i have 1 month old ROH DriftR wheels/tyres

front 18x8 (tyre Falken ZE512 235/40)

rear 18x9 (tyre Dunlop LM701 265/35)

they fit my R33 no rubbing, reason for sale is due to change of jobs my wife will have to drive it now & then & if you see what she has done to VT wagon mags you would now why (she is a good driver just scraps gutters parking).

offers over 2K accepted, don't waste your time offering under that because i will just keep them.

if you need pic go to ROH web site.

justinfox... you don't have to have all the wheels the same size, as long as the rolling radius is the same. Alot of people have experienced problems with their ATESSA by not having the the wheels the same (rolling radius).

you can have rims that are smaller, and tyre walls that are larger, etc. But this is a REAL hassle to arrange, so it's best if you keep tham all the same size.

For your interest here is something I found a while back...

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

This lets you try different combinations of tyres / rims and gives you the rolling radius, when compared to stock rims it will tell you if your speedo is going to be out and by what percentage.

This also shows that no 2 combinations are identicle, unless you want to put something like 185/60/15 on your GTR (which won't even fit around the brakes!).

After this, as zRoyz states, you then have to take the cars setup and balance into consideration, and this is where the offsets are important.

There's more to fitting new rims than 'these ones are nice'.

Good luck with the sale zRoyz, these rims look great. A mate of mine DJR33 put a set on his car a few months back!

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
