Since ACT rego seem to want to stuff me around, anyone on here able to confirm how much bigger profile tyres I can run vs standard? Ie is my cars came with 205/35 front tyres can I run 235/45 or whatever?

Also what about diameter of tyres?

CeJay, I cannot confirm with the R32, but my rim/tyre combo are engineered and passed through dickson. 235/40 front and 265/35 rear. (Std for R33 I was pretty sure are 205/55 or something like that)

The diameter of the tyre doesn't matter as long as you don't modify the rolling diameter (much). Which is tested with the GPS by the engineer against your speedo.

well ended up giving canberra connect a call and they ended up saying the following.:

Rolling diameter can't go up more than 15mm.

Track can't go up more than 25 mm etc.

Just need to check if my "235/45" profile tyres will be withing 15mm of the standard r32 profiles.

i assume you meant 205/55??

diameter of the tyre depends on the size of the wheel (ie 16 or 17 inch + the side wall of the tyre) the standard r32 wheel is a 16inch.. so are you running your 235/45 on a 16 or a 17 inch wheel?

235/45R16 is 7mm smaller (rolling diameter) than a 205/55R16

however a 235/45R17 is 18.4mm bigger (rolling diameter) than a 205/55R16

This is all assuming that the tyres arent stretched too much over the rims

Track is all to do with the offset of the wheel as compared to stock so i got NFI on that front.. i think stock r32 (non GTR) offset is around +40

why dont you just borrow someones stock wheels to get your car over the pits?

I'm running it on 17 inch rims at this stage I'll probably just be swapping my 235/45 profile tyres onto my 7.5 inch wide 17' ROH rims. Will confirm the tyre placard tonight as i think they were slightly different front to rear. Otherwise I'll get other rims.

japs tend to have different sizes front and rear. my car comes stock with 205/55R16 Front and 225/50R16 on the rear.

im currently running 235/45R18 front and 265/30R18 rear. Strangly enough 265/30R18 is only 17mm bigger than 225/50R16 on paper but it actually comes at about 14mm because the tyre is streched

Chris this is all about the overall diamater of the rim and tyre combination and is best explained by the attached Toyo tyre chart.

The standard Skyline tyre size is 205/55R16 and has a diamater of 634mm and this means that any tyres that are between 619mm and 649mm are legal on your car.

Some common tyre sizes that guys run are:

235/45ZR17 644

255/40ZR17 636

235/40ZR18 644

265/35ZR18 644

The other interesting point is to try and find common sizes that are sold in larger numbers as the unit cost will be lower (eg on my R33GTS-T I run 245/40ZR18 on the front and 265/35ZR18 on the rear and the 265 are about $40 cheaper per tyre).

the 634mm will change depending on the width of the rim and the stretch of the tyre. what is the width of the rim that that measurement was taken from?

well looks like my tyres might just scrape in

r32 runs 205/55 R16s on the front

225/50 R16's on the back

or 631.90 and 631.40

235/45 R17 rims are 643.30 mm rolling diameter

and yeah I've finally got my tyre placard, thanks for the help though

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
