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.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
