shit just got personal, no one calls me a typo and gets away with it, no one...

but but... im ur lover???

i soo gotta change my tire pressure tonight... 45psi rears + 2 way = fun :down:

wat tire pressures should i run on the front (90% dori)?

i have selby/whiteline sway bars... rear set to hard front set to soft.. rear cradel bushes set to 'overall performance'

depends on the tyre and rim, i run around 30 front and rear for drift, people often run higher psi at the rear thinking it will last longer, but it actually delams the tyre quicker. but it comes down to just having to test, go out, have a feel, play around with psi and try again.

17x8 225s stretched

lol, 225's aint a stretch on a 8", with road tyres its gonna flop around a bit, id probably be running around 35psi, but thats just me, i hate the feeling of the front tyres gliding over the road and not grabbing even if it means the sidewalls arent as rigid, saying that i dont run crappy street tyres on the front so i usually dont have that problem. get some decent performance tyres with rigid sidewalls, best of both worlds.

im assuming you are all just running air in your tyres?

i have nitrogen in my tyres, which is not supposed to expand as the tyre gets hotter

so i have my tyres set at 38 when cold (234/45/17)

just for street use.. i find it really good because when ever i check my tyre pressure it never changes.

most tyre shops charge about $5 a tyre to fill them with nitrogen

Nitrogen still expands with heat, let's face it air is ~60% Nitrogen. The big advantage is the lack of humidity, the water (H2O) splits into H and O and that increases the expansion in the tyre. Dehumidified air doesn't expand much more than 100% nitrogen.

Just after some input

I have FEDERAL EVO 595 SS tires on my R33 GTR wheels which are 17 x 9 - I'm running 215/45/R17 tires

I have had both front wheels balanced but it vibrates a fair bit, then I dropped the tire pressure from 34 to 30psi and its quiet a lot better

I realise some of the vibrating issues may be due to the stretch of the tires on the rim but what would be a good pressure to run these wheels at?

  • 6 months later...

I run about 40psi front and rear in my 235/45r17's. But I also do a lot of highway driving.

I find that if you keep an eye on your tyre wear you will be able to tell if the pressures you are running are too high or low. Then you can simply alter it accordingly.

However if its purely grip that you want then all of this probably wont help you lol. I'm just more interested in tyre life as I don't drive like I'm on a race track all the time! :)

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
