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

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
