is it? I am aware of thinner wheel 45 instead of original size 50. It may be totally offset from orginal tyre but just minor affect on the speed...

I though the original tyres are 215/55-17? if so a 235/50-17 will be the closest overall diameter.

A 235/45-17 tyre will put your speedo and odo out by about 4%

+1 yup wot he said. So when your speedo reads100kph you're actually only travelling at 96.3kph. On the bright side that's in your favour when going thru a multinova and you'll clock up less K's on the odo than you will actually do :thumbsup:

So if speedo reads 100kph and actually travelling at 96.3kph wont that mean that odometer reading of 100km will actually be only 96.3km travelled and hence will clock up 4% more kms than the odometer reads????

FIXED.

but yup you're right sorry my bad..............DOWNSIDE you'll clock up more K's on the odo than you've actually done.

Hey guys just my two cents, i run achilles on my V35 (sedan) 245/35r20, for the price they are they are awesome tyres done 20000 on them daily driving (i drive pretty hard on em too) got at least another 30000 left in them and and they stick like glue and have like no road noise. Also i better mention that we at bridgestone have just launched 2 new tyre ranges the MY01 and the Turanza serenity, but i cant vouch for them personally yet as i havent even seen them yet because we only released them on the 3rd of this month

Hi Guys, I had one of my front tyres punctured (Bridgestone Potenza) and need a new tyre to replace that without having to spend too much. I have been quoted Sumitomo (HTR I think) $220 and Hankook K115 $190 fitted and balanced.

Any thoughts on that anyone?

By law your tyres must be rated to do a sustained speed equal to your car's top speed, regardless of whether that speed is legal or not.

I'd get that stuff right, as cops check that data when considering whether to defect your tyres as roadworthy or not.

What a load of rubbish.

The only legal requirements for tyre fitting are that the speed rating of Australian passenger cars be rated S or better and that the load index of the tyres meet or exceed the manufactures spec found on the tyre placard in the drivers door. There are other rules like tyre cannot ride outside of the body etc but basically if you meet or exceed the placard you are good to go.

FIXED.

but yup you're right sorry my bad..............DOWNSIDE you'll clock up more K's on the odo than you've actually done.

Sorry to hijack the thread but is it possible to get the speedo calibrated that it shows the correct speed?

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
