Hi just wondering if 265 wide tyres in 35 series would be too wide for 9 inch wide rims ? I have been running 255's in 35 series but id like to get some KU36's and they dont make that size.

Is it going to cause me problems?

I use the car mainly on the street but also for hill climbs, motor khanas and drags etc.

Thanks

Tim.

265 should be fine... mine are 285 and the side doesnt look too good, the wear that is. 18x9.5"

But you have a 33 - dont they have a bit more space than 32s?

Also, you really want to check the tread width. The 265 number only gives you an approximate idea of the tread width, some 265s are fatter than others and often street/track crossover tyres like the KU36 are on the wide side. Also, offset, ride height and alignment will affect what you can fit.... so its complicated.

FWIW i'm running 255 RT-615s with 350/340mm fr/rr height and 2/1.25 degrees neg camber and have no problems with clearance at the front, and just a tiny bit at the back which was addressed with guard rolling. Sorry not sure what the offset is.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
