Tyre Roll With Stock Tyres

Hi guys, I've been wondering about how noticeable tyre roll is with the stock rims/tyres on the R33 and how much better it is with 17" rims.

Right now I'm running the stock rims with 225/45R16 (I know, yuck), I've been thiking about either putting some 205/55R16 on there for a while or going straight to the 17" rims. I wanted to know if there'd be a noticeable difference from my current set to the stock tyres. Also, anyone that's upgraded from 16" to 17" rims, how have you found the handling of the tyres changed?

Finally, if anyone has any recommendations for tyres that grip well but sacrifice longevity for lower price I'd love to hear 'em.

Cheers

i went from a 225/50/16 on r32 GTR wheels on my s14 to 235/45/17 on r33 GTR wheels and the difference was huge.

i think this is mainly due to the offset and width of the new wheels.

with the r32 wheels it was a 205mm wide rim with 225mm tyres, whereas the r33 wheels were a 230m wide rim with a 235mm tyre

so there was less tyre movement on the rims. also the lower profile meant less flex.

definently go up to 17's when you can, save for some 8.5 or wider rims (i had 9inch wide all round) and some average 225/45/17 tyres. they will definently be better tha high quality 205/55/16 tyres.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
