imho 235/45/17

it's the most common size and is by far the cheapest option / you can get better rubber due to the cheaper price

Not worried about cost. Just want to get the right tyre for the rim. .

How about the profile guys?

Cheers for the replies!

What are you going to be using them form, how low is the car, what is the offset of the wheels?

235/45 for street driving.

255/40 for track, more grip. Harder to fit in the guards, will not have the tucked look.

I run 255/40/17 on my GTR, they look perfect on the wheels and car. Only thing was I had to roll the rear guards but at std height you should be fine. Heres a pic not the best for looking at the tyres but something none the less.

arent the stock GTR tires 255's? dont go smaller than stock...seems to defeat the purpose.

i love my 235/45/17...but i dont own a GTR. makes sense to me to stay large if money isnt and issue and you have the GTR guards to fill. id say go stock 33 GTR size(whatever than may be

+1, same.

FWIW 255 is not the tread width, and there will be a little variability depending on what brand/model of tyre you get. You can usually find the actual tread width on the manufacturers website, and its the tread width that's important WRT rubbing.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
