Hey team,

Ok, Im a little confused...

I read somewhere, someone said you should ALWAYS run the same Wheels and Tyre dimensions on ALL 4 CORNERS of a Stagea... I understand the principals of have 4x drive wheels... Subaru etc. and potentially destroying the drive train.

But...

The Stagea's don't run AWD...? I know of several GTR's that run different sizes front and rear?

Whether it be for example; 18x9 fronts and 19x10 rear....

Im' looking at getting a set of wheels but they're 17x8 and 17x9.

Just need some insight before I do something I regret and eventually devours my wallet.. :D

Cheers,

Aerron

Mate 17 x 8 and 17 x 9 SHOULD be ok.

Its the rolling diameter that you want to keep the same, width isnt so much an issue. Remembering it will make doing rotations a bit of a pain every 5,000

Hope this helps.

Ok, So say I was to run 17x8 and 17x9 and wrap them with 235/45's on all 4, even thought the 9's will stretch the 235's slightly, the over all rolling circumference should be very similar.. give or take a little.

Correct?

If you put the same tyres on all four wheels the difference in rolling diameter (especially dynamic) could be enough to upset the attessa. Good on you for being the trail blazer. I have seen 350z wheels that i would like but have not bought because front and rear were an inch different. let us know how you get on!

This was my theory to, i thought with the stretch and then the expansion with speed might affect it. Need a giunea cop.

Cheers for the imput guys :thumbsup:

Well to be safe I'll go back to square 1, either R33 GTR wheels or same dimension wheels...

But out of interest, how is that GTRs can pull of stagered fitment... even different diameters?

I guess abit of math... but even then I sat down and you cant get it perfect... :) they're always give or take 5 - 10mm different in circumference. I knew someone who had a 34 GTR had 18x9 front and 19x10.5 rear... regular time attack attender... never broke nor twisted and trive train gear?

:D

ive been running 17x8 fronts and 17x9 rears for ages now

front are 235/45

rears are 245/40 allowing for the stretch to bring the rolling diameter in line

wen i first got my wheels they had shagged 255/40 and the attesa went ape-shit and would badly shake just below 60kmph and then violently at around 105kmph

went to a tyre shop and worked with them to get the right size diameter wise allowing for stretch

got the tyre changed,now all is well

im about to replace the rears,going to swap the front new tyres to the rear and get new fronts so ill be playing this game again soon...

This is the pain in the arse thing with the attessa system. Even with my stock stagea rims when I first got the car I got new tyres for the front and put the old fronts on the back (as you would normally do), however this caused the attessa system to do the same thing as you mentioned. So I eneded up getting them to put the new ones on the back and the old ones back to the front. Was fine then, so even the tread height difference between new and old tyres of the same size is enough to cause it to have a fit. So now I just get four new tyres, keep rotating them to get as much life out of all four as possible then replace all four again. But I really want to get some descent wheel soon (once suspension is sorted out) and would love to get wider wheels at the back but I'm not going to as I its going to stuff up the way I rotate wheels. So I'm thinking just 33 or 34 wheels.

I have been running 17x8 front 17x9 rear with 235/45 all round for a couple of years now with no problems as far as the attessa system goes. I have had it on Queensland raceway in this form also with no problems. When it comes time to do a rotation it’s a case of a strip and refit.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
