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

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
