So i just ordered a set of Rota Grids for my r33.

I got staggered 18x 8.5" & 9.5" Rear. Im looking to fit up 235 tyres to the rear for a bit of stretch, as dont want too much.

But what would people recommend for the front? Would 235 on the front also look ok?

Please let me know your opinions as i need to get tyres in the next day or 2. Thanks

As Callan said, 235 and 265 is ideal.... That's what i normally run (at the moment i run 235 & 275 as some cheap 275's were available to me)

I have run 235's all round when i wanted to burn an old set of 235s i had spare and it looks pretty soft! I am not a fan of stretch at all..... While it wasn't THAT bad, i still didn't like it and traction was garbage!

The 235 does not look that impressive TBH

Depends how low you are going with the car too, i lowered mine and with the 275's had to roll the guards, used heat and was careful and the paint still split :verymad: Ah well!

235,245,255,265,275 should all fit..... You could stretch 225 but if you want any traction i wouldn't bother.... On that note, Kurtis34 has some cheapies for sale and he is on the Central Coast so you may be able to buy and try and if you don't like it skid them to death and try another size :laugh:

Have u had any quotes on these man?

Not on the KU36, i was going to go Federal RS-R as they are around $240-250 per corner for most sizes.....

For your comparison of the KU31 your limits are endless, depends how much grip you want and how much you wanna spend, between option 1 garage, St george tyres and some other players out there its cheap tyre time!!!

Yeah your not wrong, its a buyers market atm.

Alot of companys are parralell importing around the country and have some really good deals out there

The ku36 is an awesome tyre, but they dont get much kms out of a set thats for sure because of how soft they are. lol

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
