Hey guys, just need a little help.

I bought my gf some pretty nice looking rims for her 1989 charade ( I'm going to pimp it up for her 21st present )

I got some Gmax wheels in 16 inch which look awsum on the car. unfortunately they need new tyres and the seller didn't know where he got them.

they currently have 205/45/16s on them, but they are a much bigger rolling diameter then her current wheels which will chuck her speedo way out, also, I want some slightly skinner tyres, ie . 205/40/16 because they are rubbing at the back.

The car will need the back guards rolled and new suspension, I just need to find some tyres.

Bob jane are not that helpful and she doesn't need performance, just some cheap rubber to get her around! Please tell me some good places, or if you have these sorts of tyres!

Thanks,

Adam :)

Yokohama make a 215/40x16 in the S.drive model. This is a performance tyre, though. They don't seem to make a similar size in the economy model tyres.

Anyway, have a chat to Andrew at Traction Tyres in Rowville (www.tractiontyres.com.au).

thanks for some of the help guys, but unfortunetly, the tyre can't be any bigger then what it already is... 205/45/16... I was hoping for a thinner tyre.. ie... 205 or 195 /40/16

Jezza I await your call. mine is 0419 110 110 btw :D

Thanks,

Adam

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?

      What Duncan said sounds right. Also, it looks like they only have the driver's mat. Not the rest. Because looking at the diagram: KG4911 is just the mat for the driver. KG4900 is the full set if I'm not mistaken and discontinued.   But, it looks like they may still have the full set for the manual S2. Might be worth checking for the other models as well as they seem slightly different. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/misc/G49 Man, I'm tempted.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
