255/40s on an 18x10 rim :blink:

I too call you stretch

Stop mucking around and put those AD08rs on

haha, I thought the stretch was from a wasteland thread I was playing on :)

The tyres were on the car when I bought it and as the car has been living away from home most of the time I have not bothered. I want play a little bit when I run it in before I put the AD08Rs on.

I wanted 275/35 but they do not make a 275, just 265 then 285 ?

solution was simple.......should a got 285s :P

I know now :(

BJ said these 265s are the recommended size and I was not sure about the 285s but they do not last forever and if I like them, next time :)

what model you got mate?

R33's you can get away with fitting nice phat tyres but the R32's not so much

Yeah, gota call and could have got them for $220 as they got a lot in and trying to flog them :(

At first I was looking at going to 19x10.5 with the 285s but for whatever reason I changed my mind, cannot remember why, too much red maybe :)

When you are going through a learning curve with these cars it is not easy with anything you want to do, brakes and tyres are amongst the most confusing :/

But everything can become confusing and the more you read the worse it gets. In the end you have to make your mind up what you want from the car for yourself, then make the choice and hope it gets you what you want, it can be a costly choice if you get it wrong, lol

I totally understand what you mean. I've been there.

However you can only try to do what you think is right.

Sometimes you get it wrong but that's how you learn.

Talking to peeps in the business is sometimes the best thing instead of researching

After researching for ages I did speak to like mined blokes on SAU on just about everything I have done so far, then researched the info given. But they still have their preferences but a great guide to know what they have done has produced the type of results I wanted.

After I was sure what I had done to the car was not getting me the response I wanted I decided on the Nitto 3.2 stroker.

I kept everything from the earlier mods I did except the cams. I am sure I can get a lot more from the car but I do not need it :)

Probably went into over kill with the drive-train, but it all sounded soooooo GOOD :)

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • 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?
    • @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?
