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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
