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

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
