Hi everyone, Just a little confused at the moment. I want to know what the biggest tyre size is that can be used with the stock R33 GTR wheels. I believe the stock rims are 9" wide and I've heard mixed response from people, some say you can fit any size!!!

Basically, I want to fit the REARs with tyres as big as possible on the stock rims, something like 275 or 285! Tyres on car atm are 245/45/17.

Will I have to get a different profile, like 275/40/17? will the ride height be the same?

Thanks

doesnt GTR require front and back to be the same or it messes up the ATESSA system?

hey, thats what I had in mind aswell. Damn, no shortcut of having phat tyres at the back, like you see on some supras! In that case, will the 275 or 285 fit the stock rims all round? I was told it will fit but no point in doing it because the extra rubber will only be wasted without use! Can someone please correct me on this?

Thanks

Rolling diameter must remain the same for the computer to not be confused.

Have a look at the tyre manufacturers websites, for example most semi slicks in 255/40/17 are for 8-10" tyres, but for the ones I just bought there 8-9" only.

I think you could do 265/40/17 if you really want to I'm not so sure about 275/40/17...(or why you would want to :)).

Hey, I wanted something around 275 so it looks fat and chunky from the back. I guess its better to just get some new rims. Remember seeing this R32 GTR with 20in G-max mesh rims and had 300mm tyres :blink:

Time to save up for some rims them :)

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
