Hi guys,

I got R34 GTS-T rims on my R33 GTS-T. I am looking for new tyres to handle my power (260rwkw)

Does anyone know they size of the rim? obviously they are 17", but how think are they? are they 8 inch?

Also, what's the thickest tyre I could place on them without compramising crap handling, (Tyre beeing too wide for the wheel)? 235? 245?

Cheers

R34 GT-t, not GTS-t. and i think they're about 7" wide, wouldnt be 8, and depends on what sort of tyre, if you want a big soft drag tyre you could probly go wider than a low profile circuit style tyre, but should be able to get 265's on there without too many dramas (depends on your own standards)

it's more than tyres that provide traction.

and having 235's over 225's will make bees dick of a difference.

with 260rwkw, and foot to the floor in 1st 2 gears will probably end up with a smoke show with any tyre.

your suspension plays a big part in traction.

Tyre width also doesnt matter too much when u have IRS... in the straight line that is.

If u want straight line traction, grab some adjustable camber tops & adjust more positive camber, that way when the car squats, more rubber will surface the ground.

With my R33 whether i had 285's on the rear or stockies, my tyre marks were still motorbike tyre width... this howver improved heaps once i put coilovers in as there wasnt as much squat.

fit some 245/40's on there and a camber kit. you'l be right.

at the end of the day you are running street tyres with big power. so wheelspin is expected

good luck

What's the best 235 45 17 tyre for under 200? I know that they don't make toyo TP-G anymore.

Cheers

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
