My Torque Gauge Is Not Working As It Was With The Standard Gtr Wheels Its Constantly On 10?, The Guy I Brought The Wheels Of Said The Same Thing He Reckons Something To Do With Bigger Tres On The Back? Any Truth To This And How To Fix It?

I had the same problem on my 32 GTR a while back. Had some 3 month old 255/40 R17 Federals on the back and replaced the fronts with brand new 255/40 R17 Potenza S03's. The difference in rolling diameter was enough to put my torque gauge permantly on about 8. Put the new Potenzas on the back and everything went back to normal.

There is no law against putting the same size tyres on those rims.

245's will be happy on both those widths. Commodores have 235's on 8" rims

stock BNR34s run 245/40R18 on 9" wide wheels. It is all good dude!

Trivia:... 911 turbos use different diameter front and rear tyres to preload the viscous coupling that transfers torque front to rear.

all four wheel/tyre combos must be the same on a gtr.

No, you can have different widths front and back but the tyres you use have to have the SAME ROLLING Diameter.

So its just a matter of getting the right aspect ratio of the tyres correct.

Its the same if you get a partly flat tyre, the torque gauge tells you something is not right by running quarter way on constantly.

if you have different size tyres on (that arn't exactly the same rolling diam), the ATTESA picks up that one set of wheels (front or back) is spinning faster than the other set, so it gives you some front torque...

everyone i know with a GTR goes for same size wheels/tyres for this reason, plus we can fit them under our gaurds :D

the difference in wheel size may affect it though. cause when you put 245s over 9 inch wheels they will stretch more than on 8 inch. The more stretched, the less upright the sidewalls so the rolling diameter will be less.

or may be less. just a thought. can anyone clarify...

Yes... that is right. It all depends how smart the computer is

If it is 8.5 vs 9.0 inch and he is using 245/40R18's and lets just assume that 8.5" gives you a perfectly straight sidewall you would have a total diameter of 653.2mm So if we stick them on 9" wheels (6.35mm wide each side) and assume (there is that word again) that the sidewalls are 100% stiff and retain their 98mm length then the according to Mr Pythagoras new effective height would be 97.98mm which is probably something I have stuffed up...

So the difference would be 0.04mm on the total diameter.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
