Tyres For My 34

Hi Guys,

I have a had a set of 34 GTR wheels that are waiting to be put on my 34GTT

I think if memory serves, the wheels are 18x9 +30?

I'm looking at getting a really decent set of tyres, possibly something like the pirelli p zero's or equivalent.

All I'm really after is just to get the correct tyres for the rims and my car.

I have been looking for sometime at getting 265/35/18's all round, but after a bit of googling, it looks like they would be fine for the rear, but would need a different fitment for the front?

If you guys could offer a bit of assistance with my situation, that'd be great.

Cheers,

Jacob

245s would be ideal

Damo, what are you doing mate? Bad advice is bad.

What tyre profile would you run on an R34 GT-T with a 245 section width? 245/35 is too short and 245/40 too tall. If you really want something fat on the back run 225/40R18 on the front and 255/35R18 on the rear, otherwise a good quality 225/40R18 will be up to the job on a Skyline without ridiculous power.

OP also stated that he is looking at getting decent tyres, if he opts for a Toyo Proxes R1R (which I can't reccomend enough), Yoki Advan AD08 or similar these will have a wide contact patch for their respective sizes i.e a 255/35R18 R1R is usually as wide as a mid-range 265/35R18.

255's look nice and beafy at the rear, especially with the +30 offset. Keep with 225's or 235's at the front I reckon, you don't want too much resistance when turning your wheel, it can get annoying! My ones are 40 at the front and 35's at the rear, 18's all round, they fit nice and snug

Either 225 40 18( will give it a slight stretch) or 235 40 18( better suited for performance)

And a 245 40 18 or 255 35 18 rear. Both will work nice on the rear on the 9". 265 rear you would want a 235 40 18 front.

And yes going too wide on the front will cause tram lining which does get VERY annoying!

Depends on what tyres you are looking to fit on.

I agree with Ali.

225/40/18 on the front, and a 255/35-40/18 on the rear.

For tyre selection, it comes down to the way you drive. Do you track it often? Do you daily it? Is it a weekend only car? Do you carry big loads? Would you prefer grip or longevity? How much did you want to spend?

There is a lot of factors to take into consideration when picking he right tyre for YOU, not just the right tyre in general.

Cheers,

Shazza

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t 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 when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
