Hey guys can anyone tell me what the load rating on a S1 Stagea should be?

Just about to head out to buy some new tyres as the tyre walls on the current tyres have collapsed.

Tyres are going on 17" R34 GTT rims but I wouldn't think it makes a difference.

Ok mum's home, going off the placard inside the drivers door.

"The tyres fitted to this vehicle shall have a max load rating not less than 580kg or load index of 89 and a speed catagory not less than H (210km/h)"

Recommended inflation pressure:

front: 200 kPa, (29PSI)

rear 220kPa (32PSI)

previous tyres were higher than this so dunno why they collapsed.

ill get some pics.

I bought some R34 rims for the stag and they came with WANLI tyres with about 80% tread. I think some of the sidewall damage may have already been there before I bought the rims but it definately got worse since we put them on.

"Made in China" and tyres are dangerous combinations for powerful, heavy cars like the Stagea. Chuck them or keep em for a burnout comp. Not something we should ever skimp on. Bought mine with some cheapies onboard, first rain shower I was skating, quality jap tyres fixed that.

I'm pretty sure whatever was put on the car at compliance would have been checked for load rating, and its not like they will kill you just because they are made in China.

Not saying they will kill you, but in an emergency situation I know what i want on my feet.

Chinese products never lie, they are renowned for their quality and truthfullness in their description. Im sure their load rating was rigorously tested. :thumbsup:

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
