Re the tyres, when were they purchased? How long have they been on the rims? How long since they're been driven on?

Thanks.

Tread is plenty as can be seen in the pics.

My car came from Japan with the wheels and tyres on it ~6 months ago so I have no idea how long the tyres have been on the wheels. The wheels and tyres have been off my car for the last 2 months as I bought 19s.

Thanks. I bought a mint set of R34 GTR rims with RE01 rubber, which on very close inspection had cracks all through them (I bought them in the dark!! My bad. Still, got them for less than $2k) as they was so old (I think they were the OEM tyres). Can you comment on how the rubber looks and feels. The above were 'hard' and I'd suggest well past it.

Thanks.

^^^ I wonder how those RE01Rs were stored?

I've just now replaced my OEM RE01R Potenzas after the car had done 29000Km and they had no cracks. Such a grippy tyre and...

very very expensive.

Bakes' price is extremely reasonable with that sort of rubber on it - and plenty of it.

When you say oem RE01R, which car do you mean came out with those tyres from factory? I'm pretty certain gt-r's didnt come with those tyres from new. I think it was G3's or something similar. I know at least it was a Potenza range.

does it take much to fit these upto a 32, are they the same offset?

They fit straight on, the offset looks better on the 32 than it does on the 34! go a 255/35/18!

Yeah, 32 GTR. I'd bet they're a struggle on a GTST. Ideal offset for the 32 GTR is +20, so you do need the extra tyre width to make em sit flush(ish). I've got 245 R Specs on mine which'll do the same job. Or spacers, which I've not researched and am not convinced about.

They will fit easy on an R32 GTST with 235/40 tyres, if you want to run 245 then best to roll the inner lip on the rear guards. If your putting it on an R32 GTR then yes easy fit, sometimes the wheels get a bit lost in the guards though..

^^^^^really?? didn't know 9" on front with +30 offset would fit on front of a 32 gtst? would they rub or scrape on anything when at full lock without any mods though?

Plenty of people run a 9" with a + 30 offset up front, R33 GTR wheels are 17 x 9 + 30! Depends on how low you go, if you go really low you will need to remove guard lining, don't go too big with tyres as well, 245 MAX but I would recommend 235 for a neat fit

PM me if you want some more details, thread will go off topic otherwise

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
