as far as the rim width goes you will get away with it if you run the same sized tired on front and backs to keep the ATTESA happy

just to clarify, he's get away with the same sized tire in this instance as there is only half an inch difference in rim width but the rule of thumb for attessa is same overall rolling diameter

should be apples, there are stacks of tyre size and rolling diameter calculators on the net that you can use - check to see that the rolling diameter front to rear is the same and you won't have the attessa kicking up a fuss.

it's generally just easier to run same wheel and tyre specs front to rear, which is why most people do it, but there is nothing saying you have to

225 and 235, different sizes so different rolling heights. i wouldn't want any more than about 3mm difference in rolling height front to back on my car and the difference between a 225 and 235 will be bigger than that

dave, don't forget his rear wheels are half inch wider. i'd think it would be ok (without checking, which i have recommended he does himself) but i'll admit you'll know more about tyres than i ever will :P

it also gets tricky if they are different tyre brands as there can be quite a variation in the way tyres bead up even though they say they are the same sizes

been told by a mech, who had someone come in with different size rubbers.

he said at 80-100ks it would start to vibrate and almose feel like the back wheels are trying to overtake the front wheels.

so not a wise thing to do with the AWD system, it was on a series one stagea too.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
