spaz moment, the 235/40 compared to the 45, this will increase spedo reading yes?

i know only by likr 3-4% but i have a 10% speedo error (always reading to high) anyway

The higher profile will make the car go faster than the speedo is reading, so if your speedo currently reads higher than you're actually doing, it will correct this somewhat...but rather negligible as you say.

Let's not use confusing terms that could be interpreted differently.

Speedo runs off the gearbox output shaft, so it takes its reading based solely on engine rpm and the gear selected, irrespective of what's happening at the tyres and diff. Therefore, 2000rpm in 5th will always make the speedo read the same speed (say ~80km/h) no matter what size tyres or diff ratio you have.

Increase your tyre diameter and the vehicle physically goes faster but the speedo reading stays the same. So if your speedo reads high, putting on larger tyres will make it more accurate. If it reads low, putting on larger tyres will make it more inaccurate.

Manufacturers usually calibrate the speedo to the standard tyre diameter and make it read a little bit high so that they aren't responsible for people's speeding fines.

received the tires, unfortunately i stuffed up the tire speed calculation (yep did it backwards in my head....derp).
my speedo error reads to high already, the new diameter for my wheels means it will now read higher again not lower so they really dont suit which sucks.

still unfitted
which sucks cos the tread pattern looks so nice

re listed in sa :P

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
