hey guys

i need new tyres for my R34 GTR rims... atm its 245x18x40 (9")

i want to get 255's (protects my rims for gutter rash and for a wider look)

but not many brands do 255x18x40

can u guys recommend any?

i want to get more of a mid-end tyres/brands ...dont really want to spend too much on high-ends like s-03 etc

as i have AWD

cheers,

Andy

to maintain rolling diameter, shouldn't i be using the same 40 profile? (stock)

why change to 35's?

40 and 35 are a % of your tyre width, not a set measurement...as your tyre width increases, to maintain overall diameter, the % decreases..

Use this calculator to determine:

Actually...265/35 would be a closer match to your 245/40. Least difference in diameter..

Factory they're 245/40 ZR18 Potenza RE040

I'm currently running Toyo Proxes F1 same profile as above.. but I can't begin to tell you how much better they are than the Potenzas. Gutter rash, yes i've had a little bit of that... *fking drive through and my carelessness*... you might want to look at running just 255's on the rears and not the front though.

thanks for that, calculator is useful :P

gutter rash is pain, esp when u want to squeeze in somewhere

for AWD, i need to run same size for all 4's

Most 34 GTR's you will find run 265/35/18, a 275/35/18 would be a better match, but these tyres are not as common as the 265's.

We have all the sizes mentioned above, brands like toyo, dunlop, yoko..., however i recommend the 275, especially seeing you want a bit of cover for your wheels.

I've sent you a pm on the prices,brands and sizes in 265 and 275 which im sure you will find impossible to beat.

GTR's have to run same all the way around.

265's are too baggy on a 9" wide rim I don't recommend it, you get too much sidewall movement. Don't even bother with 275. Rwd gain a bit of off the line traction with baggyness, but being a GTR you have 4wd so you don't need that, what you would prefer is less movement from the tyre for more responsive handling.

Stick to original 245 or you can go up to 255 if you want. I've run 245,255 and 265 on my 34GTR rims.... so this is from experience.

As for gutter rash, just be extra careful around gutters :(

For a reasonably priced ok performing tyre, have a look at the hankook k104's - they come in 255... probably around 1000-1200 for a set.

I got brand new 2 tyres RE001 Bridgestone adrenalin that i got 2 weeks but sold my rims before i got the delivery so yuo can have them if they fit your rims. They are ultra hi performance 245/45/18. any reasonable offers considered. i bought them for $690 from Bridgestone tyres.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
