I have a R33 GTR and I know that you need the same sized tyres on all wheels. I've been putting it in RWD using this method http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/379620-putting-r33-gtr-into-rwd/ I have standard R33 GTR wheels for normal use and R34 GTT wheels for RWD fun. The GTR wheels have 235/45/17 tyres and the R34 GTT wheels have 225/45/17 tyres. The wheels have different offsets but I was wondering if I put 235/45/17 tyres on the R34 GTT wheels, would it be ok to use them for the rear and use the R33 GTR wheels for the front when I want to put the car in RWD?

Will be fine. Wheel diameter is exactly the same, tyre is exactly the same. All same same.

More to the point, if the car is in RWD mode then you could even have different sized tyres front to rear as the ATTESSA system is already beyond caring about it at that point.

Wow really? Can anyone else confirm this?

Problem is that if I used it with different sized tyres, I'd have to keep putting it in RWD mode using that method everytime I turn the car off and on...

I fail to understand what your point is. You specifically said that you want to run the different wheels, and I quote "when I want to put the car in RWD".

I took that to mean you would be putting it into RWD mode when you had the mismatched wheels on it.

If what you really mean is you want the freedom to put it into RWD mode at any time, but run it in AWD mode at other times, with the mismatched wheels on, then of course the rolling diameter of the tyres must be the same.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
