235 on 9" and 225 on 8" i find to be a pretty good combo. im running a 225 on a 8.5" at the front and a 225 on a 9.5" at the rear and i find it pretty good for drift, rear end is very predictable and front doesnt have much stretch which means it grabs the road well and is good for control without being too floppy for the longer corners where the front slides heaps as well.

ok ok....

im getting confused too...

so tis stretch tyre thingy is tis good or bad?

i know stretching the tyre is to prevent it from rubbing on the fender. so will it cause the tyre to worn off unevenly?

izit legal?

grip wise/traction? no point buying good rubber for the grip and traction.

Did you read all the thread?

Just need to ask a question about tyre stretching, and didn't want to make a new thread just to have Nismoid tell me to search :P

I currently have 245 semi slicks lieing around, and 265 rims... I need some drift wheels...

First question is, will that stretch? (i assume it would, but I don't remember the profile of the tyres, they are probably 50s off the top of my head)

And is it even smart trying to drift on semis?

Thanks guys :D

o.....k.........a 265 will fit on a number of different sized rims so find out what it is in inches

For example ive got 235's on a 9.5, and also 265's on a 9.5. But that doesnt make it a 265 rim, it makes it a 9.5rim

A lot of Commodore/Falcons 17" inch rims run 235's so it easy to find still pretty decent tyres at my local tyre fitters to use at pratice days when you can't afford/don't need new tyres.

I wouldn't really call putting 235's on a 9 (what i run) stretching though but i know of others who run 235's on bigger rims because they are so cheap to buy good new tyres unlike 255's etc that can cost quite a bit when a small town tyre centre have to order them in for you.

But that could also be another reason (if it hasnt been metioned) that people stretch them...

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
