been on there for a little while,

since new tyres on the rear my front torque gauge is always up except on decel, slightr accel it goes up a bit,

i tried to match the front to rear outside diameter as close as possible, weird thing is that the tyre combo i have now is closer than it was before,

do 32GTR gauges always read on slight accel?

i have tried disconnecting the battery cuase i thought maybe it needed to be reset.

all help appreciated?

cheers

Jez

Same rolling diameter, or smallest rolling diameter on the front.

With new tyres, with your sizes, your rears have a slightly smaller rolling diameter.

When I replaced my worn fronts with the same size as the rears, even that was enough of a difference in rotating diameter to upset the 4wd, showed as a pulsing torque.

Attatched tyre calculator for anyone interested..

edit. won't let me add the xls file. sorry.

mate your tyre profiles are different fronts 45 and rears 40,

in order for the 4wd system to work properly u must have the same rolling diameter on each wheel

i got tricked by this too.

the 40 and 45 are percentages.

255 rear and 40% of 255 = 102

235 front and 45% of 235 =105.75

245 rear and 45% of 245 =110.25 (old rear tyres, with this it pulsated alot)

its closer than what i had, but i think you guys are right about the fronts need to be smaller.

it doesnt pulsate it is just alot more responsive. it actually feels better out of the corners :D

THANKS EVERYONE

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
