Hi all,

Newbie question - do the front and rear wheels need to be the same width for an R32 GTR, or any GTR for that matter?

I'm keeping a sideways eye out for an appropriately priced set of 17" LMGT2's and I understand that they came in 8" and 9" widths. If I came across a set of two 9" and two 8" rims, would they be suitale for rear and front of my car respectively?

Cheers!

Mike

Rolling diameter for ATTESSA cars (e.g. GT-Rs) have to be the same. ATTESA doesn't like different rolling diameters, you'll wear it out a lot quicker as it keeps kicking in. So, the tyre sizes have to be the same.

You can perhaps run the same size on all wheels? I would rather run the same size all round.

In saying that, yes you can run different width tyres, as long as the "rolling diameter" is kept the same on all four tyres.

And having said that......it is so much easier to keep all the rolling diameters the same if you have the same wheels. So don't shoot yourself in the foot. Buy the same wheels all round. Besides which, it looks and works better. The staggered look is for gronks who don't understand that the front wheels do the steering and the braking (and are therefore just as, if not more than, important as the rears.)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
