Track Guru's. What Size Tyre

Hey all

I've got a quick question that I can't find an adequate answer to.

I have a set of 17 x 9 track rims. Now the biggest size tyre that can be fitted is a 255. I'm looking at running semi slicks. Nt01 to be exact.

Now the question. Is this tyre size adequate for my r33 gtr running 300kw?

Or should I be upgrading to a 9.5" rim running a 275 tyre?

Your input is much appreciated

An NT01 in 255 will be fine an NT01 in 275 will be better :D

Edit : will add I have 265/35/18 Hankook Z221s I will be running on my 34 with well over 400kws for track and have Hankook Z222s RS3s 275/35/19 for every day use and they do a admiral job of holding on

It's more tyre then size, my 255/50?/16 Toyo TQs hold the power way way better then the 275s ( yes I actually got 16" R32 GTR wheels on my 34 :) ), the NT01s are basically a Toyo R888 anyway so if you already have them they will be way good enough, if you have to buy then then you may as well get 9.5s and go 275s

Same tyre then bigger wins :thumbsup:

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
