Hey guys, need some direct answers...

If i have a GTR (doesnt matter which, 32/3/4) most people say have the same wheels (sizes) front and back. Now what if i put wider wheels at the back ? How and in what way will this influence the AWD system ? Is there a limit on how much i can go wider?

What about if i use the same size tyres with different width wheels ?

Any info is appreciated.

With differing widths, you will have problems matching rolling diameters front and rear. That will upset ATTESSA.

Same size tyre on a wider wheel will result in a slightly reduced rolling diameter. That will upset ATTESSA.

This sort of question gets answered incorrectly too often.

You need to match the rolling diameters of the wheels front & back for the ATTESSA system to work correctly. One of the key parameters in the system is measuring wheelspeed (all of them) & comparing them to detect wheelspin. Mismatching front/rear diameters can trick the system into thinking you have wheelspin. The system then clamps the wet clutch (ie the ATTESSA clutch) which because you have mismatched wheel diameters puts undue strain on your drivetrain.

However there is a small tolerance built in so it doesn't have to be millimetre perfect.

But the important thing to note is this:

GT-R's have poor weight distribution & understeer when pushed. If you put wider wheels on the back you will degrade the handling of the car. Which presumably is not something you would set out to do.

With regard to wheels you need to be careful with widths & offsets. Too many people have got this wrong & ended up with useless rims & tyres. Sizes & offsets vary with models.

So, in summary. BAD IDEA. DON'T DO IT.

the GTR is usually rear-wheel drive when standing still or when you drive normally and it only kicks in when you start to push it hard like accelerating out of a corner or when launching. so when your entering the corner, it enters like a RWD but when the throttle is pressed, the front grip gradually comes in and give the AWD advantage. basically the GTR has the advantages of both FR and AWD and only the weight is holding it back.

as for the ATTESSA upset, dont forget that the suspension and tyres are tuned and chosen together from factory to match the ATTESSA's characteristics so changing these two and even the power output will also change how the system behaves but if the tyres you chose are better than factory or if you can tune the suspensions to match the changes, it will still work and you might be able to take advantage of the 4WD system easily.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
