g'day.

Im looking at getting Bridgestone Adrenaline RE001s to fit on my R34 GTR rims (fitted on my R32 GTR).

What size do you guys recommend for these rims? Is it better to go more narrow for the fronts or keep them all the same widths?.

R34 gtr rims are 18" x 9".

The car will be predominately street use with the occassional track day.

Hey mate, I had the same rims on the same car, i put on bridgstone potenza SO-3's. they were 255/35/18's. they were a very very good tyre and didnt scrub at all.. hope this helps..

Thanks guys for your replies. I think i will take heed on the 255/35/18 on all corners. I am now looking at importing some Bridgestone RE-01R's from Tirerack.com. I heard they are pretty damn sticky and are a good compromise for street and a little bit of track work. Used to have Yoko Advans but didn't rate them much. If i cant get my hands on the RE-01rs, i may consider Federal 595 RS-R or Toyo T1-Rs. Its all too confusing, too many options and opinions out there. :wave:

Those rims came standard with 245's... which fit well... 255's will fit ok too, touch more baggy.

i have 255 michelins on my 34s and they're actually slightly stretched.

given that manufacturers widths vary between brands, a 245 or 255 road would be fine.

I've seen some 265 road tyre fitments on 34 wheels where the sidewalls are straight up - not baggy

245s are the way to go on 9inch wide rims in my opinion. depends on the tyre of course too. I've tried 235, 245 and 255 on 9 inch wide rims. all are ok (though the 235s have always been semi slicks which are about the same width as a 255 road tyre).

so to recap, go for the 245s all round. either 40 or 45 profile.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
