hi guys, im having issues with my cheap an nasty tyres haha. my car has a fair bit of low, and quite a bit of camber, and ive busted the internal sidewall on my front left. seeing as though the car is going into for more power, i figured its time to throw on a decent set of tyres.

my current ones are load rated @ 91Y which im guessing is to low for the stageas weight.

the tyres im looking at are 93W (extra load rated) made by bridgestone but under another name?? and just general road tyres, also have a nice heavy sidewall, will these be ok with the weight of the stag, im also raising the car back up because its a bit ridiculously low and the camber wear is crazy lol.

cheers.

93w will be fine. My car came from japan with bfg tyres that were rated 93y, now have federals rated 93W .

The numbers are the load rating and the letter is speed rating, w being 270kph & 93 being 650kg per tyre

i figure you should probably invest in a camber kit and a wheel alignment first - wind it right out then raise the car untill the camber is realistic

yeah i though 93w would be ok, the other i think are rated at only 420kg which is probably a bit under. the camber is not to bad really, ive had much more camber on other cars without an issue, but the stagea is obviously quite alot heavier. what camber arms fit into the c34??\

cheers.

How much camber do you have? You might get there with just the eccentric bushes. I have R33 Cusco camber arms at the front and some no -name ones (R33) at the rear. Cheap and nasty tyres are never a good idea on any car at any time.

yeah i would buy cusco if anything, theres a set up for grabs atm on ebay for $300... i might try to get a shot of the camber... i dont thinl its alot, i had alot more on my HR31 Passage GT and never had an issue... apart from going through tyres like a bitch haha.

my local bridgestone tyre center has a set of Federal 595's in a 245/40/19 that were a trade in... 85% tread even wear for $100 a tyre... worth it?.. the only downside is 40 profile in a 245 puts me 6.52% larger in diameter. im not worried about the speedo so much, its more the effect on braking.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
