Hey all, for my 32 gtst which has 32 gtr wheels.

I will be using kumho KU31 tires as I love them and an get them cheap,

My question is what is the original tire size (car is not with me) and what do you recommend for tire size for street use.

The car is lowered but not to any point of needing lower profiles or having any former issues obviously.

Do I stay with stock sizes or change them a little.

The ony thing that will change what I will buy is sometimes obscure size Crete obscure prices, I doubt that will be the case with 16s though?

I was bored and had a look around, 225/50 16 seem to be the most common size for 16" rims between 6" and 8" for street tyres, I'm using Hankook ventus Rs3 atm and they are the best street tyre I've ever used, and at $116 a tyre you cannot go wrong.

Stock GTR setup, from memory:

Tyre size: 225 / 50 / 16

Wheel size: 16 x 8 +30

Stock tyre size will do you fine for stock GTR wheels.

Not till you want to run a set of 17 x 9 / 17 x 9.5 or 18 x 10 etc. wheels and going more low.

Then there will be other tyre sizes to look at.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
