Yeah I got a set of 16s for my drag tyres but these are more for wen i go gripping around the track and want something with decent grip for everyday. Yeah I was leaning towards just 245's all round.

why would u pay more for shit handling then?

they are too big for those rims and will just flop around on the rim giving poor feel, response and in a lot of cases mid-corner grip depending on how much the tyre distorts.

would 265s fit on a 9inch?

yes, but 255 is as big as i would go.

people should remember that balance is key, going for ridiculous sizes on the rear is useless for circuit if u cant get anything close to that on the front. most gts-t's arent running nearly enough power to justify a huge tyre width stagger from front to rear, most do best with a close to neutral balance due to their inherent understeer issues. and if ur talking gtr, well even moreso.

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
