running 235/45

possibly i would like to keep the guards factory..

haven't fit the front on as itll definitely scrapes my inner guard.

the rear ones are hitting inner guards

how you mean damaged rims?

Edited by Excess

I ran.. I can't remember if it was 225 or 215. Pretty sure it was 215 all around, slammed to the floor on standard front guards and it was fine

The rears had heaps of clearance but I had the inner lip on the rear guards rolled prior to R33 GTR wheels going on

How different is the offset? I'm running 17x7.5 +40 with 235/45 tyres and no rubbing on the back, 225/45 on the front no rubbing either.

I have been contemplating getting some 33gtr rims but if I can't run at least 235 tyres then I won't bother..

its +30 , you cant run 235 on the front im pretty sure unless you do guards work (which i didnt wanted to at this moment) ..

im gonna run 235 on the rear at least but my guards will be rolled..

any particular reason why you wont bother running anything lower than 235?

Obviously he doesnt like stretching tyres if he is running a 235 on a 7.5inch wide wheel. I have 225 on 8inch and they arent strected at all.

Thats it im rolling the rear guards , as my suspension being bit soft.. so if i roll the rear guards will it guarantee that with 235/45 will not scrape/hit?

i cant guarentee shit, every car is different, but chances are it will.

Car was damaged prior to me purchasing it, lots of damage above and below the waterline. Chassis damage, wheel lips buckled and chaffed, wiring by monkeys with brain removed, rust, graffiti.. you name it, shouldn't have bought it.. Priced up replacements considering they are sold here in aus, not jap rims, $2400 for the set. Might look into getting them repaired.

they will probably scrap eventually, just depends whether ur suspension will compress enough.

just roll ur guard and be done with it, dont know why people even bother with standard gaurds any more.

are you referring to both front and rear? or just rear ?

what rims are we talking here? 32 stockies?

both, i found my 17x9 +30 with 235's just scraped at the rear, never at the front, although i think thats to do with suspension as my 17x9 +16's with 235's never scraped either and they were mexican up front.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
