I had to put on my spare wheel today due to a dredded puncture. I think its the wrong size, i mean i know its a different rolling diameter to my other tyres because its throwing my torque gauge on permenently which cant be good, and its also making my car shudder so much which could be due to being off balance.

Anyway my tyres on the car are 225/50 R17's

My space saver reads T125/90 D16

Now i presume that its basicly the same measurement system the 125 means width the 90 means profile and the D16 is the size of the diamter of the rim

Now would i be right in saying that because the rim dia is smaller by an inch my profile should be bigger by an inch making that a profile size of 60 not 90.

just need confirmation of what size my space saver my car should have whit my tyres?

Thanks

the 50 and 90 are a % of tyre width

See here - it is called aspect ratio

So how do i find out what size my spare should be so its the same rolling diameter as my other wheels

I'm pretty sure space saver tires are not available in Aus so try not to wear it out if you can help it. When I get a puncture I get my wife to bring me a whole set of rims/tires to drive home on. I know that someone is going to come in and say that they are available but I have been to many tire places and no one imports them anymore. I can't see this differing from state to state.

I did a comparison between my stock 17inch alloys and my space saver today and theres 30mm difference which explains alot why my torque gauge if going of its nut, not good for the system. Maybe it might be worth me seeing if i can get on off a falcon or something that has 17inch rims and would have a 17inch space saver. otherwise im stuffed if i get a puncture anywhere.

I just factor in a tow if I get a punture haha, I like the idea of a spare from a lager car hhhmmm maybe ford wreckers? Also is your space saver on the front or the back? I think it would cause less of an issue on the front though I have never tried it.

yeah but it would be a pain in the but getting towed if i get a puncture, i like to be able to get these situations sorted myself but if i cant get a spare sorted out i might have to enquire about getting a racv membership cause i know they give you free tow if your car breaks down.

As for the ford wrecker im not sure even if the falcons have space savers, im pretty sure they do but not 100% and i bet you if i find one that it doesnt have the correct size tyre on it. So that leads me to trying to source a tyre which could be a mission in itself as when i got my tyre back from the tyre joint today i asked about getting a space saver and they said you cant buy them, go see the car manufacturer.

I imagine that the tyre being on the front would be less of an issue also being that the front diff doesnt actually engauge unless your back wheels start to brake traction. Not sure about that though cause they do require a 4wd dyno and when you have them on the dyno all the wheels spin.

its only a temporary tyre to get you out of trouble....get to a tyre shop for a proper solution

I realise that and its fixed, but i dont alot of driving around Australia and i dont want to get stuck somewhere where i cant use my spare. The only solution a tyre shop can give me is to buy another full size wheel which isnt really an option as i will lose the room that i need in the back of my car, hense the posts to try and get this sorted.

OK so my space saver is a E-08A T125 / 90 D16

hope that helps

And I hope I never have to use it, it looks to small to go on my mountain bike let alone a awd wagon

yeah same as mine mate, i had issues with using mine the other day hense why im asking. f**kn nissan, hopeless. The least they could do is make a space saver that works and wont cause damage to your car. They have thought of everything else when designing the stag.

I booked my trip at the end of the year so we will have to catch up.......

Spare in a bottle?? I know it's not the ideal solution, but at least it will keep the rolling diameter consistent: a new tyre has to be cheaper than repairing a fried ATTESA system....

Spare in a bottle? what do u mean? id rather walk home and pay for a tow truck than use my spare.

The aerosol sealant that you find at autobarn/supercheap, etc: seals and inflates a puntured tyre, but the repaired tyre is pretty much a throwaway... Pretty sure some manufacturers were supplying it instead of a spare tyre for a while...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      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.

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
