Hello there i have a 1990 GTS4

i was wondering what tyre size set up i should have since the attessa the rolling diameter needs to be the same? sorry

yes i tried the search feature but i think its not working for me

do you guys with R32 GTR and GTS4 mind sharing with me your tyre setup for track, streets and twisties please??

originally i was thinking 265 rear and 235 front?? on 18" or am i getting it all wrong??

cheers,

Yes, the ROLLING DIAMETER needs to be the same on ALL FOUR CORNERS. The simplest way to achieve this is to run the SAME SIZE TYRES on the SAME SIZE RIMS on all 4 corners. (Also simplifies evening out tyre wear by swapping F<->R).

I'm going to recommend switching to 17s, because you get a bit more sidewall flex available (you should note F1s run quite a tall profile tyre , especially on the rear)

Can I just ask?

From what I read, you already have the rims.

What size/width/offset are they?

Basically, yes.. you need the same rolling diameter all the way around.

Im running 205/45/16 on an 8 inch rim.

Stretch means less sidewall flex..

sidewall flex is VERY scary through the twisties..

Also, caster (spelling?).. try increasing caster so as the steering wheel straightens up easier during oversteer.

The rest is all up to you.. It depends how you drive. See if you over/under steer and then adjust strut/sway bars and height/damper rates according to what your experiencing, what you like and what you dont like..

It takes a while to get that sweet spot but once you got it.. gosh its awesome!

You can run 235/40/18 on the fronts and 265/35/18 on the rears to get a very close rolling diameter front and rear. Thats what I use on my street rims.

Or else you can just run something like 265/35/18 all round if it'll fit your guards, and if your rim is wide enough.

my rear guards been flared out so i can fit the 265/35 at the back..but i was gonna go 235 for a move linear price range on tyres an slicks.. on a 17" 8" or 9" wide?

like i can afford the 18" tyres no problem but some times its abit difficult trying to find a place that always stocks the 18" and also since i havnt flared out my front guards i dont really want to want to go to the hassle of playin with different sizes

even though Yawn your tyre set up for street sounds pretty decent.

but since 17" are fairly common i might move into that area cause later i want to move into track since i used to do it on my motorbike..

thast why im asking all these noobish questions.

but what offset would be good for a GTS or a GTR. also should i be using a 8 or 9 or even possibly a 7.5" wide rim?

cheers

Smaller width tyres on the front is not good for handling balance in a nose heavy 4wd. Your car has over 60% of its weight on the front tyres and around 40% on the rears. That's why they understeer. Plus it does close to 80% of its braking on the front tyres. Smaller front tyres simply increase the understeer and decrease the braking potential. So why in the hell would you want to have less grip on the front than the rear?

Cheers

    • @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.
